Covid-19 information for students
Update February 16, 2022
During the press conference on Tuesday the 15th of February 2022, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). Since Wednesday the 26th of January 2022 (following the press conference on the 25th of January 2022), classroom education is permitted again.
The following applies to students of the ACC:
From the 18th of February 2022
Assigned seating, wearing a face mask and keeping a distance of 1.5 metres are no longer compulsory from the 18th of February 2022. Until the 25th of February 2022, in some locations, it is still mandatory to show a Corona check for admission upon entry (if this is the case at your location, we have already informed you of this by email). For other locations this measure does not apply. The ACC has no influence on this, nor are we involved in the actual check for admission. It is the training location itself that is fully responsible for the checking procedure and policy. For further questions about Corona check for admission, we kindly ask you to contact your training location directly.
From the 25th of February 2022
The Corona check for admission will no longer be used.
We urgently ask you not to come to the class day if you:
- Have corona related symptoms. When you have a cold (such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat) you should stay at home. Also when you experience coughing, shortness of breath, a fever (above 38 degrees) or sudden loss of smell and/or taste (without nasal congestion).
- Have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for corona within the last 10 days.
- Have been in contact with someone who is currently being tested for corona and has not yet obtained a (negative) test result.
- If one of your housemates or partner/child has corona-related symptoms.
If you cannot join the class day please notify your trainer immediately.
What to do when you have to miss a class day due to corona regulations:
When you are unable to participate in class due to corona symptoms, you will be assigned a buddy from within your group (one of your fellow students), who will practice the exercises from that class day with you afterwards. You will then write a report about this for the teacher. If the teacher assesses this report as sufficient, the class day still counts as a completed class day (due to the 80% attendance requirement). Please note that you can compensate a maximum of 2 class days this way in order to still obtain your diploma.
The teacher will also try to set up a video connection, so you can still attend the class day online when you are not able to participate due to corona. This solution is not guaranteed, but the teacher will certainly do his/her best to arrange this. NB: even when you attend class this way, you will still have to practise with your buddy for this day to count as ‘attended’.
Of course we hope that you will all stay healthy, and that you can attend the class days, but these measures are in place to keep the class days safe for everyone and still offer a suitable solution for people who cannot attend.
If you have any questions about this, or when in doubt about participating, please contact your teacher to discuss. If things need to be discussed with us, we will of course be available as well.
Update January 26, 2022
During the press conference on Tuesday the 25th of January 2022, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures that will take effect from Wednesday the 26th of January 2022. Classroom education is permitted again by the Dutch government. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). Classroom education will therefore continue from Wednesday the 26th of January 2022 for all students of the ACC.
The following regulations apply to students of the ACC:
1.5 metres
The 1.5 metres distance rule is compulsory for all adults (aged 18+) in public spaces. We therefore ask you to keep a distance of 1.5 metres from each other inside the training location and classrooms. This also applies to locations where a Corona check for admission is required.
Face masks
Wearing a face mask is mandatory in public indoor spaces. Please click here for more information about the obligation to wear face masks. A face mask is also compulsory in places where a Corona check for admission is required. This means that you are required to wear a face mask on the premises and in the public corridors. As long as a minimum distance of 1.5 metres can be maintained inside the classroom, you do not need to wear a face mask during the lessons (once you have taken a seat).
There is an exception for people who cannot wear a face mask due to their disability or illness. This applies to visible as well as invisible limitations or illnesses. If you cannot wear a face mask, please notify your teacher. This can be done by email prior to the class day, or at the location before the start of the class day. Also notify the manager of the location on arrival that the exception to the rule applies to you. Read more about the exception here (please scroll down to Exemption for people with a disability or health condition).
Corona check for admission (QR code)
The measures that were already in place at the class locations (as a result of the press conference on the 15th of September 2021) remain valid. For some locations, this means that it is mandatory to show a Corona check for admission upon entry (if this is the case at your location, we have already informed you of this by email). For other locations this measure does not apply. The ACC has no influence on this, nor are we involved in the actual check for admission. It is the training location itself that is fully responsible for the checking procedure and policy. For further questions about Corona check for admission, we kindly ask you to contact your training location directly.
Having said this, we would like to stress the importance of adhering to the corona measures. Please follow the protocol below carefully, to warrant your own safety and that of others.

- Have corona related symptoms. When you have a cold (such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat) you should stay at home. Also when you experience coughing, shortness of breath, a fever (above 38 degrees) or sudden loss of smell and/or taste (without nasal congestion).
- Have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for corona within the last 10 days.
- Have been in contact with someone who is currently being tested for corona and has not yet obtained a (negative) test result.
- If one of your housemates or partner/child has corona-related symptoms.

