Stichting TechMeUp Avis 20

TechMeUp heeft mij enorm geholpen toen ik tijdens mijn meerjarige studie mijn reis- en leefkosten niet meer kon betalen. Dankzij hun financiële (rentevrije) ondersteuning heb ik geen studievertraging opgelopen en kon ik mij met een gerust hart volledig focussen op het afronden van mijn studie.

Het team is superlief, betrokken en betrouwbaar. De communicatie is heel laagdrempelig en fijn, en ze denken echt met je mee. Zo is het aanpassen van betaalregelingen totaal geen probleem. Ik stelde zelf voor om hier tijdens mijn stage al mee te beginnen, maar kreeg te horen dat dit helemaal nog niet nodig was als het mij financieel nog niet uitkwam. Dat zegt genoeg over hun vertrouwen en menselijkheid.

Daarnaast biedt TechMeUp ook veel extra ondersteuning, zoals workshops en hulp bij het vinden van werk. Ik kan TechMeUp dan ook van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die het nodig heeft!

It has been almost a year that I have been living in the Netherlands. I wanted to change my career in a new country. They helped me to make my dream true. Thanks to them, I got the education that I needed, and after 6 months, I got a job in tech.
Thank you, TechMeUp Team.

I received a TechMeUp loan in 2024 to join the IronHack Full-Stack Web Development bootcamp, and I’m truly grateful for the support they provided. I successfully completed my bootcamp, and IronHack has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire journey , from learning to job hunting.

A very special thanks to Hisham and Nikky, who have been exceptionally kind, supportive, and always ready to help. Even after completing the program, they continue to guide me, which means a lot.

TechMeUp offers 0% interest loans, making quality education accessible for anyone passionate about improving their career. If you’re considering a bootcamp or any part-time educational program, I strongly recommend TechMeUp. They not only support you financially but also help you explore opportunities aligned with your goals.

I’m truly thankful for their support!

TechMeUp is a life changer. After many attempts I made to take a bootcamp on CyberSecurity and DevOPs delayed due to lack of funds / low budget, my dream is now fulfilled with their support. To be honest when I first heard of them I wasn’t quiet optimistic it makes sense to get funding that easy as they claimed interest free, pay only when you get a job and can afford it etc. But I later just convinced myself to give it a shot and bom!! they approved my bootcamp funding with 7500 euros. I am grateful for their benevolence and vision of helping people with ambition to break into tech!! ❤️

I’m extremely grateful to TechMeUp for all the support they’ve given me, not only with the financing of my bootcamp but also afterward, once I finished the course. They truly care about their students’ success and do everything they can to help us enter the job market.

They offer amazing support with improving your CV and LinkedIn profile, and they organize many online and in-person events that are super helpful for networking and career development. You can really feel that they’re genuinely invested in helping students build their careers in tech.

I couldn’t be more thankful for everything they’ve done for me!

When I came across Tech Me Up, I wondered if I would even be eligible for the help in my situation. I had tried all other avenues and when I decided to hop on an introductory call, I was encouraged to go through the application process and see if things could work out.

I was so glad I did, because the Tech Me Up team did believe in me. I felt so supported in my life situation and it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

Thanks to Tech Me Up, I’ve been able to study again AND as of recent, I’ve been able to secure a job in my new industry.

I owe so much to the team and wouldn’t have been able to make this life change without them. They are so kind and so supportive, thank you!

THEY HELPED ME TO REACH MY GOALS MY DREAMS !!! THANK YOU A LOT I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH 🧡

Ik heb financiële hulp gehad van TechMeUp tijdens mijn meerjarige voltijds opleiding. Het hele proces, van aanmelden tot afbetalen, verliep heel makkelijk. De financiële verlichting die de lening geeft, is geweldig, en omdat het rentevrij is, voelt het niet eens echt als een reguliere lening. (Eigenlijk is dit nog een betere optie dan de stufi van DUO..)

Het team van TechMeUp is heel behulpzaam en geeft ondersteuning en begeleiding op alle vlakken - of het nu gaat om het vinden van een baan, het aanmeldproces of iets aanpassen in de terugbetalingsregeling. Alle communicatie is heel persoonlijk en oprecht, zo fijn! Ik kan het echt iedereen aanraden en zou het zo weer doen!!

Dankzij TechMeUp heb ik mijn omscholing waar kunnen maken en heb ik na 10 jaar zoeken, voor het eerst in mijn leven een vaste, goedbetalende baan in een branche waar ik mijn carriere van kan maken! Ik kreeg persoonlijke hulp, oprechte hulp, kon putten uit kennis van mensen die mij voor zijn gegaan, en later mensen na mij helpen.

