What MAX does

MAX Technical Training is a privately held, WBENC-certified Woman Owned technology training provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Mason/Cincinnati, Ohio. The company delivers instructor-led technology education to three primary customer segments: corporate organizations seeking workforce upskilling, individual learners pursuing tech careers through bootcamps, and working professionals seeking certifications. Its curriculum spans software development, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, AI/ML, DevOps, IT service management, project management, and leadership across a broad vendor ecosystem including Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, CompTIA, PMI, ITIL, Red Hat, VMware, and ServiceNow.

The product portfolio is organized into three revenue streams: (1) Career Bootcamps including Full-Stack Coding, IT Support Accelerator, Data Analytics, Agile IT Business Analyst, and an 11-week Cybersecurity program covering CompTIA Network+, Security+, and CySA+; (2) Organizational Training offering custom curricula, private classes, accelerated bootcamps, and live virtual sessions; and (3) Individual Course Enrollment across hundreds of technology courses priced from $195 to $4,000, delivered in remote live, in-person, and on-demand formats. Delivery is conducted by a small core team of 11-50 employees supplemented by a broader network of expert instructors.

The business model combines transactional individual course sales with longer-cycle corporate training contracts and an apprenticeship/bootcamp channel routed through state and federal funding programs (Ohio TechCred, WIOA, GI Bill, IMAP, Apprenti USA). The company is approved by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools (Registration #1957), has been recognized multiple times on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies, and operates a self-serve enrollment website alongside a direct enterprise sales motion. Named enterprise engagements span Great American Insurance, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Thomson Reuters, Kroger, P&G, Paycor, TQL, and Cincinnati Financial, while bootcamp alumni work at these and other major regional employers, evidencing a placement-driven B2C and B2B hybrid GTM.