Update January 17, 2022
During the press conference on Friday the 14th of January 2022, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures that came into effect on Saturday the 15th of January 2022. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). The measures that were presented on the 14th of January will apply until Tuesday the 25th of January 2022.
For government-recognised education, classroom education is permitted by the Dutch government. However, the ACC’s training programmes fall under non-government-recognised education. At the moment, there is still a lack of clarity regarding the exact rules for classroom education for non-government-recognised education. We are therefore awaiting the announced press conference on the 25th of January 2022 to provide more information on classroom education after this date.
We will post a new update the day after the press conference (by the Dutch government) on the 25th of January with information on the possibility of continuing our classroom education. If the ACC can share information with you earlier, we will inform you on this page. Please note that this means that your next class day may take place online.
Update December 20, 2021
During the press conference on Saturday the 18th of December 2021, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures that will take effect from Sunday the 19th of December 2021. Classroom education is not allowed by the government. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). The new measures will apply until Friday the 14th of January 2022.
The ACC will inform students who have a scheduled class between Sunday the 19th of December 2021 and Friday the 14th of January 2022 of the follow-up measures by email no later than the first week of January 2022. If the measures are extended beyond Friday the 14th of January 2022, we will also inform students who have a scheduled class after this date of the follow-up steps by email. Possible follow-up steps are that the classes will be organised online or that the classes will be rescheduled to another date, depending on the possibilities per training programme.
Update December 15, 2021
During the press conference on Tuesday the 14th of December 2021, the government extended the existing Corona measures until Friday the 14th of January 2022. This means that the measures below are still in effect and there are no changes compared to the information shared by the ACC on the 29th of November 2021.
Classroom education remains permitted by the Dutch government. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). Classroom education will therefore also continue after the 14th of December 2021 at the ACC.
The following measures apply to students of the ACC:
1.5 metres
1.5 metres distance is compulsory for all adults aged 18 and over. We therefore ask you to keep a distance of 1.5 metres from each other in the building and classrooms where the lessons take place. This also applies to locations where a Corona check for admission is required.
Face masks
Wearing a face mask is mandatory in public indoor areas. Please click here for more information about the obligation to wear face masks on the website of the Dutch government.
There is an exception for people who cannot wear a face mask due to their disability or illness. This applies to visible as well as invisible limitations or illnesses. If you cannot wear a face mask, please notify your teacher. This can be done by email prior to the class day, or at the location before the start of the class day. Also notify the manager of the location on arrival that the exception to the rule applies to you. Read more about the exception here (please scroll down to Exempted from wearing face masks).
We kindly ask you to take off your face mask when practising the assignments with your fellow students. Non-verbal communication is important during practice and wearing a face mask hinders the interaction between the coach and the client. We do ask you to keep enough distance between you and your fellow students.
A face mask is not compulsory in places where a Corona check for admission is required.
Closing locations between 5.00 PM and 5.00 AM
For the ACC, closing locations for events between 5.00 PM and 05.00 AM has no consequences, since our classes all end at 5.00 PM. We kindly ask you to leave the class location at 5.00 PM.

What to do when you have to miss a class day due to corona regulations:
When you are unable to participate in class due to corona symptoms, you will be assigned a buddy from within your group (one of your fellow students), who will practice the exercises from that class day with you afterwards.

Update November 29, 2021
During the press conference on Friday the 26th of November 2021, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures that will take effect from Sunday the 28th of November 2021. Classroom education remains permitted by the Dutch government. The ACC follows the guidelines for classroom education of the Dutch government and the NRTO (Dutch Council for Training and Education). Classroom education will therefore also continue after Sunday the 28th of November 2021 at the ACC.
The following measures apply to students of the ACC:
1.5 metres
1.5 metres distance is compulsory for all adults aged 18 and over. We therefore ask you to keep a distance of 1.5 metres from each other in the building and classrooms where the lessons take place. This also applies to locations where a Corona check for admission is required.

Update November 15, 2021
During the press conference on Friday the 12th of November 2021, the Dutch government announced new Corona measures. For students of the ACC, however, these new measures have no consequences, compared to the still valid measures from the press conference of the 2nd of November 2021:
1.5 metres
We kindly ask you to follow the government’s urgent advice and keep 1.5 metres of distance from each other.
Corona check for admission (QR code)
For the ACC, the expansion of locations where a Corona check for admission is required does not have any consequences at the moment. The measures that were already in place at the class locations (as a result of the press conference on the 15th of September 2021) remain valid. For some locations, this means that it is mandatory to show a Corona check for admission upon entry (if this is the case at your location, we have already informed you of this by email). For other locations this measure does not apply. The ACC has no influence on this, nor are we involved in the actual check for admission. It is the training location itself that is fully responsible for the checking procedure and policy. For further questions about Corona check for admission, we kindly ask you to contact your training location directly.
