The Organisation
The Dutch initials ROCvA stand for the "Amsterdam Regional Community College". We are a Foundation under Dutch law, established at the initiative of local and national government in 1997. The ROCvA covers Amsterdam and the nearby townships of Amstelveen, Hoofddorp and Hilversum.
Like Community Colleges in other countries we focus on vocational education and training for participants from the age of 12 and adults in our region. We are one of the largest Community Colleges in Europe with some 35,000 students and 3,500 part-time and full-time staff at about 60 locations.
Vocational training and education
Our offering comprises long-term and short-term courses in vocational education, apprenticeships and adult education. This includes customised courses for the private and non-profit sectors. We work closely with the business community to provide these courses across a wide range of specialities. Indeed, customisation and speciality are key words here. Quality training deserves quality facilities. This principle is reflected in our accommodations. These also reflect the meshing of theory and practice, which is at the heart of vocational training and education in the Netherlands.
Course options / levels
Our full-time college-based route combines study with hands-on training in the workplace. The part-time option is a work-based route - with part-time education and apprenticeship slotted together. The courses come in four levels (as defined by the Dutch Adult & Vocational Education Act and in line with European-SEDOC classification). Students at the highest level can go on to university/college equivalent studies.
