Upskill your team with accredited business education in Antwerp, Brussels and online

Practical, career-focused undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programs your people can follow while they work — on campus or fully online, delivered by a Qfor-certified, Flanders-registered training provider, with one dedicated coordinator for your account.

Flanders-based SMEs can recover a substantial part of the cost through the Flemish KMO-portefeuille subsidy scheme

CORPORATE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT

Education that pays back on the job

We help companies build capability where it counts — management, finance, marketing, operations and more — with programs designed around working professionals.

Accredited programs

Undergraduate, Graduate and Postgraduate tracks across core business disciplines, taught by practitioner faculty.

Built for working teams

Quarterly intakes at our Antwerp and Brussels campuses — or fully online — let your people learn without leaving their roles.

Immediate application

Case- and project-based learning means skills land back in your organisation from week one.

One named coordinator

Our B2B Education Coordinator owns your account end to end — enrolment, attendance records, invoicing and subsidy paperwork across every campus.

International outlook

A diverse, multi-campus environment that broadens your team’s perspective and network.

Verifiable digital certificates

Every participant receives a personalized digital certificate through Accredible, with a permanent verification link — shareable to LinkedIn, and simple to attach to a subsidy file.

INDEPENDENTLY CERTIFIED

We hold both certifications

Two different things, often confused. One is an independent quality certification. The other is what makes your company’s subsidy application possible. We hold both, under the same legal entity that delivers your programs and issues your invoice.

Qfor certificate

Qfor is an independent quality certification for training and advisory providers, awarded after external audit. Ours is held with scope opleiding (training) — covering the programs on this page.

Quality certification

KMO-portefeuille registration

We are a registered service provider (dienstverlener) under the Flemish KMO-portefeuille scheme, service number DV.O104194 — the registration that lets a Flanders-based SME claim the subsidy on our training.

Subsidy eligibility

FUNDING FOR FLANDERS-BASED SMES

The Flemish KMO-portefeuille subsidy scheme

If your company is a registered SME in Flanders, the Flemish government — through VLAIO — can co-finance the training of your own personnel with our institution. We are a registered service provider, so the process is straightforward.

What is eligible

Eligible activities are single courses, multiple courses, or customized programs. All courses may contribute to academic qualifications, in line with their respective requirements. These activities fall under the eligible “training” (opleiding) theme of the scheme.

SUBSIDY THEMES

Which theme does your training fall under?

When your company submits its application on the VLAIO platform, you select the theme the training belongs to. The scheme recognises eight future-focused themes under the training (opleiding) pillar — the pillar we are registered for. Below is what each theme covers, and where our programs typically sit.

Since 1 February 2026, the scheme’s separate advice (advies) pillar is limited to cybersecurity projects. That change does not affect training: all eight themes below remain open.

Do not assume this theme applies to our programs — verify against VLAIO’s list before selecting it.

YOUR SUBSIDY APPLICATION

How it works in five steps

From enrolling your employee to filing the certificate — what happens, in what order, and what we handle for you.

You have 14 days to apply

Your window is 14 calendar days, counted from the course or quarter start date. Miss it and the scheme requires us to refuse and report the application — the program fee then remains payable in the ordinary way, at the same price. It is the one deadline worth putting in the diary the moment you enrol.

1

Enrol your employee

Choose the program and campus — or online — and complete our sign-up form, stating the employee’s relationship to your company with a document evidencing it.

2

Apply within 14 days

Submit your application on the VLAIO platform, selecting the theme, no later than 14 calendar days after the course/quarter start date.

3

We verify before confirming

We check the relationship to your company, the theme, the course content and the amount against the scheme’s rules — before the application is confirmed, not after.

4

We invoice & deliver

You receive a compliant invoice (excl. VAT) and we deliver the training, recording attendance for each training day.

5

Get your certificate

Your employee receives a personalized digital certificate through Accredible, with a verification link for your subsidy file.

All program fees follow our public fee schedule and are quoted excluding VAT. The fee is identical whether or not the Flemish KMO-portefeuille subsidy scheme is used. Registration under the Flemish KMO-portefeuille subsidy scheme indicates approved service-provider status only; it is not a quality label, and does not imply any substantive assessment, endorsement or approval of our programs by VLAIO. The Qfor certificate referred to on this page is a separate, independently audited quality certification and is unrelated to VLAIO. Subsidy applications must be submitted within 14 calendar days of the course/quarter start date and may only be used for training delivered to personnel of the requesting company. Subsidy percentages, annual caps and eligible themes are set by VLAIO and may change; figures shown reflect the scheme as at August 2026.
