Approachable, good content

The step was quite big for me to start, but the entry level is very accessible. All aspects are adequately covered; speaking, listening, reading, grammar. You get good feedback. Because there is a lot of material to do independently, you can get as much out of it as you want.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which English language level suits me?

To make sure you enrol at the right level, you can take our free placement test. This test will help you assess your current level of English. Once you’ve completed it, the test will be marked by one of our experienced teachers, who will provide you with personalised feedback. That way, you’ll know exactly which level suits you best.

Can I make up a missed English class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently, so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay for my English course in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.

How flexible is a language course via e-learning?

With e-learning, you take classes when and where it suits you. Many students choose e-learning because they want to combine targeted learning with work, study or a busy family life. You largely determine your own pace and can often start immediately.

What is the benefit of a refresher course?

A refresher course helps you to actively use previously learned language skills again and eliminate any gaps in your knowledge. You repeat important grammatical rules, expand your vocabulary or practice with verb tenses. As a result, you communicate more accurately and confidently.
