What is the STAP budget?

The STAP budget is a grant of 1,000 euros that everyone in the Netherlands receives for attending training. The government awards this subsidy six times a year and upcoming Tuesday 1 November at 10:00 is the next budget round. Previous times, the budget ran out within hours, so make sure you get there on time.

Locations throughout the Netherlands

The Wine & Food Academy has training locations throughout the Netherlands. In addition, the locations are very atmospheric and breathe wine. Think of the atmospheric vineyard Amstel Garden in Amsterdam and the cosy wine bar Roemer in Utrecht. Finally, training locations in The Hague, Den Bosch and Maastricht will soon follow. As a result, there is always a location near you to take a wine course.
