School description

About us

Bogaers Language Institute started as a sole proprietorship and grew quickly into a private limited company. In 1986, Bogaers Language Institute was founded by Ms. J. van der Meijden, who has many years of experience teaching French and Dutch.

In August 1995, the ENT Language Laboratory – the first Dutch language laboratory – was taken over by Bogaers, enabling the company to broaden its professional services. After experiencing exponential growth in a very short time, Bogaers Language Institute became a limited company in 1997.

Quality
Bogaers Language Institute is a member of the branch association NRTO which adheres to a number of quality standards, such as Cedeo and Certiked. In this way, we can assure the finest quality service and customer satisfaction. We employ a coordinator as our main contact person who monitors the quality of the language training. In addition, we offer a number of experienced trainers for every language. Our clients comment time and time again that Bogaers distinguishes itself through personal attention, flexibility and courses that are made-to-measure.

In short – more language in less time!

I respect my teacher. She takes account for my level, request and my situation. But l afraid to say, the location isn't good. It's very far from the station and my house.

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Since 2 days the busstop is at 2 minutes from our school.

Enjoy your classes!

"Fun and educational lessons in a small group so that the guidance is good."

Kasper Schapendonk

I experienced the German lessons at Bogaers as pleasant. Mr. Gerritse has a lot of knowledge about the German language and knows how to convey this knowledge in a fun way to his students. Because of working in small groups it is easy to ask questions when something is unclear. Mr. Gerritse then explains it again with pleasure and uses interesting anecdotes from his time in Germany.

I find a minus the building in which Bogaers is located. Several times I stood down at the sliding door without Bogaers being accessible. Mr. Gerritse indicated that this is a known problem and that this is due to the fact that a telephone is not installed in every room. I would advise you to adjust this in the future.

Thanks for your feedback.

Now all the classes have an openingsystem corresponding to the bell which the student is using to come in.

The student should ring on the right number of his/her classroom and the teacher will open the door (if he is IN that classroom:-)

Enjou your lessons!
