Care and welfare assistant (bol)

As a healthcare and social care assistant, you'll have a job where no two days are the same! You'll help people who need support for whatever reason. Think of people with disabilities or elderly people who can no longer manage everything themselves due to declining health. You'll provide support with things like eating and drinking, personal care, and meaningful activities.

You'll start the first 10 weeks with 5 days of school and begin your internship in the 11th week. For the remainder of the program, you'll spend 2 days a week on internship and 3 days in school.

The Education and Examination Regulations (OER) of a course specify what you will be doing in which period, how much time is spent on this and an overview of the exams that will be taken. Find the OER for your course here.

Search by your Crebo number (see the box on the right of this page) to view the OER for the current academic year. This will give you a general idea of what's expected of you when you start the program. The OER for the upcoming academic year will be available in July.

The statutory tuition fee for the 2026-2027 school year is €1.511. Check DUO.nl for possible student financing.

You conclude each elective with an exam.
