These have been challenging times for us all at STE Languages. Fortunately, we were able to convert our training courses from face-to-face lessons to online lessons in a very short time frame. From what we can see from our student evaluations and responses from our clientele, is that people are very happy with our online training courses and our lessons have now even gone "global"; students have joined us from places such as Dublin, all the way through to Peru!

Therefore, our Online Classrooms will certainly be remaining as a "stand alone" product. However, STE Languages will be going back to its face-to-face lessons for both its group training courses and one-to-one training courses, as soon as it is possible and ​​will start to open its doors again in phases, as of next month.

Face-to-face lessons will be possible to attend as of 1 June at our teaching location at Aalsterweg 3 in Eindhoven, strict hygiene and social-distancing protocols will be in place.

Face-to-face courses will only be possible for small groups (max. 5 students) or for individual lessons. Individual training courses at company locations will also be possible in principle, under the understanding that the company itself follows hygiene protocols and the RIVM / Government regulations.

STE Languages will be able to accept up to 100 students in its building, as of 1 July and will teach small groups of its Summer School students face-to-face. In order to guarantee a distance of 1.5 meters, these groups will never be larger than 5 students.

As of 1 September, the Open Enrolments will be given face-to-face again, assuming that the Government will not change its policy at that time. These lessons will only be possible to attend face-to-face, unless students miss a lesson due to travel or some other valid reason, in which case, students will be able to attend the lesson remotely. In addition to the well-known face-to-face lessons, there will also be the option of attending full Online Open Enrollments. More information regarding this will follow.

Finally, we will ensure that we comply with all government guidelines; routing, signage, hygiene protocols etc. If the 1.5 meter distancing measure is still in force, we will then devise a (logistical) solution for these measures.
