About Via Vinci > Accreditations & Certificates
Via Vinci aspires continuously to demonstrate its quality. For that reason, during the past years a whole range of certifications and accreditations have been obtained, to which new ones will be added in 2008.

Stichting Post HBO (SPHBO, Post-Educational Training Foundation) is an independent service organization in the field of post-educational training in The Netherlands. Its object is to make a distinction by way of quality testing in the ample supply of post-educational courses existing here. Courses tested by SPHBO receive the designation Registeropleiding post-HBO (Registered post-educational training). This is a protected title that only SPHBO can grant.
By now, Via Vinci’s courses for school manager educational team leader, school manager educational entrepreneur, lateral-entry school manager and internal supervisor primary education as well as our courses for interim-manager, and student care coordinator secondary education have been provided with this quality mark.

The International Association of Science Parks (IASP) is a global network of approximately 400 Science and Technology Parks. Having members in 75 countries, IASP plays an important role in linking up the more than 150,000 companies inside its network and boosting their growth and effectiveness. IASP-members in their own regions improve the market position of companies and entrepreneurs, while contributing by means of innovation, entrepreneurship and the transfer of knowledge and technology to global economic development. IASP has certified Via Vinci; especially the practical contents and educational methods of Via Vinci’s courses fit perfectly with the goals of IASP.

The Nederlandse Schoolleiders Academie (NSA, Dutch School Managers Academy) is the professional organization for executives in primary education in The Netherlands. NSA actively stimulates the professional quality of its occupational group, among other things by creating a register for school managers and evaluating the existing supply of courses.
Via Vinci’s courses for school manager primary education were the first to be recognized in The Netherlands with the highest hallmark of NSA: three owls.

Cedeo is an independent agent that grants the quality mark ‘Cedeo acknowledged’ to organizations working in the field of Human Resource Improvement, basing itself on the criteria of client satisfaction, quality, continuity and business orientation. Its judgement is made on the basis of a client satisfaction survey among purchasers and customers from business, administration and the non-profit sector. The title ‘Cedeo acknowledged’ will only be given when at least an 80 percent of these clients are satisfied with the performance, collaboration and quality of the examined HR-company.
In their most recent survey, Via Vinci’s courses were valued with the ultra-high score of 9.6 out of 10.
NVAO
The Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatie Organisatie (NVAO, Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organization) independently secures the quality of higher education in The Netherlands and Flanders by evaluating courses and giving quality marks, as well as raising this quality wherever possible. Furthermore, NVAO contributes to the enhancement of quality-consciousness in higher education and supports the positioning of higher education from a national and international point of view.
Via Vinci seeks to have all its Bachelor and Master courses NVAO accredited. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Educational Management (MEM) programmes are under judgement of the NQA, after which the programmes can receive NVAO accreditation through a shorter procedure.
