VOORWOORD
De Brusselse zorgsector biedt veel tewerkstellingsmogelijkheden. Mensen met
een hart voor de zorgsector kunnen er terecht, of het nu gaat om werkzoekenden, mensen die van carrière willen switchen of laatbloeiers.
In deze oriëntatiegids heeft het Huis voor Gezondheid in samenwerking met
partners binnen de Brusselse social-profit inschakelingssector Nederlandstalige
zorgopleidingen in Brussel en ondersteunende informatie samengebracht. Deze
gids heeft de bedoeling om bovengenoemde doelgroepen te helpen in hun
zoektocht naar een geschikte Nederlandstalige zorgopleiding. Desalniettemin
willen wij met deze publicatie ook geïnteresseerden aanspreken die een andere
moedertaal hebben dan het Nederlands. De aanwezigheid van meertalige zorgverleners wordt juist extra gewaardeerd vanwege de multiculturele populatie
van de Brusselse patiënten.
Deze gids richt zich in tweede instantie ook op consulenten, trajectbegeleiders
en ondersteuners die persoonlijke begeleiding bieden bij het oriëntatieproces
van hun cliënteel richting zorgopleidingen en zorgwerkveld.
Digitale versies van deze oriëntatiegids zijn raadpleegbaar via de websites

http://www.schakelsnaarwerk.be/nl/nog-meer-opleidingsinformatie.
Deze oriëntatiegids zou niet tot stand zijn gekomen zonder de collegiale samenwerking met partners in de social-profit inschakelingssector. Onze dank gaat in
het bijzonder uit naar Tracé Brussel, Vivo, VDAB Brussel, Groep Intro, RIC Foyer,
Actiris, Huis van het Nederlands Brussel, Naric Vlaanderen, het Minderhedenforum en Brucovo.
Naast deze Nederlandstalige versie is deze publicatie ook in het Frans en

FOREWORD
The health care sector in Brussels offers many employment openings. There
are opportunities for anyone with a heart for the care sector, whether they are
jobseekers, people looking to switch careers, or late bloomers. In this guide, Huis
voor Gezondheid and partners in the Brussels social-profit training sector have
listed all the types of Dutch-language care training available in Brussels. The
purpose of this guide is to help those in the aforesaid groups in their search for
a suitable Dutch-language care course. We are also keen to use this publication
to address people who are interested but are not native speakers of Dutch. The
presence of multilingual care providers is particularly valued, given the multicultural population of patients in Brussels.
In the second place, this guide is intended for career or employment counsellors, advisors and case workers providing individual support to clients who
might be interested in care courses and employment in a care profession.
Digital versions of this guide can be consluted on the websites www.huisvoorgezondheid.be/student/2de-carriere and http://www.schakelsnaarwerk.be/

of partners in the social-profit training sector. Particular thanks are due to Tracé

House Brussels, Naric Vlaanderen, the Minderhedenforum and Brucovo.
The guide is available in Dutch, French and English.

AVANT-PROPOS
Le secteur bruxellois des soins propose une multitude de possibilités d’emploi.
De What satisfaire tous ceux qui se sentent attirés par le secteur: les chercheurs
d’emploi, mais aussi les personnes qui veulent se reconvertir/réorienter ou celles
avec des ‘vocations tardives’.
Grâce à la coopération des partenaires du secteur non marchand bruxellois de
la réinsertion sociale, Huis voor Gezondheid a réuni ici toutes les organisations
néerlandophones à Bruxelles qui organisent des formations dans le domaine des
soins. L’objectif de ce guide est d’aider les groupes-cibles mentionnés ci-dessus
dans leur recherche d’une formation de soins en néerlandais appropriée. Notre
publication veut aussi sensibiliser les personnes intéressées, dont la langue
maternelle n’est pas le néerlandais. Vu la population multiculturelle du groupe
de patients bruxellois, la présence de prestataires de soins plurilingues y est
même particulièrement appréciée.
Ce guide s’adresse en seconde instance aux conseillers, accompagnateurs de
parcours et autres soutiens qui offrent une assistance personnelle au cours du
processus qui oriente leur clientèle vers les formations de soins et le travail sur
le terrain.
Les versions digitales de ce guide d’orientation peuvent être consultées via les sites
www.huisvoorgezondheid.be/student/2de-carriere et
http://www.schakelsnaarwerk.be/nl/nog-meer-opleidingsinformatie.
Ce guide d’orientation n’aurait pas vu le jour sans la coopération collégiale des
partenaires du secteur non marchand de la réinsertion sociale. Nous tenons à
remercier ici tout spécialement Tracé Brussel, Vivo, VDAB Brussel, Groep Intro,
RIC Foyer, Actiris, La Maison du Néerlandais Bruxelles, le Minderhedenforum,
Brucovo et Naric Vlaanderen.