Face masks
For now, we assume that face masks are not required at our locations. The locations where our classes take place either use a Corona check for admission (in which case a face mask is not required) and other locations do not require a face mask. If you would prefer to wear a face mask, you are of course free to do so. We kindly ask you to take off your face mask when practising the assignments with your fellow students. Non-verbal communication is important during practice and wearing a face mask hinders the interaction between the coach and the client. We do ask you to keep enough distance between you and your fellow students.
Having said this, we would like to stress the importance of adhering to the corona measures. Please follow the protocol below carefully, to warrant your own safety and that of others.
We urgently ask you not to come to the class day if you:
- Have corona related symptoms. When you have a cold (such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat) you should stay at home. Also when you experience coughing, shortness of breath, a fever (above 38 degrees) or sudden loss of smell and/or taste (without nasal congestion).
- Have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for corona within the last 10 days.
- Have been in contact with someone who is currently being tested for corona and has not yet obtained a (negative) test result.
- If one of your housemates or partner/child has corona-related symptoms.
If you cannot join the class day please notify your trainer immediately.
What to do when you have to miss a class day due to corona regulations:
When you are unable to participate in class due to corona symptoms, you will be assigned a buddy from within your group (one of your fellow students), who will practice the exercises from that class day with you afterwards. You will then write a report about this for the teacher. If the teacher assesses this report as sufficient, the class day still counts as a completed class day (due to the 80% attendance requirement). Please note that you can compensate a maximum of 2 class days this way in order to still obtain your diploma.
The teacher will also try to set up a video connection, so you can still attend the class day online when you are not able to participate due to corona.

If you have any questions about this, or when in doubt about participating, please contact your teacher to discuss. If things need to be discussed with us, we will of course be available as well.
Update September 15, 2021
As a result of the press conference on Tuesday the 14th of September 2021, the one and a half metre measure will cease to apply as of Saturday the 25th of September 2021, but a Corona check for admission will apply in certain locations, amongst which all places of hospitality. This includes training locations that offer hospitality (cafes and restaurants) as part of their facility. The ACC has no influence on this, nor are we involved in the actual check for admission. It is the training location itself that is fully responsible for the checking procedure and policy. We will communicate to all our current and future students what this means for their specific location by email. For further questions about Corona check for admission, we kindly ask you to contact your training location directly.
Update February 24, 2021
At the press conference of 23 February 2021, our Prime Minister announced that the current lockdown measures will be extended until at least March 15th. This means that classroom education will not be possible for our training programmes in this period, and that our classes will continue online. For the new groups that are planned to start before March 15th this means that the first class day(s) will take place online via Zoom. Further instructions on this will be sent to you soon. Should things change before 15 March, we will inform you by e-mail and via the website.
Update February 3, 2021
At the press conference on February 2, 2021, our Prime Minister announced that the current lockdown measures, including education other than primary schools, will be extended until at least 2 March 2021. For the time being, our courses will continue online. If this changes before the 2nd of March, we will inform you by e-mail and via the website.
Update January 13, 2021
At the press conference on January 12, 2021, our Prime Minister announced that the current lockdown measures will be extended until at least February 9. He said that education could possibly (under certain conditions) start earlier. It is still unknown when this will apply and whether this will also apply to our courses. For the time being, our courses will continue online. If this changes before February 9, we will inform you by e-mail and via the website.
Update December 15, 2020
As a result of the lockdown that started today, the lessons will take place online until at least January 19.
Update December 1, 2020
From December 1, 2020, a face mask is mandatory in public indoor spaces. For educational institutes there is an obligation to wear a face mask while moving around in public areas (corridors, toilets, stairwells, elevators, etc.). As soon as the student has entered the classroom and has sat down, the face mask may be removed.
There is an exception for people who cannot wear a face mask due to their disability or illness. This applies to visible as well as invisible limitations or illnesses. If you cannot wear a face mask, please notify your teacher. This can be done by email prior to the class day, or at the location before the start of the class day. Also notify the manager of the location on arrival that the exception to the rule applies to you. Read more about the exception here (in Dutch).
Update November 6, 2020
The new corona-measures that were announced during last Tuesday’s press conference left doubts for several days as to whether classroom education was still allowed to continue. The government initially made no clear statements about this. Yesterday evening however, our branch organisation NRTO announced that an exception has again been made for the education sector. All security regions have included an exemption in their emergency ordinances for training and educational activities. This means that our training programmes will continue in class.
Of course, our corona policy remains in place: please abide by the measures of the RIVM, and if you have symptoms, stay at home! As we mentioned earlier, if you cannot attend in person, there is still the possibility to attend via a live-stream. Please contact your teacher about this when needed.
