Questions
The honest answers
Who teaches it?
Engracia Sleeswijk leads the sessions, with guest practitioners for two of the eight weeks. She has spent over twenty years designing accredited curricula and leading digital transformation programmes inside organisations, and she does the assessments herself.
Is this accredited?
No. There is no national accreditation and no ECTS credits. You get a certificate from ESleeswijk Consultancy B.V. that names the assessment you passed and what it covered. If your employer needs an accredited programme, this is not it.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Instalments are available, with the first one collected before the cohort starts. There is no extra cost for paying this way, and the final instalment is collected before the assessment. Enrollment is open.
I am paying for myself — is it different?
No. Same cohort, same sessions, same assessment. Only the invoicing and the VAT treatment differ: individuals pay themselves, organisations are invoiced on 30-day terms.
What if I change my mind?
Consumers buying at a distance have a 14-day right of withdrawal. If the cohort has already started within those 14 days and you asked us to begin, you pay a proportionate amount for the part already delivered and the right ends once the programme is fully delivered. You confirm you understand this at checkout.
Can my employer be invoiced?
Yes. We invoice the organisation directly on 30-day terms, with a purchase order number if you need one. VAT is added where it applies. Tick the proposal box in the form and you will get a one-page document you can forward.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and you get the assignment in writing. You can miss two of the eight and still complete. Miss more and we will tell you honestly that the group work no longer holds together, and move you to the next cohort at no extra cost.
What is the time commitment per week?
Around four hours: one live session of 90 minutes, and roughly two and a half hours on an assignment drawn from your own work. The final week adds the assessment, which takes about two hours.
What happens if the cohort does not fill?
We run from eight participants. Below eight we move the start date and tell everyone on the list within three working days of enrollment closing on 2 October 2026. Anyone who has paid gets a full refund or a place in the next cohort, their choice.
Do the Labs count towards the programme?
A lab gives you one skill; the programme gives you the level. If you take three labs and then join a cohort, the labs come off the programme price — tell us when you enroll.
How do I book a lab?
Booking is open on the Labs page. You pick a lab, pay, and get your workbook straight away; the dates are confirmed by email.
