Expertisecentrum De Kracht

What Expertisecentrum De Kracht does

Expertisecentrum De Kracht is a Dutch educational expertise center headquartered at De Schans 135, Tilburg, that delivers coaching, training, advisory, and psychological diagnostics services to schools transitioning toward inclusive education. It operates as the in-house expertise division of Biezonderwijs, a foundation that runs nine schools in Tilburg and Goirle serving approximately 1,900 students aged 4–20 with around 600 professionals. The center serves primary, secondary, and MBO schools both within the Biezonderwijs network and externally across the North Brabant region, addressing learning difficulties, behavioral challenges, trauma, executive-function deficits, exam anxiety, and pedagogical skill gaps among educators.

The service portfolio comprises roughly thirty distinct training programs (including NLP, ACT, Explicit Direct Instruction 2.0, trauma-sensitive teaching, FLOW sustainable employability, and student-facing interventions such as Impulsregulatie and Faalangst), individual and team coaching (including video and live coaching), custom advisory hours, and psychodiagnostic research funded partly via the Jeugdwet (Youth Act). Proprietary frameworks include the 'Method for Executive Functions,' which uses a 'phone with 12 apps' metaphor to standardize language across schools. Distribution is direct and regional: on-site training at customer schools and office-based sessions at Tilburg, with a strategic partnership with Wij zijn KAS for psychodiagnostic referrals.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional: training fees range from €180 to €4,485 per cohort, coaching and advisory are billed as professional services, and psychodiagnostics are funded through Jeugdwet or private payment. The organization is non-profit and private, wholly owned by Biezonderwijs, with no external investors. Critically, recent statements from the director indicate that Expertisecentrum De Kracht is closing its doors, with the founding director departing concurrently, signaling a wind-down of the external expertise-center business unit.
