Need help with passing the civic integration exam abroad?

For whom do we give the Dutch course?

Family reunification or have you recently married and do you want to apply for an MVV or a residence visa to the Netherlands for your partner? In that case, passing the basic civic integration exam is a mandatory part.

We offer Dutch language courses in Marrakech throughout the year, both in group lessons and individual lessons. The purpose of these language lessons is to prepare the student(s) as well as possible for the basic civic integration exam.

Through years of experience and the knowledge we have about the integration exam, we know exactly what knowledge we need to transfer to our students. Here, the chance is very high that the student will pass the exam in one go.

Learning the Dutch language is not easy. Certainly not for someone for whom the Dutch language is completely new. The state exam that must be taken at the Dutch embassy in Rabat requires an A1 level. An average student achieves this level within 3 months.

The Civic Integration Exam consists of three exam components.

The candidate can choose to take all three exam components simultaneously on the same day. Separate from each other is also possible. The three parts are therefore independent of each other. Therefore, if you do not pass one of the three exam components, you do not have to retake the entire exam and you can retake the separate component separately.

The three integration exam components are taken on a computer, also pay attention to this during the integration course.

- KNS (knowledge of Dutch society)
- Read
- To speak

In addition to giving language lessons up to A1 level, we also provide information and lessons about Dutch society. On the basis of a photo book, the students receive exactly the information and knowledge they need to pass the KNS component.

What can you expect from the Civic Integration Course?

- High pass rate guarantee
- Free Teaching Material
- One on one guidance
- Custom integration course
- Choice of group lessons or individual lessons
- Lessons are given both during the day and evening
- Experienced and well-trained teachers

The foundation of a child’s education is a crucial step in their learning journey. In my tutoring sessions, it’s essential to assess each student’s current level to identify where they need the most support and determine the best starting point for their educational development.

I plan my lessons around the specific subjects where the student requires assistance, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet their individual needs and help them progress confidently.

Joseph Moruzzi is a saxophonist originally from the United States and is currently residing in the Netherlands. The main focus of Joseph’s work as a musician is on classical and contemporary repertoire, which includes transcriptions of forgotten works, theatrical music, and new compositions written for the saxophone. Joseph has earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York as well as a Master of Music degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

As a teacher, I enjoy going through fundamentals when teaching the saxophone, whether that is technique, posture, or musicality. I make sure students are learning technique while playing pieces that they are interested in themselves, having a balance in the lessons. I also enjoy teaching various etudes or repertoire for the saxophone, giving the student a deeper understanding of the saxophone's history and versatility.

I am open to teaching in-person, but if virtual lessons are more convenient then thats is also possible. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Over the past ten years, I have specialized in classical violin performance, training in Spain and abroad through courses and masterclasses with professors from Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands.
Rooted in the Galamian school of violin technique, my teaching approach is individual and flexible, adapting to each student’s needs and goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages — from young beginners to adult learners — and at different technical levels, always focusing on a balance between instrumental technique and musical understanding.
I believe that learning music and mastering an instrument is a long-term journey. That’s why my teaching philosophy emphasizes enjoying the process, building a strong foundation, and developing a genuine connection with both the violin and music itself.
