Why choose an IT course at Winc Academy?
Choosing an IT course at Winc Academy means choosing a course that makes a real difference in your life. We developed our courses with one goal: to make you successful in the IT sector, regardless of your background.
Unlike traditional courses, we are all about practical learning. Not a dusty theory, but directly applicable knowledge that you can use right away. We understand that moving to IT can be exciting, which is why personal guidance is at the heart of our approach. You are never alone — our experienced coaches will help you through difficult moments and celebrate your successes with you.For us, flexibility is not an afterthought but a core value. We know you may have other obligations — work, family, or other activities. That's why you can take our courses where and when it suits you. No tight schedules or mandatory attendance, but learning on your terms.
The ingredients to succeed
The best part of it all?
You don't need any technical knowledge to get started. Many of our most successful students started without any IT experience. What you do need is motivation and curiosity. With those ingredients and our guidance, you can be ready for a job in IT — a sector where thousands of vacancies await you — within a few months.

Financing: Learn without worries!
We understand that the cost of training is an important consideration when thinking about changing careers or improving your skills. That's why at Winc Academy, we've worked hard on collaborations with various funding partners to make your IT course accessible.
Can the UWV help you?
The UWV is one of our most important partners. If you are currently receiving unemployment benefits, there is a possibility that the UWV will finance your entire education. This support is specifically intended for people who want to strengthen their position in the labor market by learning new, relevant skills. The UWV acknowledges that IT professionals are desperately needed and is therefore happy to invest in your future.
These are the conditions for ESF+
In addition to the UWV, we also work with the ESF+ program (European Social Fund Plus). This European grant has been specially developed to help people with a vulnerable labour market position improve their digital skills. If you are unemployed, have recently received benefits, have an education up to a maximum of MBO-4 level, work for a modest salary or as a self-employed person with a low hourly rate, you may be eligible for 100% funding via ESF+.
Are you from the Haaglanden region?
For residents of the Haaglanden region, we have another option: Haaglanden Leert Door. This regional program offers financial support for taking an IT course and is specifically aimed at strengthening the local labor market. If you live or work in this region, this is definitely worth investigating.
Even if you are not directly eligible for these arrangements, there are other options. Many employers have a training budget available for their employees. In addition, you can often deduct the costs of your IT course from your tax as study costs. Our financing advisors are happy to help you find the best option for your situation, so that you can start learning without financial worries.

Curious about what our students say about us?
Great learning experience overall
Great learning experience overall, mentors provided good feedback during my FSD course and I'm likely to take another additional course with Winc if needed in my future endeavors!
I really learned a lot
I finished my Front End Dev. course here with a lot of pleasure. The mentors are very helpfull and meeting students via the slack platform is very nice. I really learned a lot and I'm feeling secure that I can change my career into something new. I would highly recommend Winc to anyone who'd like to study Front End Development. Thank you Winc!
Great learning experience
Great learning experience, very fun and interactive ways to learn new things. The information in the courses has been updated regularly. Whenever you have questions, they get answered super quickly and also problems are resolved very quickly. You can tell the courses have been designed by people who know a lot about offering a great online user experience.
Thank you
The Back-end project completed successfully. Educational and information back-end training with exercises and final tests. Winch employees assisted us at all times via Slack. Thank you
Loved diving into the online marketing course at Winc Academy!
Loved diving into the online marketing course at Winc Academy! It wasn't just about learning new skills (which it totally did!) , but also about pushing myself and proving that the whole “creatives can't be analytical” thing is a myth. Seriously, this course boosted my confidence and made me curious about what else I could learn. Feeling grateful for the whole experience — it was a real gift to myself! Plus, the Winc Academy team was awesome — super helpful and encouraging. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to level up their skills and explore new possibilities!
Winc has been a fantastic learning platform
Winc has been a fantastic learning platform for me. The courses are well-structured, and the instructors provide clear explanations, making complex topics more understandable. The interactive and hands-on approach, especially in the coding courses like BED JS, has been incredibly helpful in reinforcing my understanding.
Definitely recommended
A course structure. Clear explanation through videos and sufficient questions and assignments for the course. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to take a higher step in the field of data analyst.
I can only recommend it!
I followed the “UX Design with Figma” course at Winc Academy. It's a very well structured course, with lots of theoretical and practical knowledge, (with additional resources to dig deeper) that can be followed in your own pace, whenever you have time or feel like doing it. All Winc Academy students are connected via the community app where you can meet people following the same course, help each other, develop together. I am using Figma now on a daily basis, both for work and for my personal use. I can only recommend it!
