I think it is a very good program, very well organised with very good materials aswell. In my particular case I took the program before moving to NL and I think it would be more productive to take it once you are immersed in the Dutch culture. You also need to ensure that you have enough time for doing the homework and lesson preparation to take full advantage of the course.

I had no knowledge of the Dutch language but with teacher Christine everything was much simpler. She is very professional, cheerful and fun. I am very motivated to continue in her lessons. 

In one month, I have picked up the essentials for the Dutch language, and can now confidently order items, request assistance, offer basic descriptions, express whether or not I like something, answer basic questions and make comparisons between people, objects, places and animals. 

Our teacher Mr. Maarten Smit was very capable, and I learned a lot under his guidance. The overall communication with Kickstart School was also excellent. I am very pleased with what I was able to learn in this amount of time.

I could use what I learned in the real Dutch environment. I think it's beneficial for me to have a head start in studying Dutch. And the teacher makes it easier to learn.
