Medilex Onderwijs

What Medilex Onderwijs does

Medilex Onderwijs is a Dutch private company (Medilex Onderwijs BV) founded in 2006 and headquartered in Zeist, Utrecht. It operates as a professional development provider for the Dutch education sector, serving teachers, school leaders, and support staff across Primair Onderwijs (primary), Voortgezet Onderwijs (secondary), Middelbaar Beroepsonderwijs (vocational), and Hoger Onderwijs (higher education). The company markets itself as "Meesters in scholing!" and reports that more than 70,000 education professionals have attended its programmes, with average ratings of 8.16-9.20/10 across courses.

The core offering is a multi-format training catalogue: multi-day in-person courses (typically 3-10 days, priced €445-€1,995+ ex VAT), one-day congresses (€445 ex VAT), and a subscription-based e-learning platform with a Huisacademie (in-house academy) option for continuous professional development. Course content is delivered by vetted expert speakers — some with 3,000+ reviews — and supported by masterclasses in specialist topics (autism, diversity, gifted-student coaching), blogs and vlogs, and free utility tools (Onderwijs Salaris Check salary calculator, exam schedules, school holiday calendars). Underlying technology is an online learning management and event-registration platform, with distribution via the medilexonderwijs.nl website, email newsletter, and Facebook. No mobile apps, API endpoints, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) one-time course and congress fees with group discounts (every 5th participant free), (2) recurring e-learning and Huisacademie subscriptions, and (3) bespoke professional services (training, coaching, leadership programmes). GTM is event-driven and direct, with self-serve website booking supplemented by a seven-person congress-developer team for personalized conversion. Operations remain concentrated in the Netherlands, with multi-city event venues in Utrecht, Amersfoort, Woerden, and Soesterberg. Headcount is 25 employees.