Agile Project Management, conveniently arranged digitally
Winc has a nice, well-organized portal. The curriculum is also clear, with example cases, which makes the theory a bit more light-hearted. The digital system works very well, so I didn't need contact with a “physical Winc employee”. Strangely enough, I do miss that a bit afterwards. Hence not 5 but 4 stars.
One big community!
Good course material, plenty of live lessons, helpful teachers and fellow students. Slack is great for connecting with each other. Constructive criticism is always taken seriously. 1 point for improvement. The time indicated in which you can study is the same for a Newby in tech or a student who is already familiar with programming languages. Six months of Full Stack development for a Newby is too short. There may be a difference in that. This is especially important for students who follow the course through the UWV, because then time is also important.
Great way to learn how to program online
Great to learn how to program at your own pace and from home. With lots of great teaching materials and assignments.
My experience
A great course, doing it in English, took some switching but certainly not too difficult.
I am satisfied with my Back-end training at Winc
I am satisfied with my Back-end training at Winc. Not only was it interesting and educational, but it also gave me the skills and confidence to pursue my professional goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone who is serious about a career in back-end development. Thanks, Winc, for this great experience!
Back-End has thus become clearer and even more interesting
Many parts have been covered through this course. Working with Python was challenging but the assignments were fast. Much of the logic of what Back-End does has certainly become clearer and even more fascinating.
Professional and clear course
Professional and clear course! Afterwards, you'll have a solid basis (and more than that!) to be able to build on in your future career.
Upgrading JS skills
For a Front End Developer, this course expands your JavaScript skills. You need understanding of coding before entering this course. When you are making the exercises it gives you power to learn more.
Very nice and interactive learning...
Very nice and interactive learning environment, where I learned a lot about UX design and the FIGMA tool.
For people who don't have time to take a lesson, this is ideal
For people who don't have time to take a lesson, this is ideal. All courses are in English, so basic English is a must. Unfortunately, it was not indicated anywhere when registering. But everything turns out to be its own! Mentors also always answer your questions. Good luck!
Study quietly at your own pace... from home!
You can study quietly at your own pace online from home or elsewhere, no pressure from Winc. Great help from mentors and fellow students via Slack. + Great teaching material.
I recently had Back-End Development...
I recently studied Back-End Development at Winc and it was a challenging but fun experience. The exercises and assignments were creative and engaging and provided a great learning opportunity. The mentors were nice and helpful throughout the process. Would recommend it!
A good course Cybersecurity for everyone
For me I learned a lot. There are things I didn't know about or didn't understand enough yet. Now I feel like a follow up course Ethical hacker is something that I wanne do or take more follow-up steps.
Very good guidance and fun exercises!
Very good guidance and fun exercises! There is a logical structure to the course!
Great course with good content
Great course with good content, decorated in a good and motivating way. You can study when and where it suits you, in short; recommended!
This course was very helpful
This course was very helpful in exploring the basics of UX design. The materials were understandable and clear. Thank you, Winc Academy!
Educational and gained a lot of knowledge
It was an educational and valuable course. Good examples and lots of explanations from the lecturer. Good teaching material and support was very good. I found it very pleasant. It was an eye opener when it came to the many options you have with Power BI. The fabric covers the entire load. From beginner to advanced Power BI user, this is a useful course.
Fun online training!
Fun fun course about ChatGPT, including humor and great information.
I have the 'Data Analytics with Python'...
I took the 'Data Analytics with Python' course and am really excited about it! Before I started, I already had programming experience, but I learned all this myself. Through this course, I learned how to apply the 'better' methods from experienced programmers. All in all, very happy with the course!
Very good and patient mentors
Very good and patient mentors who want to help you with everything. It is certainly not an easy course, but that is also the intention. And it's healthy to put the brain to work, so if you really choose a different direction in your career, don't sit still and sign up for a course at winc academy
Cybersecurity for everyone
This course is a very in-depth look into the working of cyber security. What a person can do to increase his/her/their online security. It will make you see where you need more action. Plus links to valuable sites. I enjoyed this course and have learned a lot.
It's never too late to learn something new!
It's never too late to learn something new! And Winc Academy is the place to start. I knew nothing about programming, but now I see that I learned a lot in a few months during the course. Thanks Winc Academy.
