Revenue model

1. Government-funded vocational education: Techniek College Rotterdam operates as a publicly funded MBO (Middelbaar Beroepsonderwijs) institution. The primary revenue comes from government funding (Ministerie van Onderwijs) allocated per student enrollment, supplemented by legally mandated tuition fees (lesgeld) paid by students aged 18+ to DUO, and course fees (cursusgeld) for BBL programs. Additional revenue is generated through professional development and training courses (LLO - Leven Lang Leren) for company employees, priced individually per program. As a collaboration college of Albeda and Zadkine, funding is channeled through its founding ROC organizations.
