You’ll gain confidence, correct your mistakes, and quickly feel comfortable expressing yourself in Dutch.
Fewer spectators. More practice. More progress.
A certificate that recognizes your progress
At the end of your training, the Nederlandse Academie will issue you a certificate attesting to the level you have achieved.

Laura’s tips
If you are a beginner…
Opt for a full two-week module, half day or full day.
It is the best format for building solid foundations and making efficient progress right from the start.
If your schedule allows, add afternoon lessons as well, depending on your availability and on the time you can devote to homework. That will help you consolidate what you have learnt and progress faster.

For self-employed workers and companies alike, the Brussels Region provides grants and subsidies. The Nederlandse Academie is a training provider accredited by these institutions.

FAQ
An intensive Dutch training programme is an accelerated learning programme designed to progress rapidly thanks to a sustained pace, strong exposure to the language and reinforced pedagogical support. Unlike standard lessons, intensive training allows you to achieve visible results in a few weeks, or even in a few days.
Yes, provided you use an adapted methodology. Nederlandse Academie applies the Forcing method, an immersive and verbal approach that stimulates natural learning and accelerates the acquisition of linguistic automatisms. This is the method that enables rapid and lasting progress.
The Forcing method is based on:
- maximum linguistic immersion
- intensive oral practice
- constant interaction with the teacher
- immediate correction of errors
The goal is to force the use of Dutch from the start, in order to quickly overcome obstacles related to grammar or fear of speaking.
Intensive training is for:
- active adults wishing to advance professionally
- students preparing for an academic pathway in Belgium
- people wishing to sustainably integrate into Brussels or surrounding areas
- anyone needing rapid results, regardless of their level
No minimum level is required. Intensive training is accessible from beginner level (A1) to advanced level (C1). An online level test allows for homogeneous groups to be formed or a personalized program to be proposed.
The level test allows:
- to precisely evaluate your current skills
- to avoid training that is too easy or too difficult
- to adapt the pace, content and intensity
It is a key element to guarantee rapid and efficient progress.
Intensive courses generally take place during the day, with several hours of Dutch per day. This sustained pace allows for total immersion and promotes rapid anchoring of knowledge.
Courses are taught by native speakers, experienced and specially trained in the Forcing method. They support learners in an active, dynamic and personalized manner.

Yes. All intensive training is available:

- at a distance, via interactive virtual classrooms

- to follow your courses and educational materials online
- to view your results and progress
- to train independently via interactive exercises
- to access a syllabus adapted to your level
It perfectly complements in-person or distance learning.
Learners generally notice:
