Registration

When the screening conversation is finished, it is possible to register for the desired course.

1. BEC/CBE

If you are sent to the BEC, an appointment will be made for you to register there. When you go to this appointment, your name will be put on the waiting list. An invitation will be sent to you once a place opens up.
If you take these courses, you are entitled to paid educational leave.

2. CAE/CVO
 
Registering for courses at a CAE can be done directly at the House of Dutch. One of the staff members at the House will show you all the course options, i.e. times, dates and locations. The price for a course is either € 40 or € 60, depending on the number of course hours. There are a number of payment exemptions, for instance if you are taking the integration courses or receive welfare payments. Staff at the House of Dutch will always check whether you are entitled to an exemption.
These courses also allow for paid educational leave.

3. UCT 
 
Registering at UCT Is only possible at the UCT itself. The cost is € 328 per level. There are 2 ways to pay a reduced registration fee.
Newcomers with a high degree of schooling who wish to start higher education studies may take the UCT’s First level for free if they sign an integration contract as well as taking a 'covaar-test' at the House of Dutch with a minimum score of 45/48. This scholarship is provided for by the Flemish Community as part of the integration policy.
There are scholarships to be obtained through the City of Ghent as well. With one of those scholarships, you will pay € 92 instead of € 328. There are 3 provisos: your domicile must be in Ghent, you must have a visum of permanent residence and finally, you must be able to prove that you have no income or substitute income. For more information: contact the House of Dutch through info@hvngent.be or 09 235 26 70

Abovementioned centres and the certificates they issue are all recognised by the Flemish Community’s Ministry of Education.
