\n

As a company, you can receive the so-called SOOB subsidy for taking certain courses to become an ADR driver<\/a> (among others). In this way, this foundation encourages training in the transportation and logistics sector. Special Cargo is a certified trainer for this type of grant process. To qualify for it, you must go through several steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The transportation and logistics sector has a great need for well-trained employees. That is why the SOOB (Stichting Opleidings- en Ontwikkelingsfonds Beroepsgoederenvervoer) provides subsidies for taking certain training courses.
The SOOB is part of the Transport and Logistics Sector (STL). STL has awarded SCS Training & Consultancy BV (brand name: Special Cargo College) the certificate ‘certified trainer Transport & Logistics’. This means that our organization and our training courses meet the requirements for granting the SOOB subsidy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

A company can only apply for a subsidy if it remits to the SOOB. If so, you can register with the SOOB by creating an account through the SOOB Subsidy Point<\/a>. Afterwards, you will receive an email with login details. With this personal login, you can then submit a request to reserve the grant amount for a particular course through the same website. In your file, you can then view the status of your application, make any changes and upload additional documents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

What do we do?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

If you have already registered a company account on the SOOB Subsidy Point<\/a>, you can also let us, SCS Training & Consultancy, handle the subsidy application. To do so, enter the employee’s contact email address, Chamber of Commerce number, VAT number and employee number on the SCS Training & Consultancy registration form. You will receive confirmation of your enrollment from STL.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
