The Erasmus Training Centre (ETC), formerly known as the \u201cErasmus Taalcentrum\u201d, was founded as a Dutch-language institute based in Jakarta on the premises of the Dutch embassy. It has provided Dutch-language and culture courses in Indonesia since 1981 and over 1,000 Indonesians per year attend its courses.

Currently, the mission of the ETC is to support and facilitate \u2018student\/ knowledge\u2019 connectivity between the Netherlands and Indonesia by offering Dutch-language and culture training, as well as academic preparation. The ambition of the ETC is to realize this mission in close cooperation with its partners while running operations self-sufficiently. Furthermore, as a platform, it offers opportunities for both Indonesian and Dutch higher education institutions, as well as businesses, to provide training and education in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our students are from all over Indonesia, many of them representing the so-called millennial generation who want to study in the Netherlands. Other ETC students include clerical and technical staff, professionals and homemakers who plan to stay in the Netherlands for a long period (more than 90 days) because of family or work commitments. ETC also runs programs for children (8-14 years old).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
