- On location or remote
- Subsidy often possible
In a group
The usual way: you share the teacher with a few others and follow a fixed schedule.
- Fixed start date, fixed schedule
- Small group of fellow students
- Shared teacher
Individual
For anyone who prefers to work at their own pace.
- Start whenever you want
- Your own pace and planning
- Teacher just for you
- Personal guidance
Flexible payment
Payment options
Through your employer, with a voucher or in instalments: there's usually a way that works. Not sure which fits you? We're happy to think it through with you, free and without obligation.
Option 1
Through your employer
We can invoice your employer directly, with 30 days to pay. If it helps, we'll give you a training plan to discuss internally.
Option 2
With a government contribution
A UWV training voucher or a municipal voucher can cover (part of) the cost. We're on the approved lists, CRKBO-registered, and glad to help with the application.
Training with colleagues? Your employer may be able to use the SLIM subsidy; we're happy to do the application together.
Option 3
Paying yourself
Pay the full amount at once, or spread it: 3 or 5 instalments at no extra cost, or an interest-free loan through TechMeUp. You choose when you register.
