SignOn ICT Trainings

What SignOn ICT Trainings does

SignOn ICT Trainingen+ (legal name: SignOn ICT Trainingen & Diensten) is a Dutch instructor-led ICT training and education services provider founded in 2003 and headquartered at WTC Amsterdam on the Zuidas. The company delivers a unified training portfolio of more than 150 courses spanning Power BI (its flagship track), Microsoft Azure and Fabric, Microsoft 365 (Excel, Teams, Copilot), the Power Platform, cybersecurity and privacy (including GDPR/AVG, CEH, CISM, CISA, NIS2), IT service management frameworks (ITIL, PRINCE2, Scrum, BiSL, ASL), and broader IT professional tracks (AWS, Cisco, Python, SQL). Delivery modes include scheduled public classroom courses at seven Dutch venues (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Zwolle, Zoetermeer, Groningen), virtual classroom via Microsoft Teams, blended learning through the Studytube platform, and customized in-company programs delivered on client sites. Differentiators include post-course "Nazorgservice" support, Microsoft Partner Silver Data Analytics status, Cedeo customer-satisfaction certification, UWV recognition, and a 9.4/10 average participant rating across more than 1,000 reviews.

The business model is primarily transactional and project-based rather than subscription. Public classroom revenue comes from individual enrollment at fixed schedule pricing, while enterprise in-company revenue is quote-based and tailored to organizational curricula; additional streams include certification exam facilitation (Microsoft, Cisco, EC-Council) and complementary consultancy services. SignOn's customer base segments into three groups: individual working professionals seeking certification, Dutch enterprises (e.g., RIVM, Kamer van Koophandel, DELTA N.V., Martinair Cargo, Athora, Universiteit Maastricht) commissioning custom in-company training, and UWV-funded job seekers requiring re-integration training. The team consists of 20+ trainers, nearly all freelancers/ZZP'ers, with no fixed working-days requirement — a flexible cost structure that scales with course demand. Marketing is multi-channel: organic SEO on signon.nl, a knowledge bank and blog, email newsletters, social media (LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, X), event presence at Power BI Gebruikersdagen, and PR coverage including EditieNL.

Operationally the company has remained family-founded (Franklin Frijling is the founder; Eveline is co-owner), privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, and continuously active for 23 years. Recognition includes the "Beste Opleider van Nederland" award in both 2020 and 2023, positioning SignOn as one of the leading ICT training brands in the Netherlands. Financial figures (revenue, margins) are not publicly disclosed, and the company shows no evidence of public listing, M&A activity, or external venture/PE investment.