INLEIDING
INTRODUCTION
In the Brussels Capital Region there are many job opportunities in the care
sector. Caregivers who can also speak Dutch are in high demand. There are
a number of different Dutch-language training courses for the care sector in
Brussels. However, not everyone knows just how much is on offer. The purpose
of this publication is to inform those in Brussels who are interested and their
career councillors about the variety of care training courses and their support
networks. This publication is primarily intended for people who cannot move
directly from secondary education into a care training course. We focus on
people who opt for a future in care as adults. Our particular concern, given that
Brussels is a multicultural society, is with multilingual people.
Caregivers are in great demand, besides the many other reasons to choose a
career in the care sector. For example, you can easily find work both in Belgium
and abroad, you cooperate extensively with your co-workers, and customers
and patients will appreciate your work. Often, you will have a flexible work
schedule and opportunities for promotion. Finally, you earn a good salary and
experience varied work.
This publication is part of the Flemish campaign ‘A job in care: I’m going for
it’. This campaign is to promote the care sector to everyone considering an
education or career in care. More information about the campaign is available
at www.ikgaervoor.be. The Website contains information about Flemish care
training courses, informative clips and search engines to help you find the right
career or training course. Caregivers, employers and consultants can download
tools from the professional section of the site, www.ikgaervoor.be/pro to
promote the campaign themselves.
12 Oriëntatiegids
Chapter 1 presents information regarding personal guidance while looking for a
care training programme. You can visit Brussels care training programmes to see
if a career in care suits you. In chapter 2 we will present information regarding
support while learning Dutch. In chapter 3 you will find information regarding
financial support and scholarships. Chapter 4 covers childcare. The fifth chapter
is about combining work and study. In chapter 6 you will find information
regarding equivalence foreign qualifications and the recognition of current
competence. In chapter 7 there is an overview of several Dutch-language
care training programsme and work experience projects in Brussels. We also
provide information about the course components, fees, exemptions policy and
flexibility of each course.
There is also a version of this brochure in French and Dutch.
Happy reading!

Do you really want to know if a job in healthcare suits you? Register for one of
our free opportunities for experience.
What is an opportunity for experience?
An opportunity for experience gives you the chance to experience for yourself
what work in the care sector is like and to discover whether it suits you. We will
discuss what kind of care facility you would like to work at, and whether your
Dutch knowledge is sufficient for your preferred opportunity for experience.
Some opportunities for experience require a specific level of Dutch knowledge.
This depends on the workplace. When you know which care facility you want to
work in, if your knowledge of Dutch is sufficient, we will make an appointment
for your opportunity for experience.
If none of the opportunities listed quite fits your criteria, you can email the
House for Health (Huis voor Gezondheid) at this email address: [email protected]. The House for Health will then make inquiries to see if a
suitable opportunity for experience can be found.
Visit www.ikgaervoor.be to see opportunities for experience-based lessons and

You can take a VDAB vocational course if you have already achieved a basic
level of Dutch. If you have not yet achieved the Starting level of Dutch, the
VDAB or one of its partners will organize an appropriate language course. The
following programmes can function as a preparation for vocational training in
the care sector:
• Dutch as a Second Language Preparatory Course for Social Profit (with CBE
Brusselleer);
• ZorgkabiNED within the preparatory course VOSPA (the Social Profit preparatory route for Dutch as a second language);
• Hogerop, for people with a tertiary education with a good grasp of Dutch.
Dutch as a Second Language Preparatory Course for Social Profit – CBE
Brusselleer.
This course is intended for jobseekers who need to learn more Dutch before
they can start the Social Profit course with the VDAB. CBE Brusselleer supports
the transition to the VDAB module: the students are offered the module ‘leren
leren’ during the Social Profit course. For information on the VDAB Social Profit
preparatory courses, see section 7.2. The course takes 18 weeks, with 3 hours per
day.

