This course is designed to be completed in one academic year and forms the first half of our two year A-level Dutch course. 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 are no listening or speaking activities in this course as the AS-Level Dutch examination consists only of reading, writing, and translation questions.

We usually recommend that students begin this course in the autumn, say in September or October, to prepare for the exam 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 have the equivalent of an A grade at GCSE and are prepared to complete 2 lessons per week.

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

What you will need before starting this course:
The equivalent of GCSE Dutch grade B or above (grammar you should be familiar with). We will ask you to complete our online Dutch test and write a short passage in Dutch before starting this course to ensure that your level is appropriate.
Access to a computer (so that you can complete your homework assignments).
• Access to the Internet (so that you can copy your homework templates and view your course status).
• An e-mail account (so that you can return your homework assignments and communicate with your teacher).
• Microsoft Word or other software that can display the 'track changes' information created by Microsoft Word (for viewing your corrected homework assignments).
