Course programme
We do not believe in standard textbooks. That is why every pathway starts with an extensive intake, free of charge. During this intake, we determine your current starting level and discuss your specific learning objectives and challenges. Based on this conversation, we create a tailored language training programme. All theory is linked directly to concrete exercises within the context of your own workplace.
We cover not only grammar and speaking skills, but also your own practical examples. For example, we analyse your English emails, project reports and presentations.
Because the training course is tailored to your intake, the programme is always relevant. The emphasis is on practising your personal learning objectives, with the following topics covered:
- Grammar and technical terminology
- Writing accurately and using technical terms correctly.
- Speaking skills
- Participating fluently and confidently in online and face-to-face meetings and discussions.
- Presentation skills
- Delivering a convincing, technically substantive presentation in English.
- Practical exercises
- Working directly with your own cases, such as emails, manuals and reports.

Why choose Dosign Academy?
Many general language institutes lack a feel for technical practice. We speak the language of engineers. That is why you choose a language training course that moves away from standard textbooks and is fully aligned with your professional reality.
Personal advice and guidance
We start with a free intake. During this intake, we determine your exact starting level and personal learning objectives. The theory and exercises are then linked directly to your own practice. For example, we work with your own English emails, reports or project documentation.
Experienced trainers from industry
Our language trainers understand the significant difference between general English and the nuances of technical terminology. They understand the dynamics of international engineering projects and teach you to communicate exactly as expected in industry.
Flexible and practice-based approach
The training course is highly flexible and practice-based. You determine the training location, training days and times in consultation with the trainer. We also offer this training as an in-house programme for small groups of colleagues, ideal when an entire project team needs to switch successfully to English.
The importance of good English in the technical sector
In the technical sector, miscommunication can be dangerous and expensive. An incorrectly translated tolerance in a specification, unclear safety instructions or a hesitant presentation to an international client can seriously harm a project. By investing in a focused Technical English course, you eliminate this noise. You learn to communicate complex technical content clearly, professionally and with nuance to non-Dutch-speaking colleagues or clients.
This not only improves the quality of your work, but also strengthens the professional image of both you and your organisation.
