Its origins are in the driving-school sector, but the field is far broader now: vocational training, CCV, Code 95, first-aid and safety certification, continuing education and professional courses.
Where most suppliers solve one link in the chain, Dation covers the whole of it: course material, scheduling, administration, communication, certification and reporting. That saves providers from stitching together five systems that don't understand each other.
- Uitgeverij Smit / RijschoolserviceDigital learning materials, teaching methods and educational content. Part of Dation Groep since September 2025.
- Opleidingsplatform.nlPlatform for organising, managing and delivering training. Part of the group since 2021.
- Dation RijschoolsoftwareLeading ERP platform for driving schools and training institutes.
- RijbewijsAppLearning and communication platform for students, instructors and providers.
Hundreds of driving schools and thousands of instructors work with Dation. With Uitgeverij Smit joining in 2025 — a publisher Elt Smit spent almost forty years building — theory and practice came together in a single learning path for the first time.
Every transition runs into the same wall: people who have to be able to do the work. By making training more scalable, more accessible and more efficient, Dation helps providers prepare skilled people for work that is changing fast.
