EVC Nederland

What EVC Nederland does

EVC Nederland is a Dutch assessment and credential-validation services company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hilversum. Operating as a subsidiary of Salta Group, a Dutch education organization, the company specializes in Erkenning Verworven Competenties (EVC) — Recognition of Prior Learning — procedures that formally document and validate work experience, knowledge, and competencies. Its core technology is the EVC Tool (mijn.evctool.nl), an online platform for managing EVC procedures and tracking the Ervaringscertificaat (Certificate of Experience) process, complemented by online psychological assessments reviewed by NIP-registered assessment psychologists and a Digital Skillspaspoort for documenting competencies as an alternative to traditional diplomas.

The company's product portfolio spans EVC-procedures/trajecten leading to the Ervaringscertificaat credential, five assessment categories (Coaching, Loopbaankeuze, Selectie, Talent Development, Teams), a Quickscan entry-point tool for individuals and employers, and the Digitaal Skillspaspoort digital credential. Coverage extends across at least seven occupational verticals including zorg/welzijn, kinderopvang, onderhoudstechniek, social work, procestechniek, onderwijs, and autotechniek, plus branchestandaarden credentials such as Startbekwame Pedagogisch Medewerker and APK-keurmeester.

The business operates on a pay-as-you-go, freemium-anchored model — free telephone advisory conversations and a free Quickscan form the top of funnel, with paid EVC procedures, assessments, and Skillspaspoort enrollments downstream. Distribution is entirely single-country (Netherlands) and runs through the company website (evc-nederland.nl and mijn.evctool.nl), telephone and email sales, and physical consultation at the Hilversum office. Customers split across three segments — individuals seeking career development and exemption-bearing education routes (primary), employers and organizations focused on retention and workforce development (primary), and detacheringsbureaus/staffing agencies seeking candidate assessment (secondary) — with Salta Group affiliation enabling integrated development routes across partner educational providers.
