The average time investment for the BDB is 150 hours, during which you will already be working on your portfolio during the meetings. There are five meetings from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and five meetigns from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition, nine interim meetings are planned from 9 to 12 a.m., during which you will process the themes offered, give and receive feedback and work on your portfolio. No trainer is present during these interim meetings; you will work in al learning team. In addition, there are hours that are not scheduled but that you need to compile your portfolio, process theory, develop evidence and reflect.