ZorgkabiNED
ZorgkabiNED is a series of Dutch lessons for jobseekers with a basic knowledge
of Dutch. The lessons are provided as part of the VOSPA preparatory course for
non-native speakers in the social profit sector, but can also be taken independently, without following the full VOSPA course.
VOSPA is directed towards employment in the social sector and consists of two
parts:
Social profit component:
• concrete explanations about the various careers and courses in the social
profit sector, emphasizing experience;
• preparation of work placement;
• lessons in communication and assertiveness;
• 'Learning to learn': developing study skills;
• intercultural skills: dealing with diversity.
Dutch as a foreign language component, ZorgkabiNED:
• intensive introduction to Dutch through group lessons and individual language tasks;
• The Dutch component is attuned to the language requirements of the
chosen course or job in the social profit sector.
The VOSPA programme takes 5.5 months, 5 days a week (not on Wednesday
afternoons). The lessons take place in the classrooms of the VDAB, Wetstraat
95, 1040 Etterbeek.
The course is free. There is a Dutch language test before registration.
The Vospa preparatory course starts twice a year (in August and in February).

Dutch for those with higher education: ‘Hogerop’
The Hogerop course specifically provides Dutch for the occupation in which
you are already qualified, and the sector in which you are looking for work.
Content:
• Professional Dutch. You will learn subject-specific words that you can use in
your future career context. A few examples of tasks you will learn to perform:
handling complaints, giving a presentation, speed-reading a text, taking part in
a meeting, leading a meeting, negotiating, writing letters and emails.
• Parallel with the Dutch lessons there is intensive, individually tailored training
in applying for jobs.
• Those with little work experience in Belgium can undertake a six-week work
placement.
The course lasts about 2 months, 4 days a week (not on Wednesdays). Classes
take place in the VDAB offices, Wetstraat 95, 1040 Etterbeek.
You will be given a language test before enrolment.
Your prior education will also be considered.
A new series of classes starts about 3 times per year.

vrijstelling-vermindering-van-inschrijvingsgeld-het-volwassenenonderwijs
Training vouchers for those at work
If you have a job and want to take a course to improve your future employment
prospects you can apply for training vouchers (opleidingscheques). These will
pay for half of your course.
The conditions and the procedure are outlined here: www.vdab.be/opleidingscheques/werknemers.shtml
Courses that can be paid for with training vouchers are listed here: www.vdab.
be/opleidingscheques/lijstopleidingen.shtml
If you are combining work with training in the health care sector then read
chapter 5 below (Project 600, Project 360, Project 3030).
Grants for Higher Education
Studying can be expensive. The Flemish government wants everybody
to have access to higher education. This is why it provides student grants
(studietoelagen). To be eligible for a grant you have to meet certain requirements. These requirements relate to your nationality, your income, the institution where you want to study and the subject you choose.
Nationality
To obtain a student grant you must either be a Belgian or be in the process of
becoming a Belgian. If you are not Belgian, your parents must have lived and
worked in Belgium for some time.
Income
Whether you are eligible for a student grant also depends on your income. This
includes wages, but also benefits, alimony, and other forms of income. The value
of any property you own may also be taken into account.
Type of institution and studies
The school and the course that you choose also have a bearing on your eligibility for a grant. You must:
• take a recognized course;
• study at an institution affiliated to the Flemish Community;
• take a course that leads to a qualification;
• have sufficient student grant credit (studietoelagekrediet).
For further information about eligibility for a student grant, phone the free number 1700 or visit this website: www.vlaanderen.be/nl/onderwijs-en-wetenschap/

