Accredited training company for BBL courses
Van der Valk is not only a renowned internship company, but also an accredited training company for students following a BBL course. During BBL courses, a large part of the education is taught through practice. The division between practice and school is 80/20 and you also earn a salary. This education is perfect for students who prefer to learn on the job or young adults who are already working and want to obtain a diploma at a higher level.
