Tuition for in-person and online courses is the same, that is €275 for a 5 ECTS course or €220 for a 4 ECTS course.

In-person courses generally assume students organising their own accommodation. The only exception is summer intensives.

There is (limited) accommodation available for summer intensives. This costs €450 for a 4-week course and €225 for a 2-week course.

All in-person courses are taught at Tyndale Theological Seminary in Badhoevedorp (Amsterdam), the Netherlands. 

To broaden our scope, we have limited entry requirements for our courses. It is helpful to speak English, but not strictly required for most courses. 

Some courses follow on from each other; e.g. Greek 2 can only be followed after Greek 1. Certain courses are tailored specfically towards those teaching the Biblical languages or planning to do so.

All applications will be considered for approval. Enrolment in TAAL courses does not automatically guarantee enrolment into Tyndale programs, but if Tyndale's entry requirements are met, TAAL courses will be taken into consideration in the program planning.

No entry requirements: Greek 1, Hebrew 1

Previous knowledge of Greek or Hebrew required: Aramaic, NT Reading, OT Reading

Teaching position (or concrete plans to teach) PLUS previous language knowledge: Greek Pedagogy 1, Hebrew Pedagogy 1
