Crescendo CVO

"After 27 years in Belgium, I decided it was time to learn French too. Not as a hobby, but because mastering all three national languages is essential for true integration."

"A heartwarming moment was the Christmas party with the students at Crescendo CVO. The openness of the students was truly special and made me feel like I belonged."

"I enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"I felt that I was not alone. The teachers took the time and looked for solutions with me. I was given an extra semester to complete the programme."

“If you enjoy working with children or older people and you want to work with your heart, this is the perfect direction. You can even start in the middle of the year, just like I did.”

"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."

"The lessons are quite intensive: often, at the end of the morning session, we have to review our notes to reconstruct what we started three hours earlier. It can be a bit shocking to see how much material has been covered. Yet, few students drop out."

"I feel much prouder. Now I follow all my lessons in Dutch, and I’m really happy about that!"

"The atmosphere in the classes is really great. The learners come from different countries, and by learning together, we also became friends. The teachers are true professionals and are truly committed to helping us."
