Threewise

What Threewise does

Threewise is a Dutch vocational education provider (Vakschool voor de zorg) founded in 2008 and headquartered in Rijswijk, Zuid Holland, with a secondary training location in Houten. The company delivers recognized MBO-level vocational training (Dutch qualifications at levels 1-3) and customized incompany programs exclusively to the healthcare sector, including hospitals, elderly care homes, VVT organizations, and individual healthcare professionals. Its curriculum spans MBO opleidingen (Helpende Zorg en Welzijn, Helpende Plus, Verzorgende IG, Voedingsassistent, Dieetkok in de Zorg, Verpleegtechnische handelingen, Werkbegeleider, ADL-assistent, Assistent Dagbesteding, Huiskamerbegeleider, Thuiszorg Assistent), standalone training courses (Gastvrijheid, Leidinggeven, Basisscholing medicatie, EHBO, Transfers met de tillift, Wet zorg en dwang), and a digital learning platform (My Monk / Knowledge Monk) that supports blended learning through a fixed skillslab at Rijswijk, a mobile skillslab for on-site employer delivery, and adaptive e-learning modules.

The underlying technology combines the proprietary My Monk e-learning platform with practical skillslab facilities, an LTI integration layer for connecting to client LMS systems (e.g., De Zorgcirkel), and a Personal Digital Learning Environment for individual learners and corporate members. Threewise's business model spans three revenue streams: (1) bespoke incompany training delivered on-site at healthcare organizations under multi-year contracts at quote-based pricing; (2) open enrollment MBO courses at the Rijswijk and Houten locations for individuals, career changers, and zzp'ers (e.g., EHBO at €650/participant); and (3) a subscription-based membership model (Lidmaatschap: Brons free, Zilver, Goud plus a bedrijfslidmaatschap for VVT organizations) launched in mid-2026, modeled on a "sportschoolmodel" (gym membership) framework that provides recurring access to e-learning, skillslab practice, coaching, and credential management including BIG registration and V&VN accreditation. Pricing for membership tiers and incompany programs is not publicly disclosed.

Threewise pursues a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market targeting HR managers, training coordinators, and facility managers at Dutch healthcare organizations, with a roster of named enterprise clients including Adrz, Gelre Ziekenhuizen, Rode Kruis Ziekenhuis, Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland, Ziekenhuis Amstelland, St. Antonius Ziekenhuis, De Zorgcirkel (4,500 employees), Florence, Savant Zorg, Sint Jozefoord, and HVP Zorg. The company has built strategic partnerships with SVO vakopleiding food (Dieetkok program and modular MBO development), Huuskes (Huuskes Academy for food and hospitality), ROC Mondriaan and Calibris Advies (WijkLeerbedrijf Den Haag welfare-to-work program), and Gemeente Den Haag, positioning itself as a specialized healthcare workforce development partner rather than a generalist vocational trainer.