Update November 4, 2020
Following the new government corona-measures of November 3rd, we are currently considering how these measures will affect the continuation of our classroom education. We are currently awaiting the advice of our branch organisation NRTO. As soon as we have received that advice, we will report further on this page.
Update October 13, 2020
Classroom teaching is still possible after the measures announced on October 13, 2020. The government indicates that education is very important and must continue in the normal way for the time being, with a maximum of 30 people in the groups. The ACC will therefore continue with the classroom lessons until further notice.
There is no obligation to use a face mask yet, but there is an urgent request from the government to wear a face mask in educational institutes while moving around in public areas (corridors, toilets, stairwells, elevators, etc.). As soon as the student has entered the classroom and has sat down, the face mask may be removed.
The restaurants will be closed for the next few weeks, which means that lunch can no longer be purchased at our locations. So please bring your own lunch to the class day!
Update October 1, 2020
This statement has been drawn up in consultation with our branch organisation NRTO. The government announcement to wear a face mask in public indoor spaces is for now an advice only, and not an obligation. The NRTO indicates that the government’s advice for wearing face masks mainly concerns situations when people move around in public indoor spaces: in corridors, elevators, stair wells, toilets, etc., because keeping 1.5 meters away is difficult in these areas. The advice/request is to put a mask on when you move around in public indoor spaces, and to take it off again when you sit down (with at least 1,5 meters distance from others).
Our point of view:
As a student you are of course free to wear a face mask to class. This is however not mandatory.
Having said this, we do find it quite undesirable to wear a mask while practicing with your fellow students on the class days. If you would like to wear a face mask, we kindly ask you to take this off while practicing the assignments with your fellow students. Coaching is a profession in which clear and personal interaction between people is paramount. Wearing a face mask prevents people from seeing each other’s facial expressions and with this, a large part of the contact/rapport will be taken away. So in short: you are free to wear a face mask, but we would kindly ask you to practice without the mask, while of course maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 meters for everyone’s safety.
If you want to wear a face mask during the class days, we kindly ask you to bring sufficient clean face masks with you per class day, and to put on a clean mask at least every 3 hours, or when the mask has become damp/wet. This is important for your own health (otherwise you will breath in your own bacteria/viruses all day long) and for the health of your classmates. The accumulated bacteria and viruses can otherwise still be transmitted. For an instructional video about how to safely put on and take off a face mask, please click here.
Update September 28, 2020
Teaching in class is still possible with the current Covid-19 measures. The prime minister announced that gathering in groups of up to 30 people is allowed. Also, traveling to cities for education purposes is allowed and possible.
We have therefore decided that our classroom programmes will continue as usual for the time being. Should anything change due to the announcement of new measures, we will of course notify you immediately.
Having said this, we would like to stress the importance of adhering to the corona measures. Please follow the protocol below carefully, to warrant your own safety and that of others:
Prior to the class days:
We urgently ask you not to come to the class day if you:
- Have corona related symptoms. When you have a cold (such as a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat) you should stay at home. Also when you experience coughing, shortness of breath, a fever (above 38 degrees) or sudden loss of smell and/or taste (without nasal congestion).
- Have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for corona within the last 10 days.
- Have been in contact with someone who is currently being tested for corona and has not yet obtained a (negative) test result.
- If one of your housemates or partner/child has corona-related symptoms.
- If you have been in an area with an ‘orange’ or ‘red’ travel advice in the last 10 days.
If you cannot join the class day please notify your trainer Betty Bonnema immediately. You can call or send her a text message at +31 6 11 45 92 52.
Please use the attached checklist when in doubt.
During the class days:
- Please wash your hands upon arrival.
- If you do need to cough or sneeze, please do so into your elbow and not your hands.
- Keep a 1,5 meter distance from others.
The teacher has the right to refuse participation in class, and send students home who show signs of illness on/during the day.
What to do when you have to miss a class day due to corona regulations:
When you are unable to participate in class due to corona symptoms, you will be assigned a buddy from within your group (one of your fellow students), who will practice the exercises from that class day with you afterwards. You will then write a report about this for the teacher. If the teacher assesses this report as sufficient, the class day still counts as a completed class day (due to the 80% attendance requirement). Please note that you can compensate a maximum of 2 class days this way in order to still obtain your diploma.
The teacher will also try to set up a video connection, so you can still attend the class day online when you are not able to participate due to corona. This solution is not guaranteed, but the teacher will certainly do his/her best to arrange this. NB: even when you attend class this way, you will still have to practise with your buddy for this day to count as ‘attended’.
The teacher will explain all this to you further on the first day of class.
Of course we hope that you will all stay healthy, and that you can attend the class days, but these measures are in place to keep the class days safe for everyone and still offer a suitable solution for people who cannot attend.
If you have any questions about this, or when in doubt about participating, please contact your teacher to discuss. If things need to be discussed with us, we will of course be available as well.
