About EDUCOM

EDUCOM has been founded by Ton de Rooij. Initially EDUCOM focussed on education. In time more activities became part of what EDUCOM does:
  • - writing books
  • - developing exams and examination itself
  • - organizing workshops
  • - developing workshops
  • - consultancy
In 2018 the publishing of books was added to the list of activities.

EDUCOM is established in Woerden. Woerden is a central location. As a result course participants do not have to traval far. This is why participants come to EDUCOM from a large part of The Netherlands for the open roster workshops.
