Context

This article explains the complete cost structure involved in preparing for the Netherlands nursing pathway. It outlines training fees, structured support across stages, and external costs that may arise during the process.

1. Initial Assessment

The process begins with a structured evaluation.

This stage is used to:

• understand background and intent
• assess suitability for the pathway
• clarify next steps

Fee: ₹5,499+ applicable charges [GST]

This stage ensures alignment before further time and financial commitment.

2. How the Cost Is Structured

The pathway does not require a single upfront payment.

Costs are divided into:

• language training (learning system)
• structured support (process guidance and progression)
• external process costs (paid to authorities or based on employer policies)

This allows candidates to progress step by step.

3. Dutch Language Training (A1 to B1)

Training is delivered in structured bands.

The training follows a structured, pattern-based system designed for real-world communication readiness.

Each band typically lasts 1 to 1.5 months.

A1 Level

• Band 1: ₹15,000

• Band 3: ₹15,000

After completing A1 Band 1, candidates may proceed with formal registration.

Registration Stage

Registration Fee: ₹25,000 + GST + applicable charges

This stage includes:

• support for Certificate of Competence application (BIG process)

Official evaluation and certification fees are paid directly to the respective authorities and may vary.

A2 Level

• Total: ₹75,000
• Divided into 4 bands and paid in 4 installments as progress.

B1 Level

• Total: ₹1,05,000
• Divided into 5 bands and paid in 5 installments as progress.

Progression across bands depends on performance and consistency, not completion alone.

In addition to training, structured support is provided across key stages of the pathway.

Total structured support fee: ₹1,00,000, distributed across stages.
