Medical Dutch Course B2+ Level for Healthcare Professionals

This course prepares you for the Dutch B2+ language certificate for medical professionals.
After 9 lessons, you will be ready to take the official exam for the Dutch for Medics certificate (B2+ level). Have you passed the test? Then you will receive an official B2+ certificate which is (among other things) required for registration in the BIG register. If you fail a section, such as writing, you can retake it.

Course Content
In this course, you will improve your language skills to B2+ level: reading and writing, listening, and speaking. You will work on building vocabulary in the medical and dental field. You will learn how to conduct effective doctor-patient conversations (using role-playing). You will also read articles on medical/dental topics and develop your writing skills by writing your own texts on medical/dental topics. You will listen to medical presentations and lectures, have group discussions with your instructor and colleagues, and write medical reports. Videos and podcasts will help you expand your vocabulary and develop your listening and speaking skills. Two practice exams will prepare you well for the listening, reading, writing, and speaking section exams.

Possibility: taking only the exam 
It is, in principle, possible to take the exams at Lest Best without first completing the course. No intake is required for this. Total price for this is € 395 including a certificate.

⚠️ Please note: We strongly advise against this. Our exams are based on the material and exercises from the nine lessons of the course. Candidates who have not practiced medical communication skills, listening tasks, or writing assignments run a significant risk of failing.

Course costs

The cost of the B2+ course includes the exam, certificate for BIG registration, and course materials.
