In this section you can read the latest specific updates for Aeres Tech. Below these updates you will find the latest general updates and general information that apply throughout Aeres.
The Dutch government has announced that nationally all schools will close for the period from March 16 to April 6. On March 13 Aeres Tech suspended all educational activities from March 16 until March 20 at its location. Due to the measures taken by The Dutch government, this has been extended until April 6.
In consultation with the board of Aeres and with the business community, the decision was made to suspend all educational activities from Aeres Tech from Monday 16 to Friday 20 March. We are working to resolve potential problems that may arise from these measures. Of course, the health and safety of our students, trainees and employees come first. We are convinced that in good cooperation and consultation we can manage the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak. Stay tuned to this website for actual information on coronavirus policies in the near future. For urgent questions, please contact Jaap Wouda (Marketing & Communication) on +31 6 20 01 42 74 or by email: j.wouda@aeres.nl. New training dates will be planned soon.
Until 1 September 2020, there will be no internships, excursions or study trips for students within Aeres, even to countries for which the travel advice has been relaxed. As of September 1 it is only in certain cases possible to travel for work or study purposes. We always follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in our travelling policy. This means that it is not allowed to travel internationally to countries that are marked as a red or orange zone for travel. If you would like to travel to a country that is designated as a yellow zone for travel, you will have to discuss this with your teacher.
In case of a lockdown of a country Aeres will not be responsible for costs of return or other costs that are related to the lockdown.
The relaxations announced by the government on July 24 with regard to the corona measures offer extra space for Aeres' educational activities.
Aeres VMBO
For Aeres VMBO, education will return to normal as of the start of the 2020/21 school year. The one and a half meter rule between students is canceled. However, they must keep a distance of one and a half meters from the (teaching) staff. The one and a half meter rule also remains in force for employees themselves.
Aeres University of Applied Science (Aeres UAS) and Aeres MBO
For Aeres UAS and Aeres MBO, more education is possible on location as of the start of the 2020/21 study year. However, the one and a half meter rule remains in full force for students and staff. The institutions are therefore preparing for a combination of on-site and online education. The best way to fill this in is determined per grade and per location.
Aeres Tech and Aeres Training Centers
The commercial trainings that take place within Aeres Tech and the Aeres Training Centers, will again take place in the normal way from July 1, with due observance of the one and a half meter rule.
Trips abroad
Until 1 September 2020, there will be no internships, excursions or study trips for students within Aeres, even to countries for which the travel advice has been relaxed. At the beginning of July, Aeres will decide on the possible space that will arise again after 1 September 2020. The travel advice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be leading in this.
Open days and events
From 1 July 2020, open days and other events can be prepared and / or organized within Aeres. The RIVM guidelines must be adhered to at all times. This means, among other things, that the one and a half meter rule is applied and, if applicable, the maximums set for the number of visitors inside or outside.
