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.”

"After two years, she will have a diploma as a care assistant and speak Dutch fluently."

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

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

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

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

“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.”

“I can already read and write fluently, and I just try to keep speaking, even if it goes a bit slower sometimes. All my colleagues support and help me, both with the language and with the work.” 

"Although I can follow the NT2 course well, learning Dutch is quite difficult. In Ukrainian, we don’t have articles. Making sentences in Dutch is really complicated. The lessons are very useful because I am learning Dutch specifically for technical professions. That will help me find a great job in the future."
