FAQs

You can register for a group course by selecting the course you are interested in from the menu and purchasing it directly on the course page. If the course is currently unavailable or cannot be ordered, please contact us directly. We will be happy to advise you about upcoming courses and alternative options.

Course fees vary depending on the type and level of the course. You can find the current price on the page of the specific course you are interested in. If a course is currently unavailable or you would like more information, please feel free to contact us.

For the progression of your language level, it helps if you prepare well for your lessons and do the homework afterwards. The amount of (self) study varies from course to course. The teacher will advise you at the beginning of the course how many hours you should spend on self-study.

Everyone who can read and write to a sufficient standard (in their own language) is welcome to join a course. For on-site courses, students should already be residing in the Netherlands and be able to attend weekly lessons for a minimum of 3 months.

No, we do not handle any visa or accommodation requests. You are welcome to contact us from abroad, but you need to sit the intake test in person, so it is best to contact us after you have arrived in the Netherlands.

Our group courses are part-time and short-term. A standard group course has 10 lessons spread over 11 weeks. Lessons are 1 x 2 hours per week or 2 x 2 hours per week. We do not offer any full-time group courses during the regular terms.

In the summer we usually offer 2-week intensive courses of 30-40 hours.

If you wish to study 1-1 (private lessons) then we can offer you a more intensive package of study.

Before you register for a course, or private tuition, we provide an intake test to determine your language level. Based on the results we will advise which course is most suitable.

The intake test can be done online or you can make an appointment to do it at CBE Languages.

Our group courses are aimed at adults aged 21 and over, so children are not permitted. However, we can provide 1-1 or private group language tuition for children. Please contact the CBE desk for more information.

Our standard payment policy states all course fees must be paid upfront, before the course begins. In exceptional circumstances, where a student is unable to manage a one-off payment, we may allow payment in two installments.

Invoices and company payments are only permitted in one full payment.
