Analysis
What this data actually tells you
Education in the Netherlands includes a specific recognition gate for privately-funded vocational training: non-funded (niet-bekostigd) mbo or hbo programmes need diploma recognition (diploma-erkenning) from DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs) before they can issue officially-recognised qualifications, whether delivered in the work-study (bol) or apprenticeship (bbl) form. The specific application procedure for 2026 is set out in a dedicated policy rule, and once recognised, a programme is registered in DUO’s Registration of Institutions and Programmes (RIO).
A separate recognition applies to companies rather than training institutions: hosting an apprentice in vocational training requires the company itself to be recognised as an erkend leerbedrijf by SBB (Samenwerkingsorganisatie Beroepsonderwijs Bedrijfsleven), the body coordinating vocational education and industry. For verification, a Dutch education-sector counterparty’s actual standing depends on checking the specific recognition relevant to its role — DUO diploma recognition for a training provider, SBB recognition for an apprentice-hosting employer — and note that updating a recognised programme triggers a fresh recognition requirement under a new programme code.

Who uses Netherlands education ownership data
The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.
DUO diploma recognition (erkenning) check
Non-funded (niet-bekostigd) vocational programmes in the Netherlands need diploma recognition from DUO to issue officially-recognised qualifications, following a specific 2026 policy rule for the application procedure — recognition is registered in DUO’s own Registration of Institutions and Programmes (RIO).
SBB apprenticeship-company recognition check
Companies wanting to host apprentices in vocational training need recognition as an erkend leerbedrijf from SBB (Samenwerkingsorganisatie Beroepsonderwijs Bedrijfsleven) — a distinct, sector-specific recognition separate from the training provider’s own DUO diploma recognition.
Programme-code renewal exposure
When a recognised programme is updated and receives a new programme code, the institution must reapply for diploma recognition from scratch — a real, recurring compliance event worth checking against a provider’s current programme portfolio.
