OffCourse

What OffCourse does

OffCourse is a Dutch private training and development company headquartered in Nieuwegein with a dedicated training facility in Driebergen, operating as part of paraDIGMA groep, a group focused on Sustainable Employability. The company delivers behavioral development, leadership, and absence management training to HR professionals, managers, and Dutch organizations, using a proprietary HBM (Human Being Management) philosophy centered on behavioral mirroring. Its core commercial asset is the Reflact\u00a9 methodology, a registered trademark that combines a 12\u201315 minute image-based online measurement with a structured feedback session led by a certified trainer, designed to surface unconscious behavioral patterns and natural talents.

The product portfolio spans professional certifications (Reflact\u00a9 Basis, Verdieping, Team, Burn-out, and Young) priced between EUR 750 and EUR 2,995, short workshops on communication styles, resistance, and behavioral change, a multi-module 6\u201312 month Leiderschapsprogramma, e-learning modules, and confidential-advisor (Vertrouwenspersoon) services. Delivery occurs either on-site at client locations or as open-enrollment sessions at the Driebergen academy, with enterprise programs quoted bespoke. The January 2026 merger with myHBMcenter consolidated Reflact\u00a9 product development and accreditation processes under OffCourse, and the company has signaled a strategic pivot from ad-hoc training toward multi-month development lines and learning trajectories. One named enterprise reference is Vermaat, where 120+ hospitality managers have been trained across multiple cohorts.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• myHBMcentercoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2026Effective January 1, 2026, myHBMcenter and OffCourse officially merged their forces. myHBMcenter focused on product development and accreditation processes around Reflact©. The merger combined this expertise with OffCourse's training and workshop services under one organization. The HBM philosophy (Human Being Management) remains the foundation. This is not a traditional partnership but a merger of two complementary organizations.
