Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ROC van Amsterdam: One of the largest publicly funded MBO providers in the Netherlands, based in Amsterdam. Comparable as a multi-city ROC offering BOL/BBL and adult education, but operating at significantly larger scale and in a metropolitan context.
• ROC Midden Nederland (MBO Utrecht): Large regional training centre serving Utrecht and surrounding provinces. Comparable as a publicly funded multi-domain ROC offering BOL/BBL tracks at levels 1-4, but with broader geographic scope than Landstede.

Direct peers

• Yuverta: MBO school with strong focus on green/agro (Groen & Dier) and lifestyle/health programs, comparable to Landstede's14-domain portfolio structure and BBL/BOL dual-track delivery across multiple campus locations.
• Summa College: Large multi-city MBO institution in the Eindhoven / Brabant region. Operates a comparable full-spectrum vocational portfolio (health, technology, hospitality, media) with strong employer partnerships — a relevant peer for Landstede's 14-domain 'Landschappen' model.
• Aventus: MBO institution in the Veluwe/Stedendriehoek region; partner with Landstede in extending the HTV internship-at-COA model to other regions. Comparable vocational curriculum structure and BOL/BBL tracks.
• Mbo Menso Alting: Regional MBO school in Zwolle area; partner with Landstede on the Namibia international project and on the Mhbo Managementtraject. Directly comparable as a multi-domain vocational institution serving the same Overijssel student population.
• Curio: Multi-location MBO institution in West-Brabant, formed from a recent merger. Comparable in operating multi-city campuses with a domain-based ('Landschappen'-style) portfolio and strong regional employer integration.
• Deltion College: Major MBO institution based in Zwolle, co-developing multiple flagship programs with Landstede (Mhbo Managementtraject, firefighting keuzedeel, HTV/COA expansion). Operates a similar full-portfolio vocational model in the same Overijssel region, making it the closest head-to-head competitor.
• Albeda: Rotterdam-based MBO institution offering a similarly broad vocational landscape across technology, care, hospitality, and services. Comparable in size and curriculum breadth to Landstede's Zwolle/Harderwijk operation.

Others

• Hogeschool Windesheim: Adjacent higher-education partner of Landstede (co-developing Familiebedrijf keuzedeel and Mhbo Managementtraject). Not a direct competitor but a critical vertical-bridge partner whose research outputs feed Landstede's mbo curriculum.
