You'll start with practical training from day one. You'll work within a company under the supervision of an instructor. This way, you'll learn all the tasks related to your future profession. In addition to these practical training sessions and classes at school, an internship is an important part of your program. It's where you'll gain even more insight into the profession.

You can broaden your interests through electives. Examples include: All-round swimming pool employee, Fitness Trainer A, and youth/junior football coach.

You can also complete the program in one year. To be eligible for this, you must meet certain progress requirements. Among other things, your level of Dutch and arithmetic, your professional attitude, and attendance are assessed. After the first period, it is determined whether you meet these progress requirements and whether you can complete the program at an accelerated pace. This gives you the opportunity to finish the program within one year.
