"This distance learning home study course is designed to prepare you for your A-Level Dutch examinations and is aimed at achieving a top grade."

"This course will suit you if you already have a proficiency in Dutch at A-Level standard but just require exam training lessons to help achieve a top grade."

"This course includes unlimited e-mail support from a qualified Dutch teacher for 12 months to help you stay motivated whilst studying at home."

The course consists of:
• 20 written lessons covering topics from the A-level Dutch syllabus.
• Selected Dutch grammar covered by the A-level Dutch syllabus.
• The examination structure, procedures, instructions, and formats.
• Audio CDs with listening exercises.
• Templates for all the homework exercises available online. Just fill them in and send them off!
• Homework correction by e-mail.

This course is designed to be completed in one academic year where each lesson takes between two and four hours of study to complete. You may study at your own pace and send in your homework assignments when you are ready. The course is delivered in three parts. Part 2 and part 3 will be delivered on completion of the preceding part. Please note that there is no speaking activities in this course as the A-Level Dutch examinations consists only of reading, writing, and listening questions.

We usually recommend that students begin this course in the autumn, say in September or October, to prepare for exams the following summer. However, you may start any time from the end of July until the beginning of January. The very latest starting date is the second week of January provided you are prepared to complete 2 lessons per week.

This course is suitable for adults and children from the age of about 16.

The 2009-2010 version of this course will become available for shipping from 19 July 2009 onwards.
