What other alternatives I have to fund my iCRA course?
We know that paying for a course can be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you out:
- Ask your employer to sponsor you: Explain how the skills you’ll gain will benefit your work and lead to better results.
- Invest in your career with your savings: It’s a great way to boost your future prospects.
- Look for scholarships: Sometimes scholarships are available, though they may have specific conditions. Check Dutch scholarship options here. Of course it is also possible to fund your course by other scholarships you might have access to.
