From the beginning of 2022, adults in the Netherlands could apply for a STAP budget of up to 1.000 euros for training and development. Every 2 months there was a new period in which an application could be made for the start of a short or long study, training and/or e-learning.
Today, the Ministers of Social Affairs and the Minister of Education announced the decision to make the remaining application periods of 2023 available with a limited budget for a small group of study programmes.
What does this mean for me?
This means that the current STAP scheme has come to an end. Read more in the letter to parliament.
The STAP subsidy will disappear. The upcoming application round on July 3 will continue as usual, but with one considerably smaller budget than previously intended (20 million, instead of 34 million).
After that, the scheme will be phased out. For the rest of this year, the remaining budget will then only be spent on long-term (e.g. HBO) courses that are recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
In 2024, the STAP scheme will stop completely in its current form.
What does this mean?
Were you previously planning to start a self-study with a STAP subsidy? But haven't you started yet? Then now is your last chance!
The STEP training budget is a subsidy, which stands for Stsimulation Alabor market Pposition. With this budget, every citizen who qualifies for this can apply for a budget of € 1000 annually to educate himself. The scheme is proving very popular. On March 1, 2022, the very first period of the STAP budget was opened and within 3 days the budget of the first period was completely exhausted. But there is another chance in July 2023!

I just finished a 3-day Agile PM Fast track training in Utrecht with Orlando and it was wonderful.
Learning in a group through many real-life examples, games and discussions is as good it gets! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get certified in project management.
I took a successful course on Agile Foundation with Lagant. I was really happy how they supported my studies by making the material as colorful as possible with videos which I haven't seen on other platforms before. The use of the elearning dashboard is easy, you can go into discussions if necessary or you can also contact an expert if needed. The daily memo trainings are a super idea and the mock-up test was also very usefulI before my final exam. I would definitely recommend choosing them for your next course.
Training is easy to follow, diverse material when it comes to content. Just thought it was a shame that the split tests affect the goal percentage so much, since you can't recreate them. Nevertheless, it is very nice that the memo trainings can be made infinitely, it helps with consistent practice. Furthermore, the email contact is smooth and helpful.
I have taken the ITIL 4 Foundation, a Lagant online tutorial. Good structure of the course material, clear explanations and help and all at your own pace. Overall a top course!
I followed the AgilePM fundamentals and practitioner training led by Orlando HeijmerinkOrlando has guided us with inspiration through this course. My course mates also had a lot of work experience, together we discussed our practical experiences and challenges in the field of Agile and DSDM in a very pleasant way. Thank you!
Good explanation based on a presentation, exercises, videos, diagrams and practical examples. Doable in 2 days with your own commitment to homework and self-study. Good and clear system to support the self-study with a good practice environment with sufficient test questions.
Nice and clear e-learning environment. Practice for the exam with the ExamTrainer. I will definitely follow my next self-study at Lagant again!
Followed the PRINCE2 Foundation training online. Nice e-learning with videos and practice questions. Lagant was easily accessible for questions. I have experienced the possibility of doing a written exam on location at Lagant as very pleasant.

The STAP subsidy is aimed at private individuals, which is why we use the VAT-exempt price for STAP registrations. Because we offer an invoice without VAT, we are forced to charge a cost-effective correction of 8% on the investment price. So instead of 21% VAT on the investment price, you pay 8% VAT-free correction. More information.
Not started yet? take contact us.
It is not possible to apply for a STAP budget afterwards for a course that has already started.
After the education or training has been completed, we deliver a certificate of participation to the UWV. The UWV checks whether all obligations have been met and decides whether the STAP budget is definitively allocated.
The UWV states that you successfully complete a course or training if you:
If you do not comply with this obligation, the subsidy can be reclaimed in whole or in part. You can also be excluded from further access to a grant application for a maximum of two years. Therefore, contact us and/or UWV in good time if you notice that you cannot meet the conditions.