KINDEROPVANG
DAYCARE FOR CHILDREN
If you are starting professional training and you have children you
will need to make timely arrangements for child daycare.
What should you be aware of when looking for daycare? What
sorts of daycare are available? And what steps do you need to
take to be able to access them? This chapter will answers these
questions. A number of useful addresses are provided at the end.
Daycare for children 53
4.1. ENKELE TIPS VOORAF BIJ HET VINDEN VAN KINDEROPVANG
SOME TIPS ON FINDING DAYCARE
Ask around
• First find out what different types of daycare are available.
• Ask questions and think about what is important for you and your child: Do
I want my child to be in Dutch-speaking or French-speaking care? Do I want
my child to be in a crèche or at a child-minder’s home?
• Visit a social worker if you are in a difficult situation or urgently need daycare.
• Visit the crèche or child minder you want to have care for your child.
• Places are limited. Ask whether family, friends or neighbours can help.
Start looking early
If you are looking for Dutch-language daycare you would do well to sign up to
the central register (see www.opgroeieninbrussel.be) or the crèche waiting list,
even if you have not yet found work or started a course. Waiting lists will often
take account of date of registration.
Stick to administrative agreements
• Follow the registration procedures.
• Keep a list of all the places that have you on their waiting list.
• Communicate changes to your circumstances (telephone number, address).
• Ensure any administrative paperwork is up to date.
Be flexible if necessary
• Most daycare places open up at the times of school entry. Take this into
account.
• Look not only near your home, but also along the routes to your work or your
studies.
• Consider half-time care, even if you need a full-time place. If a full-time place
opens up, you might be given priority.
Abide by the rules of the daycare facility
• Respect the internal rules regarding hours, required vaccinations, care days,
and so forth. If you do not, you risk losing the place.
• If any questions or problems arise, talk to the person in charge.
What are the eligibility criteria for Dutch-language daycare?
Your chances of access to Dutch-language daycare are higher if:
• one or both parents speaks Dutch;
• you are following an employment pathway (tewerkstellingstraject) or course
of study in Dutch;
• you already have children in Dutch-language education;
• you intend to register your child for Dutch-language education.
4.2. SOORTEN KINDEROPVANG
TYPES OF DAYCARE
As a parent you can choose between group care and family care. In group care,
children are cared for in groups of up to 14 children. A crèche is for children
between the ages of 3 months and 3 years old. A pre-nursery (peutertuin) is
for children aged between 18 months and 3 years old. Family care is provided at
home by a child-minder. A child-minder can care for up to 8 children at once.
A child-minder can take care of your child between the ages of 3 months and 3
years old.
What if you need to go to a job interview, or an information session, and you
urgently need temporary childcare?
If you need to go to a job interview or an information session you can get temporary childcare in an Actiris daycare centre (maximum 4 hours per day and 3
days per week). This care is both Dutch and French-language. Dutch-language
daycare centres might give priority to job seekers who are willing to apply for
jobs, take occupational training, or suddenly find work. If you wish to use these
services, get in touch with a daycare centre or sign up on the central register for
Dutch-language childcare. If you need help with your search, get in touch with a
social worker or employment advisor.
What if you are starting a course or have found work and urgently need
daycare for your child?
Job seekers who are taking an occupational training course (beroepsopleiding)
and urgently need daycare can be given priority. Sometimes only temporary
places can be provided. If you wish to make use of this, contact a daycare facility
or sign up to the central register for Dutch-language daycare. The Actiris daycare centre can also provide urgent care if you are starting a course.
You are in work or taking a course but have no daycare during school holidays
Some schools work with an after-school care provider (initiatief voor
buitenschoolse opvang: IBO). Enquire at your child’s school. During school
holidays there are also activities provided for children over the age of 3 (playgrounds, sport camps, and suchlike). You can find the range of options in the
sport guide (sportgids) and the holiday guide (vakantiegids) of the Flemish
Community Commission (Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie – VGC) or on
the website www.brusselbazaar.be
You are in work or taking a course and your child falls sick
Because it is not always possible to stay at home with a sick child, grandparents
or other relatives will often be asked to mind the child. There are also formalized
options for sick children. First enquire at your usual daycare provider. Some
crèches and services for child-minders organize home care for sick children.
An assistant will than come to the house to care for the child. Home daycare
for sick children can also be provided by a mutual health-insurance scheme
(mutualiteit) or by the local authorities (gemeente) and social welfare services
(OCMW). For further information contact your ‘mutuality’.

