Frequently asked questions
Is the counseling call really free and without obligation?
Yes. The call takes about 30 minutes, costs nothing and you commit to nothing. You get honest advice, even if that advice is not to study with us right now.
Which program fits me: a course or a bootcamp?
If you want to master a specific skill, a short course of 1 to 6 weeks fits best. If you want to change careers, a bootcamp of 3 to 5 months makes more sense. In the counseling call we help you weigh the two.
Is the diploma officially recognized?
Yes. Our diploma program is officially classified at NLQF level 6, comparable to HBO bachelor level. We are also an NRTO and CRKBO accredited educator.
Can I study next to my job?
Yes. Our blended approach combines online modules at your own pace with scheduled live sessions, so studying fits around your work.
Do I need a technical background?
No. We have programs for every level, from complete beginners to experienced professionals. The study advisor helps you pick the right starting level.
Which financing options are there?
Several: support via UWV, your study budget through platforms like Studytube and Springest, an interest-free loan via TechMeUp, paying in installments, and municipal training vouchers.
