Examenbureau Installatietechniek

What Examenbureau Installatietechniek does

ExamenBureau Installatietechniek B.V. (EBI) is a Dutch private limited company founded on May 2, 2016, and headquartered at Marie Curiestraat 45, 3846 BW Harderwijk. EBI is a CCV-recognized examination institute that issues CCV-verified diplomas for the Dutch installation industry, covering fire detection (BMI), evacuation alarm (OAI), security, sprinkler, residential sprinkler, foam extinguishing, and emergency lighting. The portfolio spans 15+ exam types across the full installer career pathway — from assistant fitter through engineer, work preparer, project leader, and assembly leader — with each exam aligned to specific CCV certification schemes and NEN/NEN-EN standards.

The company operates a digital examination platform featuring online registration, an in-company pricing calculator, and (since mid-2025) fully digital administration of open-question exams. Exams are delivered through three channels: the Harderwijk headquarters (Tuesday–Thursday plus by appointment), seven partner locations through 't Examenpark (Roosendaal, Drachten, Amsterdam, Breukelen, Zeist, Zwolle, Eindhoven), and on-site at customer locations for groups of 2+ candidates. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified (EBN Certification), holds KIWA validation under CCV-richtlijn Verificatie Diploma's, and is InstallQ-accredited for Noodverlichtingsdeskundige.

EBI's revenue model is transaction-based, charging one-time per-exam fees ranging from €35 to €550 depending on exam type and component (multiple choice, open questions, practical, project assignment), plus professional-services fees for in-company exams with travel costs and tiered discounts. Customers are individual installation professionals (self-service registration) and enterprise/training-provider clients (Strukton, Hacousto Group, AERTES Nederland, Alfa-college/DNA Next). Following the May 2024 dissolution of Stichting STEBS, EBI consolidated its market position through a partnership with Certoplan and Federatie Veilig Nederland (November 2024), a national distribution partnership with 't Examenpark (October 2025), and the resolution of the VEB diploma dispute (July 2025).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• KIWA: KIWA validates EBI's diploma issuance and CCV compliance via periodic audits and observance of exam administrations. While an enabling partner rather than competitor, KIWA's validation is the regulatory gate that defines EBI's right to issue diplomas.
• Stichting STEBS: Former Dutch exam institute for fire safety and security certifications that ceased operations in May 2024. Listed for context as the direct competitor from which EBI and Certoplan inherited share after withdrawal of its two exam centers.
• InstallQ: InstallQ is the Dutch accreditation body for installation professionals and accredits EBI's Noodverlichtingsdeskundige examination. As the standards-setter and certifier of installer qualifications, it is a key counterpart and indirectly determines EBI's exam-product acceptance market.
• Federatie Veilig Nederland (FVN): FVN is the Dutch federation for fire safety and security, working with EBI and Certoplan on industry exam content standardization. It functions as ecosystem coordinator rather than direct exam provider, but its policies directly determine EBI's addressable candidate base.

Direct peers

• Certoplan: Certoplan is the only other remaining CCV-recognized exam institute in the Netherlands following the liquidation of Stichting STEBS. Both EBI and Certoplan deliver exam services for fire safety, security, and installation certifications and are explicitly co-developing standards with FVN.
• 't Examenpark: 't Examenpark operates multi-location exam delivery infrastructure across the Netherlands (including energy performance exams). EBI partnered with 't Examenpark in 2025 to administer nearly all of its exams at 't Examenpark's 7 partner locations, making them both channel partner and adjacent peer in the same exam-delivery space.

Broad incumbents

• Prometric: Prometric is a global incumbent in test delivery and proctoring services across regulated industries. While not focused on Dutch installation certification, Prometric represents the broader competitive template for outsourced certification delivery that EBI operates within at a smaller national scale.

Emerging players

• Vakmanschap Noodverlichting: Vakmanschap Noodverlichting is a specialist platform for emergency lighting expertise (Noodverlichtingsdeskundige) exams that took over administration of EBI's emergency lighting exams in December 2024, offering self-assessment and exam booking directly. It overlaps with EBI in a specific diploma niche.