This chapter will explain how to combine working with studying.
This chapter is not meant for job seekers, but for those already in
work who want to increase their skills and knowledge by taking a
course. In such a situation no financial support can be expected
from the VDAB.
There are a number of possibilities for taking a course while
working in the care or welfare sector. It is possible, for example,
for a logistics support worker to become a healthcare assistant,
and for a healthcare assistant or a nursing auxiliary to become a
registered nurse. Projects such as Project 600, Project 360, Project
3030, VIA vorming hogerop! and Succes met je studies provide
such opportunities. In section 5.1 you will find more information
about this. In section 2 you will find other aids that will make it
easier to combine working and studying. Topics covered include
‘paid educational leave’, ‘training vouchers for employees’, ‘time
credit’, student grants, part-time studies and distance learning.

Your course will last no more than three years.
What financial and practical advantages does the project offer?
• The employee retains his or her basic salary.
• The employee has the right to be absent from the workplace during the academic year (from the beginning of the academic year to 30 June).
• The employee continues to build up seniority (anciënniteit) during the
course of studies.

Nursing Training Project: Project 360 – Op stap naar Verpleegkunde
The social foundations for private hospitals and for the care of the elderly
(Sociaal Fonds voor de Privé-ziekenhuizen; Sociaal Fonds Ouderenzorg) regard
the shortage of registered nurses in private hospitals and in the care of the
elderly as a priority. Accordingly, both Foundations use some of their funds each
year to encourage employees from their respective sectors to obtain a Nursing
diploma.
A testimonial about this project in the care of the elderly can be viewed at www.
youtube.com/watch?v=GwKXlAm96eQ
What is the project’s target group?
This project is intended for:
• employees in non-public residential care homes (whether in the charitable or
the commercial sector) who wish to pursue studies that will lead to a Nursing
diploma;
• employees in private hospitals who, whatever their current position, wish to
pursue or complete studies that will lead to a Nursing diploma.
What are the requirements for taking part?
• You must be at least half-time employed with a permanent contract.
• You must have at least 9 months seniority in a PC 330 institution on
1 September 2013. Days worked as a substitute or on work placement do
not count towards seniority. Holiday jobs as a working student and work
undertaken in the framework of alternating study under an employee learning
contract do count.
• You must be entitled to educational leave (www.werk.belgie.be).
• You may not make use of the IFG project (project 600).
Supplementary requirements for those providing care to the elderly:
• You may not hold a higher qualification (bachelor or master).
What courses can be followed through this project?

Nursing Support Training Project: Project 3030 –
word Verzorgende/Zorgkundige
In the family care sector Project 3030 has been running successfully for 5 years.
The purpose is to enable non-nursing staff employed in private-sector family
care to retrain as care assistants or nursing auxiliaries.
You can take part in the project if you have at least a half-time permanent contract with an employer in private sector family care (Paritair Comité 318.02).
What are the requirements to take part?
You must meet all of the following criteria:
• You have a minimum of 5 years seniority in your current home care service on
or before 1 June of the year in which you apply.
• You are employed on a permanent contract that provides at least half-time
employment.
• Up to the beginning of the course you are not involved in any procedure that
can lead to dismissal.
• You are not employed as a care assistant and do not hold a diploma that
qualifies you as a care assistant.
What course(s) can you take through the project?
You undertake to engage in a full-time daytime course that will qualify you as
a care assistant or nursing auxiliary. Once you have completed the course successfully you will be certified as a care assistant or nursing auxiliary. The VDAB
provides this certification. The VDAB recognizes and subsidizes these courses.
If you would like to know more about these courses and the institutions that
provide them, go to www.vvdg.be (the website of the association of family
care services Vereniging van diensten voor gezinszorg — VVDG) and click on
‘opleidingen’.
As a trainee care assistant you will do:
• 2 blocks of theory (in total about 5 months);
• 2 work placements (one in a residential care home, the other in your own
home care service, in total another 5 months).
You can then take a 4-week module in auxiliary nursing:
• 70 hours theory;
• 50 hours work placement.
What financial and practical advantages does the project provide?
• free training;
• travel expenses to the work placement;
• retention of salary;
• continued accrual of seniority;
• you keep your job with your current employer.
This project is coordinated by VSPF-Vorming jointly with VIVO vzw on behalf of
the Vormingsfonds voor de Diensten Gezinszorg van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap
and financed by the Fonds Sociale Maribel 318.02.

