Dutch as a Second Language Course:
As an expatriate living and working in The Netherlands, learning Dutch for the first time, or even improving your existing skills, is vital if you want to communicate better and integrate more successfully into Dutch society. With PCI you can follow the officially certified NT2 (Dutch for Foreigners) Dutch language course.

- At the end of the course, the NT2 State Examination is taken under the auspices of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences.
- The examination is intended for adults from foreign countries, who would like to work or study in the Netherlands. 
- Success in the examination will result in a diploma, which shows the owner has sufficient grasp of the Dutch language to either study or get a job in the Netherlands.

Dutch Language & Culture Course:
Gaining the 'NT2 Certificate of Proficiency in the Dutch language' is highly desirable, but PCI recognises that many working expatriates and their families seek a broader and less intensive form of study to adapt to a new life in The Netherlands.

The 'Dutch Language & Culture' courses are designed to prepare and ease your relocation and stay in The Netherlands. They combine the teaching of everyday phrases that you will need when you buy your groceries, see a doctor, open a bank account, or take your children to school. At the same time you will also learn a great deal about the cultural nuances of behaviour at for example, social events or when having to deal with Dutch bureaucracy.

The course will quickly give you the confidence that you and your family need to face the challenges that a new environment presents in both social and simple working situations. The 'Dutch Language & Culture' courses for expatriates are available in various formats including group workshops and one-to-one coaching.

Dutch Language Online Course:
The modules are not independent of each other; there is a clear link between them. Knowledge gained in one module is used in the next as modules build on and expand previous lessons. Therefore, always begin with the first module and work step-by-step. Any knowledge gap becomes immediately apparent so that you can focus on it.
