Three routes, three different goals. Pick the one that fits where you are now — and where you want to go.
Whichever route you pick, you get a coach who reads your code and gives you honest feedback.

Four promises we never negotiate on, and why they work.
We don't train for an exam. We train for the work you'll do afterwards. Real assignments, real deadlines, real feedback. What you learn here you'll use tomorrow.
Watching videos doesn't make you a programmer, just as watching piano doesn't make you a pianist. Our exercises force you to build yourself, step by step, always with a concrete result.
Code gets better under critical eyes. Our coaches say what they actually think. Not to knock you down, but to move you forward. We don't do fake compliments.
You set your pace. We don't do fixed schedules. Put in a heavy week or a quiet one. As long as you make progress, we're happy.
NexEd is our own learning platform: 400+ assignments, automatic feedback on code, visible skill levels. You work in NexEd at school, at home, on the train, between shifts. Start as a Front-end Rookie, finish with an end project employers want to see.
No career-lab full of forms. Four clear steps, and a coach who walks every one of them with you.
A free 30-minute call, online or on location. Where are you, what do you want, which route fits? Sometimes we'll advise you to start elsewhere. Honest beats polite.
The intake differs per route. MBO and HBO include admission requirements and follow-up conversations; Pro has a short assessment of your starting level. Together we map where you stand and which route fits.
400+ hands-on assignments in our own platform. Personal 1-on-1 check-ins with your coach. Contact with your cohort. Your pace, your goals, we keep you sharp.
Internship, final project or direct applications via our employer network. From career switcher to Bachelor graduate: we guide you to, and often past, your first job.
Inside every module it's clear what to do next: a practical assignment, a diagnostic check, a clear time estimate. No vagueness about "this week's chapter". At any moment you know the next step.
Our coaches ship code themselves every week, give honest feedback and keep you sharp. Six voices, one from each team.
The coolest thing about this programme? Students pick their own direction: frontend, backend, data, AI. My job is mostly sharpening that choice and keeping them challenged.
The people I coach come from hospitality, healthcare, construction. Six months later they're shipping production code. It's tough, and that's exactly why it works.
I think it matters that you see yourself moving forward week to week. Set goals together, review code, do it again next week. Not magical, but what actually works.
Our HBO isn't a theory exam. We teach the language, the patterns, the trade-offs. In your first year you're already contributing to real systems. That's the difference.
Working professionals come to Pro because they want more than tutorials. Honest feedback, every week. That's what keeps them in, not the videos.
Every exercise, every skill, every module hangs on a visible path: from your first line of code to a final project employers want to see. You see where you stand, what's next, and which work ends up in your portfolio.
Our studios in Amsterdam, Purmerend and Groningen aren't classrooms. They're workspaces with coffee, tall tables and people building what you're building. Come by when you're stuck, stay home when you're in flow.
A selection from our full FAQ. Not finding your question? Send us a message. We usually reply within one working day.
No. Almost every route requires no prior experience. In the intake call and a short intake assignment we mainly assess how you think, not what you already know.
Our students are 17 to 55. The average bootcamp student is 31. Programming takes logical thinking and persistence. Neither of which has an expiry date.
Yes. Our Bachelor Software Developer is nationally accredited. Bootcamps award an HBO-recognised certificate. We hold the NRTO quality mark and are CRKBO-registered: both independent quality standards for private training providers in the Netherlands.
Very often yes, especially for Bit Academy Pro and sometimes for bootcamps. We'll provide a tailored business quote and supporting rationale for training budgets. Email us and you'll have the document within one working day.
