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.
