DeZorgacademy

What DeZorgacademy does

De Zorgacademy (DeZorgacademy) is a Netherlands-based training and e-learning platform specializing in Dutch healthcare law (recht in de zorg). Its core offering is a structured 20-module curriculum covering the principal Dutch healthcare statutes and regulatory regimes, including the Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw), Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz), the social domain (Wmo, Jeugdwet), WGBO, Wkkgz, BIG, Wtza, Wmcz, governance and labor law topics specific to healthcare, and compulsory care frameworks (Wzd, Wvggz). The platform is delivered through a self-paced e-learning system (video, reading material, hyperlinks, quizzes, and certification upon passing assessments) and a five-day in-person program ('Opleiding Recht in de Zorg') held at The Lodge in Zeist, which reports an 8.9 average rating. Content is authored and taught exclusively by practicing healthcare attorneys from Eldermans|Geerts Advocaten, a specialized healthcare law firm founded in 1986 and based at the same Zeist address.

The business operates a hybrid sales model. Direct-to-consumer transactions dominate: individual e-learning modules are priced at €195 (one month of access), the full 20-module bundle at €2,495 (six months of access), and the five-day physical course at €2,995 (offered in spring and autumn). Bespoke in-company training is sold via a contact-based enterprise channel at pricing on request. Distribution is entirely domestic — Netherlands only — via the company webshop, email newsletter, LinkedIn, an affiliated Spotify podcast, and referrals from Eldermans|Geerts' law firm clients. The platform holds the NRTO Keurmerk, an independently audited quality mark covering transparency, service, and staff expertise, and several modules are accredited for Dutch bar (NOvA) professional development points (ADAP, KRTP).

Customer segments span legal counsels, general counsels, and lawyers specializing in healthcare; healthcare administrators and policy staff; healthcare institutions procuring in-company training; and professional associations and labor unions. Named enterprise and non-profit customers include BENU Apotheek, Brocacef, Amaris Zorggroep, Zorggroep Alliade, Stichting OOK Begeleiding, VZVZ, and CNV Vakmensen. The company is privately held, operates under KVK number 76673332, has no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, and shares physical premises and personnel with its parent/strategic partner Eldermans|Geerts Advocaten.
