Financing your programme

If you work at a Flemish SME, you can apply for funding to put towards your programme fees. Our approval number is: DV.O105182. Learn more or email accounting@vlerick.com with any questions. 

Are you self-employed, or do you work for an SME in Brussels? Then, under certain conditions, you are entitled to an Educational Subsidy. You can find all of the conditions on the website of the Brussels-Capital Region. Please note: you must request this subsidy at least 1 month before the start of the educational programme.

If you’re an employee in the private sector, you may be able to apply for Vlaams opleidingsverlof (Flemish Training Leave). This means you can take time off from work to complete your programme – and still get paid. Your employer gets a lump sum to cover costs. Learn more.