By means of this project, organizations representing both employees and
employers in the social sector provide opportunities for almost 50 people who
already work in the sector to take a supplementary occupational course. During
the course you retain your salary as an employee and your course expenses are
met. During the time that you are taking the course, you are exempt from work,
because your employer receives funds to take on a temporary replacement.
You have been working for your current employer in the social sector for at least
5 years, you have completed secondary education and you meet the requirements set out below. For information: with a certificate of vocational secondary
education you can only be considered if you did not complete the seventh year.
• You must work at least half-time.
• You can be available full-time for the course.
• You have to pass the VDAB test.
• You have a good command of Dutch (level 2 to 2.4).
• You work in one of the following Flemish sectors: Family care, institutions for
educational support and housing, sheltered or social work places, socio-cultural sector, daycare, Flemish healthcare institutions and services.
What courses can you take through this project?
This project is for supplementary vocational training that can be taken through
an adult education centre (Centrum voor Volwassenenonderwijs — CVO).
Preference will be given to courses providing entry-level qualifications for a
shortage occupation, such as educational support worker, nursing auxiliary,
daycare assistant, and so forth. There are a lot of employment opportunities
in this sector. For a list of shortage occupations check www.vdab.be/jobs/
knelpuntberoepen.shtml
On enrolment you indicate 2 CVOs of your choice. VIVO vzw will then see
which CVO still has places for the course you have chosen.
How long does the course take?
You take the daytime course, which is the quickest way possible. The length of
time will vary depending on the course taken.
For the length of each course see the website www.ond.vlaanderen.be/
onderwijsaanbod/
What are the financial and practical advantages of the project?
• You keep your basic pay.
• You are exempt from work for the Standard duration of the course.
• The course expenses are covered.
VIVO vzw co-ordinates this project in co-operation with the social foundations
of the following sectors:
• PC 318.02 (family care);
• PC 319.01 (remediation and housing institutions and services; of the Flemish
Community)

Training vouchers for employees
You can use these cheques to pay for a course, career advice, or assessment of
competence. The employee has to pay half the price. It is advisable to check
with the school offering the course whether they are a recognized educational
provider that works with training vouchers. Check with the school what costs
the vouchers cover before you order them. You can use them for courses taken
while using time credit or during paid educational leave.
You will find further information on the website
www.vdab.be/opleidingscheques/
Time credit (tijdskrediet)
If as an employee you are eligible to time credit then you can ask your employer
to shorten your hours temporarily so that you can take an alternatively organized course (anders georganiseerde opleiding – AGO).
The conditions and advantages of time credit can be seen on www.rva.be (click
through to Loopbaanonderbreking – tijdskrediet). Contact your employer to see
whether you are eligible for time credit within your organization.

Path=D_Opdracht_LBO/Regl/&Items=1/1
Training credit (Opleidingskrediet)
Over the full Standard duration of your occupational career you can take one
training credit for a maximum Standard duration of 2 years. Employees with at
least 20 years seniority (not necessarily in the social profit sector) get an additional half year.
If your course takes longer, you can obtain credit for the full Standard duration
of the course if:
• you are enrolled in second-chance education, which is to say:
• education in a centre for basic education and adult training;
• education to enable somebody aged over 18 to obtain a (higher) secondary
diploma;
• an introductory course in Dutch for non-native speakers;
• an introductory course in computer programming.
• you are taking a course that qualifies you for a shortage occupation. The list
of shortage occupations can be consulted on the RVA website (this provides
a list in Dutch of the courses that provide entry-level qualifications for occupations in which there is a significant shortage of workers).
To be eligible for the Flemish training credit you must:
• have a permanent contract;
• already have obtained your half-time or full-time time credit from the RVA;
• submit your application for the premium within 6 months of the beginning of
your career break;
• take a course that meets one of the following requirements:
• a course that is organized, subsidized or recognized by the sector training
foundations;
• a course that is organized, subsidized or recognized by the Flemish authorities, or a course recognized as equivalent (for instance at a foreign university). Such a course must comprise at least 120 hours or 30 credits per year.
During your career break you may:
• not do any other work;
• not have any other money-making activities;
• not receive unemployment benefit.
For further information see: www.werk.be/online-diensten/aanmoedigings
premies/social-profitsector/opleidingskrediet
Study grant (studiebeurs)
Sometimes a student can obtain financial support from the government. Adult
students (for example a single parent with dependants) can also be eligible.
Contact the social office at your educational institution for more information.
Also check the website www.ond.vlaanderen.be/studietoelagen, or contact the
Flemish Info Line (Vlaamse Infolijn – free number 1700).
Part-time learning
Almost all educational institutions will enable you to spread classes over a number of years. Often there will be lower academic fees per year if fewer classes
are taken. Some schools even offer individually tailored programmes suited to
your own tempo. Chapter 7 lists the educational institutions providing part-time
learning.
Distance learning
If you are unable to study in the daytime, it is sometimes possible to take
courses by distance learning. With the aid of the Internet you can study from
home as much as possible. You will then have less class time. Consult the course
overview in chapter 7 to see what courses can be taken by distance learning.

