NIDAP, Research Institute for Training and education

Welcome to NIDAP,

Research Institute for suppliers of Business education and training and ICT-training.

Our research data is used by the top suppliers of the Netherlands. We spot trends and market opportunities and advise our clients in making strategic choices. Our research is executed annually and is carried out in the Netherlands and Belgium. The NIDAP research databases and research facilities provide relevant answers to specific and complex questions in this field.

Business education and training

This fall NIDAP will, for the 15th consecutive year, research the market for management and executive training. In this extensive business education and training research the actual purchase and underlying motivations are charted systematically. This continuous research enables us to estimate the value of the trends and helps our clients with their marketing.

Target audience

About 450 people responsible for the training policy are interviewed. They all purchase management and executive training from outside sources. All companies have a minimum of 100 employees based at the office in question. All relevant branches of industry like manufacturing industry, commerce, transport, building companies, financial and business services have been included in the research files representatively. Within the public sector a selection is made from ministries, the provincial government and municipalities. We approach public utility companies and hospitals, among others, from the non-profit sector.

IT-training

Next spring Nidap will carry out the 13th annual research on the market for IT-training. We systematically chart the actual use of the most important IT-training combinations, the purchase of 122 different types of IT-training and the underlying motivations of the Dutch Trade and Industry and government on a yearly base.
