Basiskennis Calculatie

Calculating cost price, margin and quotations: calculation fundamentals, numeracy and spreadsheets.

About this programme

Basiskennis Calculatie (calculation fundamentals) is a sector-specific MBO 4 diploma route with three examined modules: basic calculation, numeracy and spreadsheets. You learn to build up cost prices, determine margins and mark-ups, prepare quotations and post-calculations, and record your workings in a spreadsheet that anyone can verify. That allows you to explain why a price is what it is — to the customer and inside your own organisation. Each module is examined separately and the certificates form the MBO 4 diploma in the LOMAS register.
