Crescendo CVO

“I attended classes every day and obtained my diploma in just one year. I graduated in June 2025 and, in September, I started the Accounting Administration programme at Thomas More in Mechelen.”

"A language course at Crescendo CVO is much more than grammar or vocabulary: it’s a bridge to respect, connection, and real opportunities in our society."

"By combining work and study, I want to be a good role model for the children. At home, we increasingly speak Dutch; the youngest two attend a Dutch-speaking school, and my husband is now also learning Dutch at Crescendo CVO."

"Few expats speak Portuguese. Those who do, like me, are sometimes thanked for it here."

"My dream is to get my diploma and work in a care home. The fact that we also learn Dutch in this programme is an extra motivation for me."

"When I started, Spanish was just beginning to be on the menu."

"The teachers are very supportive and extremely patient. They constantly correct us and revisit topics we struggle with."

"I can only recommend this course to anyone who loves travelling and learning new things. The level is very manageable without much extra study at home."

"The group was warm and lively, and most of us were learning Polish to connect with our partners. That shared goal gave us a sense of camaraderie and a bit of fun craziness!"
