About Condor Arnhem Opleidingen & Trainingen

Education is never an isolated effort; it serves to provide people with the knowledge and skills to function within a larger system. This philosophy underpins our approach of Profession-Oriented Education (BGO), where the profession—and the specific tasks for which learners are trained—are central.

BGO integrates training within a broader context, ensuring that individuals are prepared for actual roles and responsibilities. It emphasizes not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills and contextual understanding.
By focusing on real-world tasks, the relevance of training increases. Learners gain insight into how their knowledge and skills contribute to their role within a profession or industry.

Our goal is to help professionals perform their tasks effectively in their work environment. Through practice-based, ever-evolving curricula, we equip learners for today’s and tomorrow’s labor market. Close collaboration with industry partners ensures that our learning offerings are aligned with current developments.

Tailor-made programs may include shorter or extended learning tracks, flexible timing and location, or customized content and experience levels.

To deliver education effectively and efficiently, we tailor learning activities to the learner’s specific needs (just as needed), at the right time (just in time), and in the right place (just in place) to achieve optimal learning outcomes.

Some training requires highly specialized knowledge. To ensure excellence, CA-OT uses both in-house educators and an extensive network of professionals. These content experts may contribute via guest lectures or by fully supporting and assessing learning trajectories. Their real-world experience ensures that our training remains relevant and aligned with government needs.

We require all external educators and assessors to be trained and certified by CA-OT, ensuring consistency and quality.

To safeguard safety during training, CA-OT works with small learning groups and creates unique learning situations. We ensure that all learners and educators feel heard and seen. Mistakes are embraced as learning opportunities, and every learner is given the space to grow into a competent and professional colleague.

Our target audience is diverse in terms of prior knowledge, motivation, and learning preferences. We value this diversity. By appreciating individual strengths, diversity becomes a source of power. Meeting the needs of each learner requires personal interaction between educators and learners, and personal guidance is therefore central to our approach.

Formative assessment is an essential part of our education. The process is as important as the result. By evaluating progress regularly, learners gain better insight into their learning, and educators can provide more effective guidance.

Formative assessments—such as self-tests to activate prior knowledge—enhance the learning of new material. Frequent evaluation keeps students engaged throughout the course, not just before final assessments. Feedback from these assessments provides valuable direction for further learning, improving outcomes.
