De Taaltrainer demonstrates commitment to excellence with an accreditation from the Learning and Performance Institute.

The Learning & Performance Institute (LPI), the foremost accreditation and membership body for the learning sector, is pleased to announce that Netherlands-based language training company, De Taaltrainer, has achieved accredited Learning Provider status for the first time.

The LPI accreditation is a globally recognised independent endorsement of a provider's ongoing commitment to outstanding customer care, integrity and operational efficiency. The accreditation programme employs a highly robust framework, developed over many years by learning experts, and validated by data from thousands of organisations, to measure, benchmark and improve learning capabilities.

De Taaltrainer offers training in Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish and other languages but has made its niche by offering intensive and tailored training to small groups in both physical and virtual classrooms.

With approaches ranging from 1-on-1 coaching, "learning lounges", and specific blended programs with purchased online modules, much of De Taaltrainers' success lies in its ability to provide expert training across a wide range of delivery methods. The value to the customer is high quality, learner-centric language training with a high return on investment, a focus on the learning efficiency and (the selection of) the best trainer for each particular project.

LPI Accreditation consultant and LPI Business Partner, Henriette Kloots, said: "De Taaltrainer has shown that they can offer exactly what is needed in the market for language training, with a great focus on the needs of their clients. They are constantly making an effort in delivering training programs that offer applicability to the learner. To achieve LPI Accreditation as a Learning Provider is a fantastic achievement that will help them to continually develop themselves as well as position them as a paragon for other training companies in the Benelux to aspire to."

Miranda Bensing, owner of de Taaltrainer, said: "We are proud to announce that De Taaltrainer is the first language institute in The Netherlands to receive accreditation by the Learning & Performance Institute (LPI). In the six years since De Taaltrainer was founded, our trainers and office staff have worked hard to lay a solid foundation and build and maintain long-term client relationships. It is a welcome confirmation of our efforts that the professional and independent LPI has recognised the high quality of our training courses.  The LPI will continue to support our growth, innovation and commitment to learning efficiency in the years to come."

Edmund Monk, Managing Director, Learning & Performance Institute, said: "The LPI is pleased to welcome De Taaltrainer to the ever-growing family of accredited organisations. With this independent validation of their ability to deliver excellent customer service and operational efficiency, De Taaltrainer can now build upon their already strong foundation to become the leading language training provider in their market."
