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.
In a press conference on October 13, 2020, the government announced new measures and recommendations, with the aim of reducing the number of corona infections. We follow national guidelines and where necessary the policy with regard to corona has been tightened. Aeres urges everyone within the organization to take the measures to heart, so that the corona virus has as little chance as possible to spread further. A number of important measures at a glance:
The policy on working from home or on location has not changed. Aeres' educational activities will continue as we do to date. Where this takes place on location, the teaching staff and the necessary support staff are present. Other employees, who do not necessarily need to be present for the primary process, work from home unless there is no other option.
The Aeres organisation remains reluctant to organise meetings outside of education, such as open days. The advice is to organize the meeting online, if possible, in order to prevent people from different households from coming into contact with each other.
If people do come together physically for the meeting, a maximum group size of 30 people applies, with due observance of the applicable corona guidelines.
The maximum of 30 people does not apply to meetings directly related to education, such as teacher meetings, lessons and trainings.
Tightened corona measures were announced in the cabinet press conference on September 28, 2020. These measures take effect on September 29 and are valid for three weeks. In response to this, the following applies within the Aeres organization:
The guidelines of the RIVM are leading and in addition, the educational institutions follow the protocols for each sector. We remain vigilant, with the aim of always creating a healthy learning and working environment for our pupils, students, course participants and employees.
Attention: this information has been updated on Tuesday July 7, 2020.
In December 2019 the outbreak of the coronavirus started in the Wuhan region in China. Since then it is detected in many countries and measures are taken worldwide to prevent the coronavirus from further spreading. Aeres is following the national guidelines of the Ministery of Foreign Affairs (travel advice) and the RIVM, the national Institute for Public Health and the Environment.
Important information about the coronavirus and, more specific, the measures Aeres takes in case of emergency, will be shared on this page. All Aeres schools and locations follow these guidelines and measures.
Patients infected with the coronavirus have a fever and respiratory symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath and pneumonia.
Prevent infection or virus spreading:
Contact your GP (doctor’s office) if:
you have a fever above 38 degrees with respiratory symptoms (coughing or shortness of breath)
DO NOT visit the GP (doctor’s office) but contact them by phone and follow their instructions.
Visit the website of the RIVM for more information.
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.
