Request a quote
Why requesting a quote though the Van Haren Group?
The Van Haren Group acts as a central hub that connects clients (like your organization) with their official network of providers, ensuring quality and consistency.
The process is designed to deliver a high-confidence, competitively sourced quote where the client benefits from:
- Quality: Guaranteed use of officially accredited and recognized courseware.
- Convenience: A single point of contact for quotes from an extensive network.
- Optimization: Mediation to find the partner who offers the best combination of service, price, and logistical fit for your specific training need.
How does it work?
1. Client Needs Assessment
The Request: When a client submits a quote request (for training, eLearning, or courseware), it often relates to well-defined global standards (like TOGAF, ArchiMate, ITIL, PRINCE2, etc.) for which Van Haren is a key publisher of content and syllabi.
Defining Scope: The initial step involves understanding the client’s specifics: the number of delegates, preferred location (in-house vs. public), preferred format (classroom vs. eLearning), and the specific certification or competence goal.
2. Consolidation through Accredited Partners
This is where the unique value of the Van Haren Group comes in:
Accredited Education Partners (AEPs): Van Haren maintains an extensive, vetted network of “Accredited Education Partners” (AEPs) and Education Partners. These are the training organizations authorized to deliver courses based on Van Haren’s published, high-quality, and recognized courseware.
Quality Assurance: By working exclusively through this network, Van Haren consolidates quality. They ensure the quote you receive is based on materials that are current, officially recognized, and aligned with global standards.
Scale and Reach: They can instantly consolidate pricing and availability from partners who operate locally, nationally, or internationally, depending on the client’s geographical requirements.
3. Mediation for Best Service and Fit
The “mediation” aspect is about finding the optimal match and value:
Best-Fit Provider: Instead of simply sending the request to every partner, Van Haren uses its knowledge of its network to match the client with the best-suited Accredited Partner. This could be based on the partner’s local presence, specific expertise in an advanced topic, or ability to deliver at a certain scale or price point.
Streamlined Procurement: For the client, this simplifies the procurement process. You don’t have to request quotes from a dozen different training providers; Van Haren does the initial consolidation and competitive sourcing for you.
Content and Delivery Synergy: The mediation ensures that the delivery service (the partner’s training) is perfectly aligned with the course content (Van Haren’s courseware), eliminating gaps and ensuring a cohesive learning experience.
