Extraordinary circumstances & EpidemicsDutch Course Eindhoven2023-12-07T10:07:12+01:00

We reserve the right to change the physical group lessons at any location where the Academy offers them to lessons in our virtual classroom (via the internet) under extraordinary circumstances such as:

1. If our teacher is sick and we are not able to find a replacement in time, we may offer you an online lesson instead of one at the Academy. This also means that you may have the replacement lesson via the internet at a time other than your usual class time. Replacement lessons are offered on Saturdays or Sundays. We will send you an email with all instructions. Missed replacement lessons are not eligible for refund.

2. Epidemics (like the COVID-19) or other extraordinary circumstances. The outbreak of COVID-19 can constitute extraordinary circumstances as it is a serious public health emergency which can result in draconian public measures that are entirely out of our control. We follow the advice of the RIVM (National Institute for Public Health and Environmental Protection) and keep track of the public situation in Eindhoven. As long as universities (TU/e, Fontys) continue education, we will continue our lessons. If they close, we will continue lessons in our virtual classroom on the internet. You will not be eligible for any refund.

We will always inform you by email about all changes to your course in advance. It is your responsibility to add our email address to your contacts and check your email (as well as Spam and all Gmail Tabs) daily.

If we are forced to close our offline lessons due to extraordinary circumstances and cannot offer online lessons instead, we reserve the right to postpone, change, or cancel your course and offer you a partial refund for the missed lessons.

Corona clausule in hybrid class format (online and offline students in 1 class)

Please take note: in a hybrid format, it is your choice as a student to attend the lessons online or face-to-face in Eindhoven. If you are anxious about getting infected by corona, we advise you to attend the class online.

We as a school feel the responsibility not to send a teacher to class if he is obviously sick. We expect the students to do the same. However, we cannot guarantee that no-one in the room is at risk of spreading corona.

Also take note that we do not, nor the venue, check for your vaccination status or QR-code. Under these circumstances, and by coming to class, please understand that you withhold us from any liability in connection to (possible) infections or illness after you having attended the lesson, whether the infection was actually (probably) contracted during the lesson or not.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should always self-quarantine and stay at home. In this case you can attend the lessons online. There are other circumstances in which you may need to self-quarantine, depending on your situation. If you arrive in the Netherlands from a very high-risk area, you must self-quarantine unless you are fully vaccinated. If a coronavirus test shows that you are infected, you must self-isolate, even if you are protected against coronavirus.

3. Our lessons take place in the building that also hosts musical events (The Dynamo building). The classroom is well isolated, but sometimes (special) musical events are held that can still cause disturbance. In such cases, we may decide to do one or more face-to-face lessons online. The teacher will communicate this timely in your Google Chat.

We care about a quiet learning environment and take precautions where possible, but if there is unexpected continuous noise disturbance during a lesson due to a (musical) event, the teacher can decide to stop the lesson and repeat it online at a later time.

Your responsibilities & Our school rulesDutch Course Eindhoven2021-06-25T16:21:12+02:00

1. Your commitment
You commit to the course for its duration.

2. Latecomers. Are you late for your class?
We expect you to be present at least 5 minutes before the start of the lessons. Our lessons are designed according to a very strict schedule. If you arrive late, you will disturb the lesson and other students, and may miss important information about the course or the Dutch language.

5 to 15 min late
If you are between 5 and 15 minutes late for the class, you cannot participate in it. You can ask your teacher for permission to participate. Please do not walk in and have a seat without asking for permission. If you arrive late once, your teacher may allow you to participate, but next time please do not enter the class. You will have to learn your lesson via our website at home or book a private lesson.

More than 15 min late
If you are more than 15 minutes late, you cannot participate in the lesson. Please do not enter the classroom. You have to catch up on the missed lesson or book a private lesson. You can ask your fellow students to share their notes with you.

We don’t want students to be structurally late. If you foresee that you will be late several times due to your job, discuss this with your teacher or send us an e-mail beforehand. We may make an exception for you.

3. Missed lessons (responsibilities and consequences)
Suppose that you are our student and cannot attend the lesson. You must notify the Academy 24 hours before the start of the lesson by e-mail (we accept notifications only by e-mail).

When you miss lessons, your fellow students may have trouble doing exercises with you. This can be frustrating for them and slow down their progress.

If you miss 3 or more lessons in a row without notifying us by e-mail, we assume that you quit the course. Your student account will be deactivated and no refund will be payable to you. If you want to rejoin the course, you need to ask our permission. We may or may not allow you to rejoin the course depending on your reason, attendance record, motivation, and achievement.

4. No homework exit rule
Learning Dutch takes a lot of effort. We expect you to do the homework so that your fellow students can do exercises with you. When you do not prepare for lessons, your fellow students may have trouble doing exercises with you. This can be frustrating for them and slow down their progress.

We accept only committed students. If you don’t do your homework 3 times in a row without any further notice (contacting us and explaining your reason), we assume that you are not further interested in taking our classes. You are expected to quit our course. Your course fee will not be refunded.

5. Your testing & certification according to our course plan
If you wish to receive our certificate, you will need to take our final test online. You can take the test only once. Your certificate will automatically be generated by our system after you complete the test. We will send the certificate to you by e-mail. We provide only digital certificates. You will receive the certificate only once.

The final test should be taken at the end of the course according to our course plan. If you do not follow the plan and take the test early, you will not have another chance to retake the test and will not receive any other certificate. If you want to take the test again, you have to book our private lessons or take the course again.

Hybrid class (Online and Face-to-face together)

Some Online Dutch students and Face-to-Face students in Eindhoven could be merged in a hybrid course (online and offline students following the same lesson in one class at the same time). It means that some students will be following and participating from their homes and some of them will come to the class.

Online and offline students will be able to participate equally in the lessons and get exactly the same amount of attention from the teacher. The only difference is that you will be staying at home or sitting in the classroom.

Every student has the freedom to try both the online format and the face-to-face lessons (to see what works best for you) during the course as long as you notify us in advance. There may be a constraint for the maximum number of students in the physical classroom.
