What ondernemersschool bv does

Ondernemersschool BV is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Breda, Netherlands, operating the Centrum voor Afstandsonderwijs brand to deliver adult vocational education across Belgium and the Netherlands. The institution offers more than 350 courses spanning beauty and wellness, business and entrepreneurship, ICT, healthcare, coaching, languages, and personal development, delivered through three study modalities: Thuisstudies (self-paced distance learning with physical materials and 5-year exam windows), Virtual Classes (live interactive group lessons via Zoom), and Groepslessen (in-person classes at approximately 80 campus locations across Flemish cities including Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Hasselt, Bruges, and Turnhout).

The technology backbone is the proprietary eCampus learning management system, which hosts student profiles, course materials, exercises, documents, video content, and direct instructor communication; it is accessible via web and native iOS/Android mobile applications and is hosted on infrastructure in the Netherlands. The platform integrates an online examination system with remote proctoring via webcam and microphone, multiple-choice questions with negative marking, instant results, and unlimited free retakes every 30 days.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time individual course fees ranging €139 to €1,290+ with installment plans (2-5 terms), the 'All You Can Study' annual subscription offering unlimited access across up to three concurrent courses at €495-€2,890 per year, and customized B2B corporate training delivered in-company. Distribution combines self-serve online enrollment through the eCampus platform, virtual classrooms accessible globally, and the dense physical campus network, with acquisition supported by online info sessions, open days, newsletter, and Facebook presence. Customer segments include adult career-changers, secondary-education seekers, corporate training buyers, and aspiring entrepreneurs, with CRKBO quality certification underpinning the regulatory position.
