No, the course fee includes the selected chapters of the book and workbook for the level in which you are enrolled.
You can get books from lower levels for 15 euro per level.
When you already have some knowledge of Dutch or Mandarin, you can apply for a higher level of the language course. You can do this either by taking an intake test or by showing a certificate that you have acquired at another language institute.
Our intake test is to determine your proficiency in either Dutch or Mandarin. The exam consists of a written and an oral part focusing on both grammar and vocabulary. The written exam lasts for a maximum of 1 hour, while the oral exam lasts for a maximum of 15 minutes. There is no need to study for the intake test.
You can schedule an intake test by contacting us through education@csa-­eur.nl. The intake test has to be taken before the start of the first class.
The special speaking session is an interactive field trip organized in the middle of the trimester for the Dutch course. During the special speaking session, you will have the opportunity to practice your Dutch oral skills with native speakers and you will learn more about the Dutch culture.
This varies per level, as most costs are on your own expenses. However, the costs are minimal depending on your own choices.
You do not receive an official HSK diploma. However, you will receive a certificate signed by your teacher or course manager of CSA-­EUR.
Our courses starting from Beginners 1 until Pre-­Intermediate cover the content required by the Dutch government for the “Inburgeringsexamen”. This means that you have to take 4 language courses, if you do not have any prior knowledge of the Dutch language.
During the trial class you can have a sneak peek of our language courses. One of our teachers provides a demonstration class of our language courses. Before the beginning of each trimester, two trial classes are organized. One focuses on the beginner levels and is aimed at people who have no knowledge of Dutch or Mandarin. The other class is for anyone who already has some knowledge of the language.

You can sign up for the trial class by clicking on ‘Attend’ on Facebook or register via link-in-bio on Instagram.
