gevorderde

Gevorderde is a Dutch term used as both an adjective and a noun to denote a higher level of development, skill, or complexity. In everyday language it describes something that is more advanced than the standard or basic version, and it can refer to people, courses, settings, or practices.

In education, gevorderde is commonly used to label students, courses, or tracks that go beyond the basic curriculum. Examples include gevorderde leerlingen (advanced students), gevorderde cursussen (advanced courses), and gevorderde klassen (advanced classes). The expression signals a higher level of difficulty or required proficiency, and it often accompanies terms like niveau (level) or programma (program).

In professional, technical, and consumer contexts the word appears to describe advanced options, settings, or capabilities. Phrases such as instellingen voor gevorderden (advanced settings), gevorderde functies (advanced features), and gevorderde vaardigheden (advanced skills) are typical in manuals, software interfaces, and training materials. The usage tends to emphasize expertise, customization, or deeper functionality.

Related terms include geavanceerd and vergevorderd. Geavanceerd is a common synonym used especially for technology or products to convey sophistication, while gevorderd often highlights progression to a higher stage or level, particularly in education or user proficiency. The form gevorderde can function as a noun referring to an advanced person or group (de gevorderden) when discussing a cohort of advanced learners or professionals.
