Education check

Education check for qualified employees

With an Education check, you make sure that (potential) employees have the right experience to perform their work correctly. This is important because in some sectors it is obliged by law to employ qualified employees.

Validata checks the diploma at the highest level of education. Training and course certificates cannot be verified.

Diploma register: direct access through DUO

Om de authenticiteit en geldigheid van een diploma te checken is meer nodig dan alleen een kopie, aangeleverd door de (potentiële) medewerker. Validata heeft een partnership met dataleverancier Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO). Deze uitvoerende instantie van de Rijksoverheid controleert en beheert diploma’s behaald aan Nederlandse onderwijsinstellingen in een centraal diplomaregister.

Education check through our professional data supplier

The advantage of our partnership with DUO is the direct contact so that diplomas can be checked rapidly. This contributes to a shorter processing time for the complete employment screening. In addition, the security of personal data can be guaranteed continuously by working together with professional data suppliers.

If a diploma does not appear in the DUO diploma register, Validata will contact the respective educational institution.

Diploma check for foreign studies

International diplomas can also be checked. For this, Validata works closely with Nuffic and Qualification Check. Nuffic is a Dutch independent non-profit organisation focused on internationalisation in education and, like DUO, Nuffic analyses the authenticity and validity of the relevant diplomas. It also checks whether the educational institution is accredited in its country of origin.

International diploma and Dutch equivalent

Lastly, Nuffic and Qualification Check identifies the Dutch equivalent to which the international diploma can be compared. For example, a university or bachelor’s degree. As there are no senior secondary vocational education courses (MBO) outside of the Netherlands, there is no appropriate comparison to be made.

An additional charge applies for verifying an international diploma. You will receive this invoice as soon as Validata has requested the verification from Nuffic. The average processing time is ten working days.

Why not choose to screen employees?

Too expensive

Turn card around

By screening your employees, it will immediately save your HR department time. Additionally, you save costs in the long run. Hiring a mis-hire involves significant costs and other risks. By knowing who you are hiring, you minimise the risks. At the end of the day, you’ll spend less money.

Creates distrust

Turn card around

Screening employees can actually contribute to a sense of security and trust within an organisation. When your employees know that colleagues have gone through the same screening process, you immediately create a safer and more trustworthy working environment.

Takes too long

Turn card around

Through our automated screening process, you will receive the screening report within 5 working days and you can view the interim screening report 24/7. Thanks to our software, data partners and integration partners, such as AFAS software, this process is streamlined and efficiently organised.

Why conduct an Education check via Validata?

Validata addresses your concerns: As soon as you have registered a (potential) employee and have chosen the matching screening profile, Validata takes the entire screening process off your hands. You can review the results of the Education check in the screening report.
Checks beyond the diploma register: Is a diploma not listed in the DUO register? Then Validata will contact the respective educational institution.
Specialises in employment screening: Validata has specialised in employment screening since 2009. Due to our many years of experience, we offer a fast and efficient screening process that complies with current (privacy) laws and regulations.
