Level Education Group

What Level Education Group does

Level Education Group, LLC ("LEG") is a South Jordan, Utah-based private education company that operates a multi-brand portfolio of online continuing education ("CE") and licensure exam preparation services for licensed healthcare professionals in the United States. The company's brands cluster in two segments: (i) consumer CE platforms — CE4Less, NurseCE4Less, CCM4Less, CEU Creations, cnaZone, and NHAZone — that sell affordable recurring subscriptions and individual courses to practicing clinicians and nurses who need accredited hours to maintain state licensure, and (ii) exam preparation brands — AATBS (operating since 1976), Academic Review, Gerry Grossman Seminars, Taylor Study Method, and The Wellness Institute — that target pre-licensure candidates with self-study, live, and on-demand prep packages using psychometrics-based practice questions. The underlying technology is a portfolio of online learning management systems delivering text-based, livestream, and on-demand video content across web properties, with no public APIs or disclosed AI capabilities.

Since 2025, Level Education Group has been backed by private equity firm Baum, and in October 2025 it acquired Triad, a B2B platform that delivers exam preparation, CE, and career resources to behavioral and mental health professionals through employer, university, and healthcare-organization contracts. The Triad acquisition established an enterprise/field-sales motion in addition to the legacy direct-to-consumer self-serve channels. The company monetizes through a mix of recurring individual CE subscriptions, one-time licensure exam preparation packages, and B2B bulk institutional licenses. It claims to have served over one million healthcare professionals since 2004, with AATBS alone credited with helping more than 500,000 mental health professionals pass licensure exams. Recent partnerships (April 2026) with the Kaiser Permanente Mental Health Career Accelerator and the CCBHC-T Workforce Accelerator extend the platform into subsidized, employer- and philanthropy-funded workforce development across nine states, with a stated goal of placing 1,000 licensed clinicians by 2028.

Direct peers

• Colibri Healthcare (Elite Healthcare): Provides continuing education and licensure exam prep for healthcare professionals across nursing, behavioral health, and allied health. Directly competes with LEG's CE4Less, NurseCE4Less, and AATBS brands in the same self-serve online CE and exam prep category.
• Wild Iris Medical Education: Offers accredited online CE courses for nurses, mental health professionals, and case managers, with a self-serve e-commerce model nearly identical to LEG's CE4Less and NurseCE4Less. Comparable target customer (individual licensed professionals) and similar content verticals.
• MedBridge: Healthcare education and workforce training platform serving PT/OT, nursing, and behavioral health with both individual CE subscriptions and B2B employer contracts. Most direct enterprise competitor to LEG's Triad/B2B workforce channel.
• CE Direct (NetCE): Provides accredited CE for nurses, mental health professionals, and allied health via self-serve online platform. Directly competes with LEG's CE4Less and NurseCE4Less on course catalog, accreditation, and self-serve purchasing.
• PRIME Education: Accredited CE provider focused on mental health, nursing, and pharmacy professionals, with both individual and institutional offerings. Closely comparable to LEG's behavioral health and nursing CE portfolio.
• Springer Publishing / Springer Healthcare: Publishes continuing education content and licensure exam prep materials for nursing, mental health, and social work professionals. Comparable content depth and accreditation profile to LEG's behavioral health brands.
• PESI: Continuing education provider for mental health professionals (counselors, social workers, psychologists, MFTs) with live, on-demand, and self-study formats. Directly competes with LEG's AATBS, CE4Less, and Wellness Institute brands in behavioral health CE.

Broad incumbents

• Kaplan: Large incumbent test prep and continuing education provider with healthcare licensure exam prep (USMLE, NCLEX-adjacent) and professional development offerings. Broader portfolio but overlapping on behavioral health and nursing exam prep.

Others

• NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors) CE Providers: Accrediting body and approved provider directory for counselors and behavioral health CE. Not a direct competitor, but a relevant ecosystem comparator as LEG's CE4Less and AATBS compete for inclusion in approved provider networks.
• National Council for Mental Wellbeing: Trade association and workforce accelerator administrator. Functions as both a strategic partner (administering Kaiser and CCBHC-T programs with LEG) and adjacent player funding behavioral health workforce expansion that drives LEG demand.