DIPLOMA GELIJKWAARDIGHEID EN ERKENNING VAN COMPETENTIES (EVC)
EQUIVALENCE OF
QUALIFICATIONS AND
RECOGNITION OF
CURRENT COMPETENCE
(EVC)
This chapter provides information about how to have the
equivalence of an existing qualification or the level of current
competence recognized. Section 6.1 explains how to have a
foreign qualification recognized by the Flemish Community. The
official agency that carries out the administrative work is NARICVlaanderen. Section 6.2 explains how you can have knowledge and
skills acquired through work experience officially recognized. This
will reduce time spent studying for a qualification.
EQUIVALENCE OF QUALIFICATIONS AND RECOGNITION OF CURRENT COMPETENCE (EVC) 79
6.1. DIPLOMAGELIJKWA ARDIGHEID
EQUIVALENCE OF QUALIFICATIONS
What is Naric-Vlaanderen?
NARIC is short for “National Academic (and professional) Recognition and
Information Centre”. NARIC-Vlaanderen is responsible for recognizing the
equivalence of:
• foreign diplomas of higher education;
• foreign diplomas of adult education;
• foreign diplomas of secondary education.
What is equivalence?
Equivalence is official recognition that a qualification obtained in another
country is of equal standing with a Flemish diploma. Official recognition of equivalence means that a foreign qualification has the same civil effect in Flanders
as the equivalent Flemish qualification has. This gives you the same rights as
a person who holds the equivalent Flemish qualification. If a Flemish diploma
qualifies somebody to apply for a job with the Flemish government, an equivalent foreign diploma does too.
How to apply?
A step-by-step guide that provides simple and straightforward advice
on choosing the right equivalence procedure can be found on the NARIC-Vlaanderen website. You can submit your application digitally through the
NARIC-Vlaanderen website or you can print out the application form and add
all the required documentation. If required documents are lacking your application will not be processed. You can find all the information about submitting an
application on the NARIC-Vlaanderen website.
How long does it take for an application to be processed?
For full equivalence NARIC aims to process your application within four
months. The application does have to be complete to be processed. No documentation can be missing.
Did NARIC-Vlaanderen receive my application?
If NARIC received your application, you will receive notification within 3 weeks.
Contact NARIC-Vlaanderen if you have heard nothing about your application
after three weeks.
Who decides whether my qualifications are equivalent?
NARIC–Vlaanderen presents your file to experts. They investigate whether the
studies you have successfully completed in another country are equivalent to a
similar studies provided by an educational institution of the Flemish Community.
NARIC-Vlaanderen reaches a decision on the basis of the experts’ advice.
Sometimes the experts meet in committees.
Will my qualification necessarily be recognized as equivalent?
No. Sometimes a foreign qualification is not the equivalent of a Flemish qualification. In some cases consideration can be given to equivalence at a different
educational level (for example adult education rather than higher education).
It is also possible that only ‘equivalence of level’ is recognized. Equivalence
of level means that a foreign diploma is recognized as a qualification of the
same level as a Flemish school leaving, 'higher vocational', 'bachelor', 'master'
or 'doctoral' qualification and was issued by a centre for higher education or a
university. This may be because the foreign course of study has no equivalent
in Flanders, so that there is no diploma with which the foreign diploma can be
declared equivalent. A recognition of equivalence of level is sometimes all that a
potential employer will require.
What are the conditions for submitting an equivalence application?
NARIC-Vlaanderen is responsible for recognizing equivalence with Flemish
qualifications. You can apply to NARIC-Vlaanderen if you live in Flanders or
in the Brussels Capital Region. You can also submit a file if you live abroad but
want to work in Flanders.
You will be referred to the NARIC centre of the Communauté française if:
• your official place of residence in Belgium is not in Flanders or in the Brussels
Capital Region;
• you are a pupil or a student at an educational institution subsidized by the
French Community;
• you want to use your qualifications to find work or to study in the French
Community;
• you are referred to NARIC-Vlaanderen by a French-language organization.

