Learn Dutch, English or perhaps even Chinese with your colleagues, during or after working hours. With an in-company language course from UvA Talen, it's all possible! We organise in-company language courses for leading companies and organisations in sectors such as IT, consultancy, finance, engineering and life sciences. Recently, we have also established new partnerships with companies specialising in sustainable architecture and offshore operations. Whatever industry you work in and whichever language you want to learn, UvA Talen offers a tailored course programme and finds the right teachers for your company.

With an in-company language course, you and your colleagues can learn a new language together or improve your existing language skills. Whether it's communicating with clients, collaborating internationally or handling everyday conversations in the workplace, you'll learn exactly what you need in practice.

The lessons are tailored to your working environment, industry and learning objectives, allowing you to put your new skills into practice straight away. What's more, you'll learn not only from your teacher, but also from each other. Practising together, sharing experiences and celebrating successes makes learning more enjoyable, effective and motivating.

Flexible and tailored to your needs

An in-company language course is flexible, practical and tailored to your organisation. Lessons take place at a time and location that suit your team, either online or in person, making it easy to combine learning with work. We take care of the entire process for your company: from coordinating with teachers and participants and providing course materials to tracking attendance.

Whatever your learning objectives, we have the expertise to help. Would you like to focus on improving general language proficiency, developing industry-specific vocabulary or practising real-life workplace situations? Anything is possible with a customised course programme, delivered in the familiar environment of your own company.

Strengthening your team

Normally, you might only speak to Annemarie from Finance about the annual report, or Mohammed from Communications about the newsletter. But now you have the opportunity to get to know each other in a completely different way, learning a language together and sharing the experience.

Invest in growth, strengthen collaboration and boost your team's confidence. After all, learning a language together means growing together!

What one of our course participants, who works at Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam, says about our courses:

"I've now started reading Dutch financial news regularly. The course has helped me expand my vocabulary to a level where I can understand much of the news without having to look up words too often."
