Learning Dutch

Enrolling for a language class in Flanders

• Make an appointment with the Agentschap Integratie & Inburgering. During an intake interview, a member of staff will help you find the course that best suits you.
• The member of staff will ask questions about which languages you already know, which diplomas you have, why you would like to learn the language, whether you have a lot of time or not much... You will sometimes need to take a test to ascertain your language skills.
• After the interview and the test, the language centre will propose a course.
