Go to the page of your chosen programme and sign up using the sign-up button.

As long as there is a place, you can always sign up. However, we recommend that you sign up before March 1st. The longer you wait to sign up, the greater the chance the programme will be full.

After you sign up you will receive a notification within 10 working days. You will also receive an invitation for an introductory meeting. During this meeting, which lasts 2 to 2.5 hours, you can see if the programme really fits you. At the end you can confirm your choice for the programme. The programme doesn’t seem to suit you after all? Then our Info Point will help considering your options.

You can cancel your registration for an mbo programme. This does not cost you money. Need help to find another programme? Please contact our Info Point.

Yes, that's possible. If you have a certificate of transfer to havo 4 and are at least 16 years of age, you are welcome at all level 3 and 4 programmes of Summa College.

Full = the programme is full and you cannot sign up.

Waiting list = the programme is full but has a waiting list. If a place becomes available, you will receive a notification.

Limited number of places = some bol programmes have a limited number of places. This has to do with the number of available internships. There is therefore a chance you will not be accepted for that programme. We recommend you also register for another programme.

To be able to follow a programme, you must meet certain pre-education requirements. These are different for each programme. On our website you will find the degree or transition certificate you need in order to register.

When can I be admitted to a programme at Summa College?
Basically, anyone from 16 years of age can attend vocational training at our college. For adult education, a minimum age of 18 applies. The admission conditions vary per programme and level; check out the programme of your choice. Once you have signed up, we will check if your pre-education is in line with the education you want to follow.

If you do not (yet) have a citizenship service number (BSN) you can sign up by completing this form and sending it to the correct school. You do not have to fill in the Citizen Service Number on this form.

Basically, Summa College only accepts students with the right pre-education. If you have the option, it's always better to get a diploma. In exceptional cases you will be able to be admitted without the right degree. Contact the school for more information.

For contact and location information refer to this page.

On DUO's website you will find more information about how and when to pay tuition fees. For families with minimal financial resources, there are the following possibilities for financial aid in schooling:

Stichting Leergeld [foundation learning costs]

Stichting Leergeld (dutch) is committed to helping school-aged children (4 to 18 years of age) from families with minimal financial resources. You can apply for, for example, parent contributions, school trips, school camps or transport to school. Purchasing a bicycle or computer is also possible. 

Parents or caregivers may call for assistance from a local Leergeld Stichting if they cannot pay certain in-school or out-of-school activities and have an income that is demonstrable below 120% the minimum income level.

Emergency Fund

If, due to your financial situation, you are unable to pay the tuition fees and additional study costs, you may be entitled to the Emergency Fund. Travel expenses are not reimbursed via the Emergency Fund.
To apply for the Emergency Fund please contact our Info Point at +31 40 269 44 44.

If you are 18 or older and follow a bol programme at mbo level, you may apply for a student loan.

It is unusual to get two diplomas at the same level. Our general policy is not to allow this. The mbo aims to let students move on to a higher level after obtaining a diploma. In exceptional cases, however, it is possible to follow a programme again at the same level. The school of your choice will decide if they want to make an exception. You can register and, after registration, you will receive a message from the school.

Our education is focused on four levels:

Level 1 - entrance programme

You perform simple tasks. You work under supervision and assist others in the work.

Level 2 - basic professional

You perform standard work independently

Level 3 - professional

You work independently and you can organise and plan. You assign tasks to employees.

Level 4 – middle management officer

You perform work completely independently. You guide and coordinate activities in a department or in a small company.

Level 4 - specialist

You perform work independently and you can perform specialised work.

Secondary education is provided at the Montessori College, School 23 and the Ster College. These schools are affiliated with Summa College. Go to our full list of schools (dutch).
