Payment methods
At the Academy for Coaching and Counselling you can pay for your education in several ways.
As soon as you have registered for a training programme via our website, you will receive an e-mail from us containing a link to a questionnaire. In this questionnaire you can enter your payment preference. We will commence the invoicing process based on this preference. You will therefore not pay the tuition fees directly on our website during the registration process. We will send you a separate invoice by e-mail as soon as your registration has been finalised.
For an explanation of all payment/financing options, please read the information below.
Pay the full amount at once
You can pay the total amount for the training programme in one go. For this option, please select ‘pay the full amount at once’ in the questionnaire. After approval of your registration, you will receive an invoice for the full amount of the training programme.
For payment, you can transfer the amount into our bank account, or you can use iDEAL or Bancontact (by clicking on the payment link in the email).
Please note:
- Your spot in the group can only be guaranteed after at least one third of the invoice has been paid. If you wish to make a down-payment first, please use the description ‘down payment’ and the invoice number as a reference for your bank transfer.
- Only after full payment of the tuition fees, you will be entitled to start with the training programme.
Pay in 3 monthly instalments
You can pay the total amount for the training programme in up to 3 monthly instalments. For this option, please select ‘pay the full amount in 3 instalments’ in the questionnaire. You will receive the invoice for the first instalment immediately after approval of your registration.
Payment in 3 instalments is only possible up to 3 months before the start of the training programme. Should there be insufficient time left for payment in 3 instalments, we will automatically apply the maximum number of possible instalments (e.g. 2 instalments or payment at once). If your training programme is a two-year programme, you are allowed to pay the tuition fees per study year in 3 monthly instalments (as long as all fees per study year have been paid before that year commences).
For payment, you can transfer the amount into our bank account, or you can use iDEAL or Bancontact (by clicking on the payment link in the email).
Please note:
- Your spot in the group can only be guaranteed after at least one third of the total amount for the training programme has been paid.
- Only after full payment of the tuition fees, you will be entitled to start with the training programme.
Payment by employer
Certain employers have a specific budget for their staff’s education. Also, as part of a redundancy scheme there can be opportunities to get reimbursed for education. It could be worth checking whether your employer is willing to pay for your training programme and how much budget is still available for you this year (sometimes a training budget expires if you do not use it within a certain period of time).
In our questionnaire, you can choose the option ‘payment by employer’. You can then enter your employer’s details, so we can send the invoice to the right person.
If you would like to discuss how our training programmes can contribute to your (work-)situation, please feel free to contact us.
Please note:
- For employers (B2B), it is only possible to pay the tuition fees at once.
- Only after full payment of the tuition fees, you will be entitled to start with the training programme.
- For all student registrations that are paid by an employer, our corporate terms and conditions (B2B) apply.
Paying as an entrepreneur
Are you self-employed and would you like to have the invoice made out to your company? Please select the option pay the full amount at once or pay the full amount in 3 instalments in our questionnaire and enter your ‘company name’.
For payment, you can transfer the amount into our bank account, or you can use iDEAL or Bancontact (by clicking on the payment link in the email).
As an entrepreneur (self-employed person with or without employees), it is possible under certain conditions to declare your educational costs as business expenses. You can also reclaim the VAT and the paid expenses on literature and other specific study materials from the Belastingdienst (Dutch Tax Department). Check the Belastingdienst website for the specific conditions (NB: page in Dutch).
Please note:
- Your spot in the group can only be guaranteed after at least one third of the invoice has been paid. If you wish to make a down-payment first, please use the description ‘down payment’ and the invoice number as a reference for your bank transfer.
- Only after full payment of the tuition fees, you will be entitled to start with the training programme.
Payment by UWV
The ACC is an official supplier with the UWV, which means that our training programmes are included in their ‘preferred supplier list’. Career coaches and reintegration advisers at the UWV can therefore purchase ACC training programmes for their clients.
Are you currently in a social benefit scheme, e.g. an unemployment benefit scheme, or a sick-leave benefit scheme, and could you be eligible for reschooling? Then ask the UWV what the possibilities are for you.
Does the UWV agree with you following a training programme at the ACC? Then register for the training programme of your choice via our website and select the option ‘payment by UWV’ in the questionnaire.
Please note:
- Once your registration is approved by us, we will send you a financial quote for the UWV, which you will forward to your UWV case manager.
- Once the quote has been approved by the UWV, we will finalise your registration for the training programme and will arrange payment of the tuition fees directly with the UWV.
Regional mobility teams
Under certain conditions, it is possible to get a training programme reimbursed through regional mobility teams (RMTs), an initiative of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment. Throughout the Netherlands, there are 35 regional mobility teams you can contact if you have lost your job/income, or if you are in danger of losing your job. The mobility teams help both people in social benefit schemes, as well as people who are not entitled to those schemes. They help people find (other) work free of charge. Assistance from regional mobility teams can also include funding for training programmes. It depends on your specific situation what kind of support you can get. On this page you can read more about RMTs and on this page you can find a mobility team near you (NB: pages in Dutch).
