RINO Amsterdam

What RINO Amsterdam does

RINO Amsterdam is a Dutch post-academic training institution founded in 1987, specializing in continuing education and professional development for mental health (ggz), youth care (jeugd), and healthcare professionals. The organization is a non-listed private entity registered in the Netherlands and holds CRKBO registration (Centraal Register Kort Beroepsonderwijs), which confers VAT-exempt status and is the regulatory basis for its training market position. Its core offering is the BIG-opleidingen portfolio — formal multi-year postgraduate programs for GZ-psycholoog, Klinisch psycholoog, Psychotherapeut, and Orthopedagoog-Generalist — delivered with supervised practical placements at recognized clinical institutions. Around this credentialing core sits an open catalog of 236 short courses across 28+ treatment methods (CGT, EMDR, schematherapie, ACT, systemisch werken, psychodynamische therapie, etc.) and clinical specializations, accredited by all major Dutch professional mental health bodies, with 93 new courses added in the most recent catalog cycle.

The product portfolio is built on a traditional instructor-led education model rather than proprietary technology. Course delivery occurs in person at the Amsterdam facility (temporarily relocated to Symphony Offices at Gustav Mahlerplein 117 since May 4, 2026 due to building construction) and via online/e-learning components, supported by a Drupal-based website with an integrated profile and registration system (profiel.rino.nl). Recent additions include the Psyflix meets RINO Amsterdam collaboration for online video learning and a Uitgeverij Boom book club for member discounts. Course pricing ranges from €320 to €1,575 per seat for open enrollment; multi-year BIG-opleidingen tuition is not publicly disclosed. Adjacent member assets include the biannual BIG Magazine, the Luistert podcast series, the Uitgeverij Boom book club, and the BIG-Netwerkplein job board.

RINO Amsterdam generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) open enrollment courses sold as one-time registrations, (2) multi-year BIG-opleidingen subscriptions with supervised practical placements, and (3) incompany/maatwerk custom training delivered at client organizations. Customer segments span licensed mental health professionals (GZ-psychologen, klinisch psychologen, psychotherapeuten, orthopedagogen-generalist), primary care mental health practitioners (POH-GGZ), body-oriented and creative therapists, youth care professionals, and healthcare organizations. The go-to-market is sales-led, with no public funding or investor backing disclosed; all operations are domestic (Netherlands) and conducted in Dutch. The organization has received Cedeo customer satisfaction ratings of 9.4 (webinar) and 9.8 (incompany).

Others

• Uitgeverij Boom: Major Dutch publisher of psychology and psychiatry professional literature and existing RINO book club partner; adjacent ecosystem participant supporting the same professional learning journey through complementary content.
• NVP (Nederlandse Vereniging van Psychotherapie): Dutch professional association for psychotherapists that provides accreditation, training standards, and continuing education; ecosystem participant that influences RINO's accreditation-driven course demand.

Broad incumbents

• NIP (Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen): Dutch professional association for psychologists offering continuing education, accreditation oversight, and member services; broad incumbent in the same professional ecosystem with overlapping education and training offerings.
• Erasmus MC Academie: Academic medical center's continuing education division providing postgraduate training for healthcare and mental health professionals; broader portfolio but serves overlapping professional development needs in the Dutch clinical workforce.

Direct peers

• Spring Opleidingen: Dutch training provider for mental health, youth care, and healthcare professionals offering courses and postgraduate programs; comparable target segments (GGZ/jeugd) and accreditation-driven value proposition.
• Trimbos-instituut: Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction, combining research, knowledge dissemination, and training for mental health professionals; overlaps with RINO in workforce education and evidence-based treatment method training.
• RINO Zuid: Sister RINO institution (RINO Group) in Maastricht providing post-academic mental health training and BIG-opleidingen to Dutch professionals in the southern region; closest direct competitor with overlapping course catalog and target audience.
• PPO (Postacademisch Platform Opleiding): Dutch post-academic training platform for psychologists and psychotherapists offering accredited continuing education and specialisation tracks; directly comparable in audience (licensed mental health professionals) and course-based delivery model.

Emerging players

• Ivonne Pijl Opleidingen: Dutch training provider focused on trauma, EMDR, and body-oriented psychotherapy courses for mental health professionals; narrower specialty overlap but competes for the same accreditation-driven course enrollment.
• Psyflix: Dutch online video-based learning platform for mental health professionals; existing RINO partnership indicates technology-side overlap, and Psyflix represents the digital-native delivery model that could pressure traditional course formats.
