Growth Tribe is a community of like-minded and forward thinking individuals who understand that learning should be an everyday experience, as well as an enjoyable one.
The cross-functional UX Design course gave me everything needed to find a suitable job for me. I think it has the perfect combination of learning and hands-on experience. I would definitely recommend it!
This course is a must-attend for both data enthusiasts and non-data specialists. I came into this course thinking it would be hard to follow, but the trainers and workshop itself made me understand that this is a skill set we can all learn and need now (not to mention the multitude of tools you get as well to start applying the learnings immediately).
Growth Tribe delivers extremely good value for money and they are able to make complex matters very accessible. Their workshops are fast-paced, easy to grasp and full of useful tools.
As a brand and marketing professional, I found the course entry to approaching my work in a more data-driven and analytical way. I know I will start benefiting from this new knowledge from the first day back in the office. So the investment in terms of time and money will be immediate to both me and my company.
I just really enjoy the way GT cuts all unnecessary and complicated things and motivates everyone to just go for it. Start, get your data right, make the right decision, fail and just adjust. Even from a corporate perspective it is liberating and just so true; just do it.
If you need a course in which you want to learn every part of data analytics, this is the course!
I was looking for a robust introduction to Data Analysis so that I could more accurately estimate my own abilities within the field. I got exactly what I was looking for and now feel confident to perform Data Analysis on my own projects :) Thank you so much GT!
This course is a great way to dive into the world of data analytics. Not only will it expand your knowledge of theory and tools, it also helps you put theory into practice right away. The instructors are extremely helpful and always willing to help you push your development further. Definitely recommend!
Growth Tribe challenges the status quo of universities / MBA programs / etc which have fallen behind in terms of teaching people skills for the data age. You learn far more in one of their 12-week classes than an entire top-tier 3-year degree.

However, even if you don’t seem to meet these requirements, it’s worth double-checking! Log in at https://www.stapuwv.nl/login and click on “Vraag STAP-budget aan” to see if you’re eligible.
The government has allocated funding for STAP through 2026. STAP money becomes available in two-month windows. For 2022, about €32M in funds (enough for about 320,000 people) will be released at the start of March, May, July, September, and November. Details about budget availability and the next subsidy period opening date can be found here.
Each time more funding is released, it’s allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Demand is high, so you need to be quick! This is why it’s key that you pre-register with us and finalise your application in the STAP portal as soon as you can when your funding window opens.
If the budget for the period in which you’re applying gets used up before you’re approved, you can reapply in the next period by re-submitting this form.
It’s simple - all of them!
STAP funds up to €1000 in training costs per eligible person per year. This amount entirely covers the cost of our on-demand courses and partially covers our live course fees.
If you opt to apply for the STAP budget for a live course, you’ll be contacted to pay the ticket cost above the €1000 paid by STAP before your seat's fully reserved.

You'll find more information from STAP on this process here. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to switch courses once you’ve been approved.
If you've been approved and already started your course, unfortunately, it's no longer possible to cancel with us. You can withdraw your STAP subsidy with the government if they allow, but you are still financially liable for your course with us.
