In Belgium, training support is organised by region.
Depending on where you live and/or work (Flanders, Brussels-Capital Region, or Wallonia), you may have access to paid educational leave, training vouchers, or employer-focused subsidies.
These schemes typically apply to approved training and come with eligibility criteria. Our team can help you understand what to check, what documents you might need, and how to plan your learning pathway in Cyber Security, Data Science & AI, Web Development, or UX/UI Design.

How To Get Started
Belgium’s funding routes are regional and often depend on your employment status and whether the training is recognised.
Start by identifying the region that applies to you (where you work and/or live), then check the official eligibility criteria. If you’d like help mapping the options to your situation, our team can support you with practical next steps so you can focus on building real, job-relevant tech skills.
1. Identify your region and status
Funding rules can differ between Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia, and may depend on whether you’re employed, job-seeking, self-employed, or supported by an employer.
2. Check eligibility and training recognition
Review the official criteria for the scheme you’re considering (approved training requirements, timing, documentation, and any caps or limits).
3. Plan your bootcamp pathway
Choose the bootcamp format that matches your schedule (full-time or part-time) and build your plan to upskill in Cyber Security, Data Science & AI, Web Development, or UX/UI Design.