Do I need to have official recognition of the equivalence of my foreign
qualifications in order to study at a course provider within the Flemish
Community?
No. Within the Flemish Community the educational institutions themselves
decide about admission of pupils and students. You can apply directly to the
educational institution of your choice. You do not need to apply to
NARIC -Vlaanderen.
An overview of all the Flemish educational institutions in Brussels and Flanders,
with contact details, is available here: www.ond.vlaanderen.be/onderwijsaanbod
What are the options if you do not obtain recognition of equivalence?
In that case you go to the educational institution that offers the course you wish
to take. Educational institutions are free to decide what qualifications you need
to obtain in order to pursue the course you have in mind. The course provider
can look into whether your foreign qualification can entitle you to exemption
from part(s) of the curriculum, shortening the programme of study.
Which documents will you need to have translated when submitting an
application for equivalence?
If the original documents are NOT in French, English, German or Dutch, you will
need to send certified translations of the following documents (depending on
the procedure chosen):
• proof of identity;
• diploma or transcript;
• diploma supplement.
• Translations of summaries of the curriculum or dissertation need not be
certified. You can do these yourself. Contact a translation agency or a certified translator for further information about the costs of translations. To be
certain of just which documents you need to submit with your application, be
sure to check the NARIC-Vlaanderen website.
Can I get personal help with an equivalence application?
Bon, the Brussels reception agency for integration, offers new and established
immigrants registered with the integration programme help with the diploma
equivalence procedure.
Bon, in collaboration with ACTIRIS and CIRÉ, also provides information
sessions for Brussels job seekers on the procedures for recognition of the equivalence of qualifications. These provide information about the procedures of
NARIC-Vlaanderen and the procedures of the French Community.
Further information: www.actiris.be/tabid/176/language/nl-BE/Default.

number 02/5016680. For this service you have to be registered with Actiris.
NOTE: There is a special procedure for Nursing!
Nursing is a regulated profession. A regulated or protected profession is a
profession with legal requirements for entry. These professions require specific
professional qualifications. If your nursing degree was obtained at a recognized
educational institution in a European Union country or in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland or Norway and you are also a national of one of these countries
then you need not apply to NARIC-Vlaanderen. You can make contact directly
with the Federal Public Health Service (Federale Overheidsdienst Volksgezondheid). They will check whether you are allowed to practise professionally.

6.2. ERKENNING VAN COMPETENTIES (‘EVC’)
RECOGNITION OF PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED COMPETENCES
What is competence?
Competence is a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes. You need competence to carry out a task. Do you want to be able to cycle safely on the public
road (competence)? Then you need to know the highway code (knowledge),
cycle well (skill) and take account of other road users (attitude).
How do you acquire competence?
Competence has to be acquired. You can do this in a number of ways. You can
do it at work, at home, at school or in your free time.
What is recognition of current competence?
The EVC procedures give you an opportunity to have your current competence
certified. It does not matter how you acquired that competence. The procedure
consists of 4 steps:
• Identification: naming the types of competence you possess;
• Documentation: proving your competence through documentation;
• Assessment: your competence is assessed against a relevant standard (for
example occupational qualifications from the Vlaamse kwalificatiestructuur);
• Certification: a certificate of qualification or a certificate of competence is
issued.
The EVC can also provide you with exemptions for course components or
access to employment prospects. Contact your school for further information.
What is the Certificate of Experience (Ervaringsbewijs)?
Every job requires specific types of competence. You can prove this competence with a diploma or certificate. But you can also demonstrate your
competence through the EVC procedure. You will do a practical test and be
interviewed. If you pass, you receive a Certificate of Experience. This is official
certification of your competence. You can use it within the Flemish Community
to find work.
