Training and courses for professionals in didactics and education

Education is the foundation of our society and determines what tomorrow's world will look like. What kind of education professional do you want to be?

Education is constantly evolving. That is why (continuing) education for teachers and educationalists is essential. High-quality education requires not only expertise in terms of content, but also well-considered didactics. This way, every student can learn and grow optimally. The inclusive learning environment at VU for professionals invites reflection and growth, both as individuals and as a team. You can choose from various high-quality programmes, training courses and customised programmes that contribute to future-proof education for all, using the latest academic insights and best practices, tailored to your educational practice. We do this from the following three specialised departments:

  • VU Teacher Academy
    From becoming a qualified teacher to working on educational innovation and school development: the VU Teacher Academy is the right place for in-service training and professionalisation for (prospective) teachers, school trainers and teacher teams. Note: all programmes are taught in Dutch only.

  • VU-NT2 teacher training programmes and courses
    Do you want to become a teacher of Dutch as a second language? Or are you already working in education and want to strengthen your knowledge and competences as a teacher? We offer courses and training for teachers in NT2 adult education, ISK, po, vo and mbo.

  • VU Centre for Teaching & Learning
    As a teacher in a university of applied sciences or a university of applied sciences, you work continuously on practice-oriented, high-quality teaching and research. The VU Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL) can help you with this.
