About Chain 5

CHAIN5 is the ‘community of practice for level 5’ for those who are involved in the developments concerning education on level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework.

In recent years, we have managed to show that we can play an important substantive and practical role in the European context. CHAIN5 has become a connecting factor to link international providers of Level 5 (EQF-5) education and all kinds of stakeholders on a strategic but thus especially on an operational level. Many examples can be cited of international cooperation originating from the CHAIN5 platform.

Within CHAIN5, a number of working groups are active that focus on specific topics within the field of level 5. Some of these are Internationalisation, Quality Assurance & Control and Work based learning. We are also increasingly participating in projects funded by ‘Europe’. Currently, we are partner in an international project (Erasmus+) about the need for competences that have to part of study programs in VET and HE, looking at professions in the Building and Construction Sector at the levels 3, 4 and 5 (and perhaps also 6) of the EQF.

Membership of CHAIN5 is free. For further information please mail at info@chain5.net

How to get to Leeuwarden?

By Train

Arrival at Schiphol

When you have arrived in the arrival hall of Schiphol, please follow the signs ‘trains’ (or ‘treinen’ in Dutch), to go to the plaza on Schiphol.

Buying train tickets at Schiphol

The train journey will be done with an NS train (NS = ‘Nederlandse Spoorwegen’, the Dutch train company). The train ticket will cost around €25 for a single trip.

To by your train ticket, you have two options:

1. Use the ‘OV Service & Tickets’ at Schiphol Plaza. Here, one of the employees will help you with buying a ticket to Leeuwarden Central Station. Please do not forget to check in with your ticket at the NS check-in poles. Checking out only needs to be done in Leeuwarden Central Station. If you are using the non-direct train, you do not need to check out in the transfer station Zwolle. Checking out in Leeuwarden is sufficient. The NS employee can explain more about this.

2. Use one of the ticket machines at the Plaza.
a. Select English or any other language.
b. Here you can order your ticket by using the ‘buy a separate ticket (single-use chipkaart)’. Payment can be done by credit card (+ €0,50 transaction costs) or cash money (coins only).
c. Please do not forget to check in with your ticket at the NS check-in poles. Checking out only needs to be done in Leeuwarden Central Station. If you are using the non-direct train, you do not need to check out in the transfer station. Checking out in Leeuwarden is sufficient.

You can find the correct train platform (usually platform 1-2) by checking the signs in front of the platform tunnels at the Plaza.

Train to Leeuwarden

The train to Leeuwarden will depart each 30 minutes, starting from 06h04 until 22h34.
– Trains at .04: non-direct trains
– Trains at .34: direct trains

The journey by train will take about two hours. You can either chose between a direct or non-direct (1 stop in Zwolle) train.

At Schiphol Airport, the train will usually depart from platform 1-2. If you take the non-direct train, you will transfer trains in Zwolle. The next train to Leeuwarden will arrive around five minutes later on the other side of the train platform.