Before I applied for a loan from TechMeUp, I attended an introductory session. At that point, I wasn't sure whether I would actually apply. But I thought to myself, even if I wouldn't apply, I'm so happy that I get to meet these kind people with such an awesome initiative. It really is something precious and special.

TechMeUp has supported me so much in going into my IT-study without having to worry about working while following an intensive full-time course. I did end up working whenever I had free time, but I never had to worry about having to. Which helped a lot.

They were very understanding of my situation and helped me go through it in ways many family members and friends couldn't. This kind of support is incredible.

In about two and a half weeks, I’ll finish my studies and begin my new job. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity TechMeUp has given me.

Whenever I talk to people in IT, I mention TMU. I want this initiative to continue and grow, so that others can be supported the way I was.

Heel veel succes!

It almost sounded too good to be true — even fathers don’t usually lend money to their sons without interest. So the idea of getting an interest-free loan while you’re broke and trying to start/switch careers seemed impossible. But once I reached out and learned the details, I realised it really is what they say. No tricky questions, no stress. Just be honest about your situation and show your determination, and the team will support you more than you expect.

TechMeUp really took me up when I needed it most. Wishing good luck to anyone starting their career change — this foundation truly makes a difference for people getting into IT.

My experience with TechMeUp has been very positive. The process of applying for and receiving the loan went smoothly and without any complications. Everything was explained clearly, and whenever I had a question, I received a quick and helpful response.

What I appreciate most is that TechMeUp goes beyond simply providing financial support. The team genuinely shows interest in your learning journey and career ambitions. They don’t just stop at granting a loan but also encourage you to explore possibilities, grow your skills, and feel confident about your future in the job market.

For me, the combination of financial help and personal guidance has been invaluable. TechMeUp is not only an organization but a group of people who are truly dedicated to empowering students and professionals to take the next step in their careers.

Shout out to TechMeUp for their amazing work! Thanks to them I was able to break in Tech.

TechMeUp came into my life at my lowest moment and made a real difference. Their support and guidance gave me the boost at the right moment, helping me rebuild my confidence and take a decisive step forward. Thanks to their encouragement, I enrolled in a boot camp and started a new chapter with renewed motivation

I cannot describe how grateful I am to TechMeUp for all the work they have done!

I think, for immigrants, it is almost impossible to get a loan for education, but TechMeUp believed in me and helped me receive one.
This was incredibly valuable!

Besides the loan, which I very needed, I also became part of a strong and talented community, where we were offered workshops, masterminds, and job opportunities. Everyone here supports each other, which is so important for immigrants and for those who are trying to change their career path.

I have learned so much from the TechMeUp team! They are true professionals, yet at the same time very human, warm, kind, and strong in spirit. They became our close mentors and role models whom you want to learn from.

They influenced me greatly, gave me a lot of self-belief and motivation to move forward. Thanks to their faith and support, I am now fulfilling my dream - changing my career. And it all started with just one intro call with a team member.

I highly recommend TechMeUp to everyone who wants to change their future and connect with this talented team. Learning from the best gives you a quantum leap in your development.

I wish TechMeUp prosperity and many more happy and grateful students.

I am very grateful to Techmeup. The whole experience from the start was very smooth. I got so much support along all the way of my reskilling process.

The unwavering support from the team at TechMeUp during an incredibly stressful period was first class. They offer in addition to the financial support, many workshops, coaching and advice. Highly recommend

TechMeUp is voor mij een uitstekende partner gebleken in het mogelijk maken van mijn opleiding (UX-design). De communicatie is altijd snel en helder, en er wordt volledig transparant gewerkt, met korte lijnen.

Wat mij het meeste raakte was de oprechte betrokkenheid van de teamleden bij mijn loopbaanontwikkeling. Men denkt met je mee en zoekt op eigen initiatief naar mogelijkheden om je verder te helpen. De lening is daarbij vooral een middel om je studie te kunnen volgen.
De echte meerwaarde zit in de begeleiding en ondersteuning. Dit zorgt ervoor dat je de arbeidsmarkt betreedt met een stevige basis aan kennis, vaardigheden en zelfvertrouwen.

Kortom, TechMeUp bestaat uit een team van mensen die hart hebben voor wat zij doen.

Their compassion and understanding when I was in need is immeasurable. Keep up the good work, helping others.
