Strange SERP's descriptions
-
Hey,
when I googled one of our products i came up with this strange result, see attachment. I searched for: kurs praktische psychologie on google germany.
These words also come up in the meta description of this page:** Praktische Psychologie** Fernkurs mit professioneller Betreuung. Testen Sie den praxisorientierten Kurs über die Grundlagen der Psychologie 4 Wochen kostenlos.
and in the body: _Sie glauben der Mensch lässt sich trotz all seiner Facetten durchschauen, wenn man sich nur Mühe gibt ihn zu verstehen? Da liegen Sie vollkommen richtig! Der Kurs "Praktische Psychologie" vermittelt Ihnen hierfür alle Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten, sodass Sie schon bald das Mysterium Mensch ergründen. _
Why is Google still showing this description which i obviously don't want to be shown, and why does it state _spring naar (jump to) Kursgeburh _and how can i avoid this?

Unfortunately Google is not always using the meta description when showing your site in the SERP's - check this article: https://moz.com/blog/why-wont-google-use-my-meta-description. Basically in your case Google decided that the price of the training is more relevant than the content you provide in the meta description. Try rewriting your meta description - or just accept leave it like it is (if click rates are ok)
You might want to consider to translate the alt texts on your images - they're still in Dutch (which is also the reason why you see these Dutch words appearing in the snippet.
Also note that Google doesn't really like content which is "hidden" under tabs - https://www.seroundtable.com/google-hidden-tab-content-seo-19489.html - you can still use anchors - but it's better to show all the content upfront.
