CS Opleidingen BV

What CS Opleidingen BV does

CS Opleidingen BV is a Dutch vocational training and education company founded in 2009 that specializes in social security, employee absence management, and reintegration. It serves HR professionals, in-house absence/casemanagers, labor experts, and Dutch employers (including own-risk bearers, insurers, occupational health services, and government bodies such as Defensie), delivering accredited programs that qualify graduates for the Register Specialistisch Casemanagement (RSC) and prepare them to manage the Wet verbetering poortwachter process. The company claims to have trained over 7,000 professionals, with 95% of registered casemanagers in the Netherlands counted among its alumni.

The product portfolio centers on the Casemanager Regie op Verzuim (CROV) program and the Post-HBO Register Care- en Casemanager (RCCM), supported by a Basis Opleiding Casemanager, the Arbeidsdeskundige track with multiple specializations (Gemeente, AOV, Arbo, Letsel), risk management and task-delegation specializations, and a slate of masterclasses. Content is delivered through in-person courses at multiple Dutch venues (Nieuwegein, Arnhem, Papendrecht, Ede, Randwijk), an online learning portal (360.academy), and the VeReFi knowledge platform offering articles, calculators, document databases, and a professional community. All courses and exams carry independent Hobéon accreditation and NRTO membership. A published book, 'Regie op verzuim en arbeidsongeschiktheid' (Sept 2025, EUR 59 incl. VAT), extends the content franchise.

Revenue is generated through five streams: open-enrollment course fees, custom incompany training (delivered to clients such as Acture, AON, Arbo Unie, G4S, Robidus, and Defensie), examination and re-examination fees, VeReFi premium subscriptions (annual, auto-renewing), and publication sales. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct field sales for enterprise incompany deals, an online webshop for self-enrollment, and content marketing through SEO, newsletters, the VeReFi platform, an annual congress, and seasonal webinars. The company has 63 employees, is headquartered at Savannahweg 71, Utrecht, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Certify360 EdTech Group B.V. following its August 2025 integration; two add-on acquisitions, Scolea (Sept 2025) and IVA Opleidingen (Oct 2025), have expanded the portfolio.
