Zakelijk Nederlands B.V.: Dutch Training That Works
Professional language training designed for ambitious professionals who want to succeed in the Dutch workplace. We’re not just teaching words — we’re building your confidence and competence in business Dutch.
Why We Started Zakelijk Nederlands B.V.
We’ve worked with hundreds of professionals moving to the Netherlands or joining Dutch companies. The pattern was always the same: excellent skills, solid background, but stuck because Dutch language barriers held them back. That’s why we created something different.
The Real Challenge
It’s not just grammar rules. You’re navigating workplace culture, understanding subtle communication styles, and proving yourself in meetings where English won’t cut it. We’ve seen talented people get passed over for promotions because their Dutch wasn’t there yet.
Our Response
We built training that actually reflects what you’ll encounter at work. Not textbook scenarios — real conversations, real documents, real pressure. You’ll learn to present ideas confidently, negotiate terms, handle difficult conversations, and build genuine professional relationships in Dutch.
Our Training Methodology
Zakelijk Nederlands B.V. doesn’t follow the traditional classroom model. We’ve developed a framework specifically for professionals who need results fast, without wasting time on material that won’t help them succeed.
Assessment & Strategy
We start by understanding your current level, your role, and where you’ll struggle most. Manufacturing environment? Healthcare sector? Tech company? Each has different language demands. We’ll build a plan around what actually matters for your success.
Targeted Modules
Instead of generic lessons, you’ll work through specialized content: business presentations, email writing, difficult conversations, formal meetings, negotiation language. You’ll practice with actual documents and scenarios from your industry.
Active Practice & Feedback
You’re not watching videos passively. You’re recording yourself, getting detailed feedback on pronunciation and tone, handling roleplay scenarios with trained instructors who won’t go easy on you. This is practice that sticks.
Real-World Application
We’ll connect what you’re learning directly to your job. Bring your actual meeting notes, emails you need to write, presentations you’re preparing. You’ll practice with real material so there’s no gap between training and the actual workplace.
What Sets Us Apart
There’s a lot of Dutch language training out there. Here’s what makes Zakelijk Nederlands B.V. different.
Small Group Sizes
Maximum 6 people per session. You’re not sitting in a classroom with 20 others. You’ll get individual attention and your specific challenges will be addressed.
Industry-Specific Content
We don’t teach generic Dutch. You’ll learn the language you actually need — whether that’s healthcare terminology, technical jargon, or formal business communication.
Native Dutch Instructors
Our trainers aren’t just language teachers. They’ve worked in Dutch professional environments and understand the cultural nuances that textbooks miss.
Flexible Scheduling
Evening sessions, weekend options, and intensive programs. We work around your job, not the other way around. You can start whenever you’re ready.
Ongoing Support
Your learning doesn’t stop when the session ends. You’ll have access to resources, you can ask questions, and you can revisit material as often as you need.
Progress Tracking
You’ll see exactly where you’re improving. We measure your progress through realistic assessments that mirror actual workplace situations.
Areas of Specialization
Zakelijk Nederlands B.V. has deep expertise across multiple professional sectors and language challenges. Here’s what we know inside and out:
Technical Dutch for IT & Engineering: We’ve trained software engineers, architects, and technical managers. You’ll learn to explain complex systems, document processes clearly, and participate in technical discussions without losing your credibility.
Healthcare & Medical Dutch: For doctors, nurses, and medical professionals, communication precision is critical. We focus on patient interactions, clinical terminology, and professional documentation.
Finance & Legal Dutch: Formal language, contract understanding, and formal written communication. You’ll know the difference between casual and professional register, and you’ll use it correctly.
Sales & Marketing Dutch: Building relationships in Dutch, presenting your services confidently, handling objections, and closing deals. We’ll cover everything from cold calls to formal proposals.
Leadership & Management Dutch: If you’re managing Dutch teams, you’ll need to understand indirect communication, consensus-building, and the Dutch approach to feedback. We’ll prepare you for these dynamics.
“I wasn’t confident enough to speak in meetings. After three months with Zakelijk Nederlands B.V., I led a presentation in front of 30 people and didn’t switch to English once. It wasn’t perfect, but it was professional. That changed everything for me at work.”
— Marcus, Software Engineer
