From the very first day since its founding in 2008, Bureau STERK has been a company with a strong social mission. Today, it is a B Corp certified EVC provider (Validation of Prior Learning) based in Culemborg, the Netherlands. We help individuals and organisations formally recognise professional talents, experiences and competence/skills through structured EVC trajectories for certifications and registrations (e.g., school leadership, SKJ, exemptions for (parts of) mbo/hbo diplomas).
Bureau STERK's positive and appreciative methodology, grounded in principles such as positive psychology and Appreciative Inquiry, strongly emphasises dialogue. This interactive element is key to the approach, as it helps discover what already works well and amplifies those strengths through holistic development conversations. Moreover, STERK's ability to make 'value visible and demonstrable' by turning insights from tools like the STERKscan into clear, actionable outcomes is significant. This helps professionals to identify, showcase, and leverage their core strengths in their learning and career paths.
Our signature tools include the STERKscan, a visually engaging online tool that maps personal and professional identity and growth, and STERiK, an interactive (child)-development portfolio. With ov
