Business Dutch for Companies and Employees: Tailored Training for Professionals in the Netherlands

For international companies expanding in the Netherlands, mastering Dutch is key to building trust, complying with regulations, and integrating effectively into the local business culture. But many HR managers face the same challenges when organizing corporate training:

• Courses that teach “general Dutch” instead of industry-specific skills
• Lack of clear progress tracking for employees
• Administrative complexity with HR and invoicing
• Busy professionals dropping out due to rigid schedules and irrelevant lessons

At coLanguage, we designed our Dutch training programs specifically to solve these problems for companies and employees.

Our Strongpoints: Why Companies Choose coLanguage

Unlike traditional language schools, we focus on corporate needs, not just classroom teaching.

• Progress Tracking for HR & Supervisors → get transparent reports on attendance, skill development, and outcomes.
• Sector-Specific Learning Paths → Dutch for finance, legal, engineering, logistics, healthcare, and IT — all with pedagogical structure tailored to each profession.
• Company-Specific Content → our teachers transform your company’s real documents (emails, contracts, manuals, reports) into practical exercises adapted to the learner’s level.
• Administrative Support → invoicing with payment delays, multiple billing addresses, and separate administration per department.
• Supervisor & HR Follow-Up → ongoing communication with HR and managers to adapt courses and ensure ROI.
• Blended Flexibility → employees learn in our online portal and app on their own schedule, but always supported by professional teachers in live sessions.

This approach ensures that training is not just “Dutch lessons” but a business solution.

Why Dutch Training is Strategic for Companies in the Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of Europe’s most dynamic economies, with high demand for skilled professionals across sectors. English is widely spoken, but Dutch remains essential for compliance, trust-building, and career growth — especially in regulated industries.

Key Sectors with High Demand for Dutch:

• Finance & Legal (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague): law firms, banks, and corporate compliance departments require Dutch for contracts and legal documentation.
• Logistics & Trade (Rotterdam, North Brabant): the Port of Rotterdam and regional logistics hubs rely on Dutch for operations, safety, and client relations.
• Engineering & Technology (Eindhoven, Brainport Region): Dutch is often required for project documentation, technical teams, and collaboration with local partners.
• Healthcare & Pharma (Utrecht, Leiden, Groningen): healthcare professionals and researchers must often meet Dutch language requirements for regulations and collaboration.
• Government & Public Institutions (The Hague, Utrecht): working with authorities requires fluency in Dutch for compliance and reporting.

In each of these sectors, the pain point is clear: employees don’t need “tourist Dutch” — they need professional, job-specific Dutch.

Designed for Higher-Educated Professionals

Our Dutch courses are built for busy professionals who can’t afford to waste time. Instead of generic grammar, we focus on:

• Writing and understanding legal or technical documents
• Negotiating and presenting in Dutch
• Participating in Dutch-speaking meetings
• Communicating with local stakeholders, clients, or government
• Understanding regulatory and compliance-related language

Employees learn exactly what they need for their profession and workplace context.
