Basic VCA Online Course in Dutch

Basic VCA Online Course in Dutch
The online Basic VCA course is an excellent option for individuals who want to gain knowledge in workplace safety, risk assessment, and accident prevention. The course content is identical to that covered during in-person sessions—the only difference is the flexibility of the learning format.
This course is a great alternative for anyone who wants to prepare for the exam at a time and place that suits them. The course is conducted in Dutch, so a working knowledge of the language is recommended for effective learning.
Online VCA Training
The online version of the Basic VCA course, prepared by Bonapi, is ideal for those who cannot attend traditional in-person training due to work obligations, being abroad, or simply preferring to study at their own pace.
The course is intended for:
individuals working in shifts or with flexible schedules
participants currently outside the Netherlands
candidates who prefer to study at home, at their own pace
If the online test is passed, the theoretical part is considered complete, and the participant proceeds directly to the practical part.
We reserve the right to re-verify the participant’s theoretical knowledge with questions during the practical exam or through a repeated test, to confirm that the online test was completed based on the participant’s own knowledge.
For €165.00, you receive:
