Frequently Asked Questions

Programme fees include tuition, programme materials, plus lunch and refreshments throughout the programme. Hotel accommodation is not included, unless mentioned otherwise in the programme information.

Once registered you will receive an invoice which we ask you to pay within 30 days. If registration takes place 30 days or fewer before the start of the programme, your fee must be paid before the programme’s start date. If you do  not receive an invoice, contact the manager of your programme.

In exceptional cases it is possible to pay your tuition fee in instalments. If you wish to do so, please contact your designated programme manager. The first instalment of the tuition fee is due before the start of the programme.

Our executive education programmes are, in principle, all subject to 21% VAT* but exemption from VAT is possible in some cases.

You are eligible for VAT-free invoicing if you:

• Follow the programme as a private person
• Work at an organisation that does not pay VAT (e.g. a government agency, bank, insurer, cultural, health or non-profit organisation)

In these instances, it is not possible to reclaim VAT, so we recommend to use a VAT-free option. To cover our administrative and purchasing costs (which are not VAT-exempted), a non-refundable surcharge of 10% is added to the VAT-free price.

Next steps

If you are eligible for exemption from VAT and would like to make use of it, please mention "VAT-free invoicing" in the questions section when registering for your programme.

* All prices exclude VAT (‘BTW’ in the Netherlands). The percentage of VAT is subject to change according to Dutch law.
