About the lessons
About the class schedule
Students and Dutch for Doctors discuss class days in advance.
This can be done via WhatsApp or over the phone.
Education location
The lessons take place exclusively online, on Zoom.
Group lessons/Private lessons
If there is too much demand for classes, we will form groups and arrange you into a group that fits your personal schedule. However, it is not always possible to create a group. If group lessons are not possible, you will receive individual training. In both cases, group lessons and private lessons, the price is the same, because in both cases we present and deal with the same content.
Duration of the lessons
A class is 45 minutes long. You can take up to 3 hours of language lessons per day.
Break
After each 45-minute lesson, we take a short 15-minute break. During the break, our camera and microphone are switched off. After the break, we turn the camera and microphone back on.
Taking the books to class
You must bring your book to each lesson.
Writing assignments in the books
Always complete all the exercises in our books in writing. These are writing exercises so you can improve your Dutch writing skills. If you only participate orally but do not write anything down, this has a disadvantage, because you must also be able to write well at the end of the final exam that you need for BIG registration.
Take notes
During the lesson, we'll take notes for you and translate them into a language you can. Most of the time, our translation is English. After each lesson, you will receive our notes either via Whatsapp or email. In addition, take notes for yourself.
New vocabulary
The amount of new words you'll learn with us will be huge. Especially in the beginning, you will learn many new words from dentistry and general medicine and words you will need for every day. Make sure you always learn the new words properly after class. You also have to cooperate yourself to achieve good results in a short period of time. Remember that language always has a modular structure. If you haven't learned the basics properly, the top will be shaky.
Dealing with criticism
We often provide suggestions for improvements that are intended to make your language even better. Don't take these improvement suggestions personally. We don't want to attack you personally. Our goal is to actively support you and make your work process in the Netherlands or Belgium run as smoothly as possible.
Trial lesson
You have the option to arrange a 15-minute trial lesson with us before booking your training. In the trial lesson, we will explain our terms and conditions again, give you a brief insight into the content of the course and answer any questions you may have.
Payment
The language course/books must be paid in full before they start/before you receive them. After payment, we guarantee that you will receive the full service. If you would like to receive more lessons after the booked course, please contact us.
Sending and Receiving Books
The books will be sent to you by post. After booking the language course or after booking the separate books, enter in writing a postal address where you want to receive the books. The books usually take between 6 and 14 days to ship. It takes longer for long distances. It's faster for shorter distances. The shipping costs are €20, - for shipping to all EU countries. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship books outside the EU. If you are outside the EU and would like to receive the books there, please contact us.
Contract
After booking our language course, you will receive a contract and our terms and conditions by email asking you to sign and return them.
Cancellation of the language course
If you want to cancel the language course halfway, we generally don't give you a refund. In this case, please contact us and we will look at the options with you.
Learning outcomes
If the language learner does not learn their vocabulary properly, we are not legally responsible for the learning outcomes. Language learners should be aware that the results also depend on their personal commitment. The language learner must be aware that we cannot perform miracles. We can help, support, motivate and show the language learner everything. But we can't do the learning for him/her.
Single lessons
Do you not want to take a language course?
Do you want to book separate lessons? That's only possible:
Please note: Due to the provision of language courses, our language teacher is not always available to give separate lessons. Please contact us and we will look at the options with you.
Cancellation of appointments made
Appointments may be rescheduled, provided that your employee indicates this well in advance. Cancelling a lesson must be done at least 24 hours before by WhatsApp or SMS to + 31 6 230 6 211 0.
