Onderwijs Academie

What Onderwijs Academie does

Onderwijs Academie is a Netherlands-based private company founded in 2022 that delivers professional development solutions to the Dutch education sector. The company operates from offices in Almelo and Gouda and serves primary/secondary schools, vocational (MBO/ROC) institutions, educational consortiums, and childcare providers. Its core offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture: OA Leerplatform is a custom-branded learning management system integrated with clients' existing HR systems, OA Huisacademie is an implementation service that turns that platform into a fully configured internal knowledge center with reporting, certificates, and evidence management, and OA Leeraanbod is an in-house-produced content catalog covering didactics, pedagogy, ICT skills, leadership, and personal development. A fourth module, OA DISC-Methode, delivers DISC-based team and leadership training.

The business model combines recurring per-employee SaaS licensing with classroom training delivery and packaged team interventions. Subscription pricing is published and tiered by organization size, ranging from €89 per employee per year for the smallest segment (50–100 employees on a 1-year term) down to €49 per employee per year for 501–1,000 employees, with multi-year discounts available. Classroom training is priced at €1,099 per group per half-day session, and the DISC package is a flat €5,454 for 12 participants plus a manager; most classroom training is VAT-exempt. Sales are conducted directly via phone, email, and on-platform demonstrations, with no channel partners disclosed. Customers include ROC Mondriaan, Zadkine, Hoornbeeck College, ROC van Twente, BOOR, Scalda, Sophia Scholen, and 28+ other Dutch educational institutions.

The company has no disclosed external funding, parent organization, or subsidiaries, and operates as an independent SME. Its go-to-market is sales-led with content marketing and LinkedIn as primary awareness channels, and it positions its differentiators as custom configurability, HR-system integration, an in-house content studio, and a multi-school knowledge-sharing network.
