Hexallt Abroad offers two pathways to help you achieve your dream of working as a nurse in the Netherlands. You can choose between the Express Process (4–5 months) and the Standard Process (6–7 months) based on your availability and pace of learning.
The main difference between the two is the intensity of language training:
- Express Process: Full-time language learning (3 hours daily classroom instruction + 3 hours of self-study).
- Standard Process: Part-time language learning (balanced pace with flexibility to manage other commitments).
Let’s explore both options in detail.
Express Process: Fast-Track to the Netherlands (4–5 Months)
This pathway is ideal for those who can dedicate their time fully to learning and preparation.
