The programme is designed to fit the needs of a 21st century student. We offer an interactive learning experience.

You will work on weekly assignments and projects, both individually and with peers, so that you gain practical evidence and can showcase evidence of your gained knowledge and skills.

The Learner Experience in a Nutshell

Workshops

Weekly workshops led by a course facilitator who is a field expert help you define and understand the why, what, how, and what if of the modules. The workshops are a great opportunity to learn by practice and interact with your peers.

Digital Learning Resources

In parallel with weekly workshop topics, you have access to digital resources curated specifically for your programme modules. All content is available within the related week under the modules on Campus.

Experiential Learning Platform: In partnership with Qwasar, all learners will have access to a powerful learning platform with an integrated development environment. The experiential learning model is what enables you to develop the very skills that will set you apart from other job candidates.

Action Learning Sets

While some of the learning experience is self-directed, you belong to an action learning set of 4-7 people. Action learning sets take place in between weekly workshops and provide the chance of receiving peer support for a challenge or a problem that you are facing during the programme. You join an action learning set once a week, and it is self-organised. To get you started with the format, you receive several workshops on how to conduct action learning sets on your own.

Mentoring

Your mentor is a field expert with extensive experience and knowledge. You interact with your mentor on a regular basis to receive support throughout the programme. Mentors help you gain mastery in your field of study as well as receive tips and guidance towards employability.

Assignments & Projects

You work on and solve real-world problems in each assignment and project. You get the chance to put your learning into action and build a portfolio along the way. Every week you are given an assignment while at the end of each module you are given a module project which is more comprehensive and challenging.

Peer-to-Peer Learning

We believe that peer-learning is an important element for success, and we see this as one of the core features of each programme. Some of the assignments and projects are designed in such a way that you work together as peers and develop your teamwork skills as well as learn from one another.

Town Halls

A Town Hall is an online event led by one of our community managers in which we regularly share ideas and feedback - but also create a space to celebrate achievements and share exciting news with one another. Town Halls are generally held bimonthly.

Join a thriving community of talent and visionary companies. Together we will pioneer work-based learning for the digital economy.

Our approach and methodology are rooted in a core activity - the full-stack education program. We offer interactive and experiential learning experiences.

We do not use a traditional classroom approach. No exams, no lectures, no teachers. Instead, we focus on getting you the domain (technical) and leadership skills that are on-demand in the job market, help you build a portfolio through practical assignments and projects, and connect you with facilitators and mentors with direct experience in the field.

Is the Amsterdam Tech Learning Experience Right for You?

Will I have to go to a campus?

No, our online platform and part-time workshops/action learning groups/mentoring let you work while you study.

One of the things I really want in my education is someone who knows their stuff and will work with me.

Amsterdam Tech is about social learning where you will have the opportunity to join a community of learners, mentors, and facilitators, through workshops, mentoring and action learning groups.

I'm not an academic - I'm more hands-on. Is this school right for me?

Accreditation

International Accreditation

Amsterdam Tech is accredited by Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC) which is an independent body providing accreditation services for independent, further and higher education colleges.

ASIC accreditation helps students and parents make a more informed choice. It will also help a school, college, university, training provider or distance education provider, demonstrate to the international student body that they are a high-quality institution.

Amsterdam Tech offers credits and degrees through a validation partnership with European Leadership University which operates with the approval of the Ministry of Culture and Education and the Higher Education Planning, Evaluation, Accreditation and Coordination Council in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus. While awarded degrees are internationally recognised and accredited as European degrees, they do not lead to a local Dutch degree based on the Dutch Higher Education and Scientific Research Act (WHW)
