Applying for Dutch schools

I would like to do a study or a short course that is not available in English. However, my Dutch is still at a low level. What can I do?

I would like to study online. Is that possible in the Netherlands?

Most courses and studies require that you attend classes on a regular basis in addition to online learning. If you want to do a course which is only online, you could consider following a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). This is an online course on university level provided by a university in the Netherlands or abroad. Many MOOCs are offered at Coursera.org. You can also choose to enrol in a study or course from an Open University abroad.

Are there any facilities for students with special needs (disability, chronic illness)?
