Technical Training NT2 for Gas and Electrical Engineers - On location

Summary

This Language Partners training is designed for gas and electrical engineers who already have a basic knowledge of Dutch (minimum CEFR-level A2-)  and would like to progress to CEFR-level B2 or higher in Dutch for professional purposes. 

Description

This Language Partners training combines general language development with job-specific vocabulary required by gas and electrical engineers. It focuses on developing speaking, reading, and listening skills in work-related situations. 

Before the training begins, specific learning objectives are established together with the participant. The trainer then tailors the format and content to meet these goals and to the participant’s starting level, using both a mix of existing and new materials. 
 
Participants are also encouraged to bring in their own workplace materials, such as safety instructions or tool lists.
