For its internal Learning Square, Bartiméus was looking for a future-proof solution. After a thorough tendering process, Procademy turned out to be the right partner. Advisor Learning & Development Barbara Zoomer explains what was important to Bartiméus in addition to the extensive selection criteria: "We were not looking for a supplier, but for a partner. Our organization is quite complex and changeable, including three different CAOs and different needs. Then it is nice when a party thinks and advises with you. In any case, cooperation is best with the idea that you are building something together."  

"With Procademy , we share our knowledge better and make the lives of blind and visually impaired people easier."

Read the interview with Imke van Kats and Barbara Zoomer and find out how Bartiméus has set up its learning platforms with Procademy.

"We are there for all students who follow the Building, Living and Interiors direction at VMBO. We work for 180 schools, with some 5,000 students using our learning resources platform."

"We already had experience with Learning Management Software. What we mostly ran into was that the software was not being developed fast enough. The capabilities were not state-of-the-art and contemporary educational principles, so the user experience was not optimal. We also noticed that we could not exert enough influence on the roadmap. Specific wishes, which are very important in our daily practice, thus took too long to implement. That's why we started talking to a number of clubs and eventually ended up at Procademy ."

"Stability is almost invaluable for online learning tools in schools at all, Cor explains, "If a class is sitting there on Monday morning ready to take a test that was studied hard over the weekend and the whole thing doesn't work, then of course the teacher has a huge problem."

"There really is a partnership. This is expressed in a lot of consultation, in thinking along from the perspective of Procademy to develop education-specific wishes and the willingness to take care of some of the improvements themselves.

Online materials should be accessible to everyone. That is beyond dispute for PGOsupport. Digital accessibility is therefore a must for us. People with a visual, motor, auditory or cognitive disability must be able to find their way around our website and learning platform. The reason why we adhere to the guidelines for digital accessibility WCAG 2.0. From a technical point of view, this requires quite a bit from a learning platform. Finding a partner who understands and can do this is essential.

Procademy has been working with the Accessibility Foundation since 2017, making accessibility a top priority. Because of this we had a good match right away. Accessibility experts and visually impaired test subjects tested the software several times.

In our choice process for an online learning platform, cooperation, or even partnership, was also extremely important. And that turned out very well with Procademy. Sometimes something seems convenient and somehow the people of Procademy so good that the translation of our wish always leads to an appropriate answer. Then they build it. What I find very clever about it is that they develop it in such a way that it is ultimately also useful for other clients. Procademy thinks in sustainable solutions.

We also get feedback from them. Have you thought about here and here? It's really an interaction where we pull each other to the next level. This and the rest of the cooperation offers a lot of opportunities for us.

It had to become much more fun to learn and develop yourself via Vakmedianet. We wanted to make our e-learning much more interactive with videos and different test forms. This was all possible with procademy . You can choose from a wide range of interactive exercises and test questions.

The new LMS had to be ready to use, look attractive and be user-friendly, both for the person who would be setting up the e-learning and for the end users. With procademy we could get started right away. It has an intuitive environment and is easy to use. After a short explanation it was just a matter of doing it. Learning by doing, so to speak. And that is what practice has proven to be.

Because we opted for an existing 'fixed' LMS, we also wanted it to be continuously developed. Procademy fortunately does not stand still. They are innovative and have an international network. We are kept well informed of new developments and functionalities through newsletters and conversations. 

Our starting point may well be that we use as much as possible of what we have. However, we are pleased to say that procademy allows for customisation. In addition to an 'all you can eat' package of e-learning, we can now also offer individual e-learning in a catalogue to professionals.

Procademy 's LMS has really made a difference for us. Before working with Procademy , we had built our own learning environment in Wordpress. This allowed us to offer our customers, often smaller healthcare institutions, an affordable solution. But as the number of customers grew, we ran into limits: a lot of manual work, little scalability and no way to create our own learning environment for each organization.

Thanks to Procademy , we were able to take that next step. Processes such as account management and payments are now fully automated, and our users know their way around much more easily. "It all basically works by itself," says Nadine. Moreover, we can now offer healthcare institutions a fully white-labeled learning environment, in their own house style and with their own learning paths.

What especially appeals to us is the cooperation. Procademy actively thinks with us, understands the healthcare sector and is constantly developing. "There is real collaboration," Nadine says. "The flexibility, agility and service orientation at Procademy mean that we can respond quickly to changing demands in healthcare. A new care protocol today? Tomorrow a customized training."

We are so satisfied with the cooperation that we confidently continue to invest in new learning paths through Procademy, for and together with healthcare.
