What goes wrong

Education is lagging behind. Not ambition.

Many people want to continue learning or retraining, but get stuck in slow, expensive and inflexible education. And what is flexible often lacks real guidance. Meanwhile, the world is changing rapidly — and education is lagging behind.

“Too many times I've seen talented people get stuck in a system that doesn't move with them.”

Dennis

Founder of Bit Academy

Why we exist

We started this because we would have wanted it differently ourselves.

We believe that things can be done differently. That's why we're building Hbo Online: a recognized course that is just as flexible as you are ambitious. For people who really want to learn, at their own pace — but never alone.

How does it work?

4 years: or faster

Complete your education in four years — or faster, if you're up for it.

100% online

Learn where and when you want, without sacrificing quality or guidance.

Monthly check-ins

You are never alone — you have a 1 on 1 with your coach every month.

You do the work

You never have to wait for lessons; you learn by doing, and that is reflected in your growth.

What you get out of it

No empty promises. But results that count.

A recognized higher professional education diploma, 100% online. But more importantly: you learn the skills and mindset for real work, from coaches in the field. At the end, you don't just have a piece of paper — you're in demand on the job market.

What do real Bit Academy members say

“Hey wait, I couldn't do this a week ago...”

Monya, former MBO student

“They offered me a job.”

Brian, Mbo alumni

“It was really a culture shock.”

Akram, former Mbo student

*At the moment, we are putting a few of our higher professional education members in front of the camera; our MBO students are experiencing the same thing.

When does the training start?

Bit Academy Pro gives you access to all course material and assignments, but without a recognized diploma and with less personal guidance. Hbo Online is more intensive, recognized, and intended for those who really want to take a new step.

What does the guidance look like at Hbo Online?

No. If you sign up via the site, we will first contact you to see if Hbo Online is really the right fit for you. Only then do you decide whether to officially board.

What is the difference between your HBO part-time course, HBO Online and Pro courses?

Hbo Online is completely independent and flexible, without classroom moments. The part-time variant is more structured and intended for students who seek guidance and rhythm in addition to their work.

HBO Online is more intensive, recognized, and intended for those who really want to take a new step and have no programming experience yet. This is where we start with the basics. You attend online lectures twice a week in the evening and go through the entire program online.

Bit Academy Pro gives you access to all course material and assignments, but without a recognized diploma and with less personal guidance.

What makes this HBO different from other ICT courses?

Sure. You set your own pace. If you work hard and learn consistently, you can finish (much) faster than in the traditional system.

I'm already a Pro member. Can I track my progress?

No, you can start from scratch. However, we do expect motivation and perseverance, because the level is high.
