School Of Data Science

What School Of Data Science does

School of Data Science is a Dutch professional training provider specializing in instructor-led data science, IT, and AI/ML education. The catalog spans foundational data literacy through to advanced Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Excel, Azure AI/ML, ChatGPT, Copilot and n8n workflow automation, with class sizes capped at 7-8 participants. Delivery spans 8+ Dutch cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Haag, Eindhoven and others), a live online channel, and bespoke in-company engagements. The firm holds the NRTO Keurmerk certification and was recognized as Beste Opleider van Nederland in 2022, with a 9.8/10 Springest rating across more than 430 reviews.

The customer base is split across three segments. Individual professionals and career-switchers enroll via public open courses priced between €395 and €1,665, often using Dutch government subsidies (STAP, UWV, Haaglanden Leert Door). Corporate clients receive tailored in-company training; named logos include BMW, KPN, Capgemini, Achmea, T-Mobile, Zilveren Kruis, Galapagos, Volksbank, BinckBank and Gemeente Den Haag. Public-sector clients are served through municipality-level programs such as Haaglanden Leert Door. Trainers are practicing data professionals sourced from industry rather than tenured academics, positioning the offering around applied, vendor-aligned curricula rather than degree-granting education.

Revenue mechanics combine per-seat open-enrollment fees, custom-priced corporate training contracts, and government-subsidized voucher enrollment. The model is operationally lean: a roughly 10-trainer bench backed by a small administrative team, with course content refreshed as new AI tooling (Copilot, ChatGPT, Azure AI, n8n) emerges. The business does not disclose financials; pricing density, enterprise logo depth and subsidy-channel exposure together suggest a mid-single-digit-million-euro SME rather than a scaled training platform.
