Police screening
You will be screened by the police before you can start at your training company. The training company will then apply for a "green pass" from the chief of police. To obtain this pass, they will check whether you have committed any criminal offenses. They will then determine whether these offenses will block your pass application. Without a pass, you cannot complete the program.
The police will review your personal file for eight years. If you have lived in the Netherlands for less than eight years, you must be able to provide a document from your country of origin stating that you have not had any contact with the police or the judicial authorities there.
