What AddOn (Schweiz) AG does

AddOn (Schweiz) AG is a Switzerland-based IT consulting and training services company headquartered in Regensdorf, founded in 1995, with a headcount band of 51–100 employees. The company operates within a broader DACH training network that includes parallel German operations, delivering authorized vendor-certified training and certification preparation across Microsoft, SAP, AWS, VMware, Linux, and Cyber Security technology domains. Its offerings include over 200 catalog courses spanning more than 40 certification pathways, complemented by proprietary XpertSeries courses designed to go beyond standard manufacturer training.

The core technology proposition is structured professional services delivery: certified Learning Partner curricula combined with trainer-practitioners who maintain active consulting engagements, ensuring knowledge transfer reflects current enterprise project realities. Delivery formats include scheduled public courses (Garantietermine), in-house workshops for groups of three or more, online and hybrid options, and bundled training packages on annual or multi-year contracts. Course pricing ranges from approximately EUR 650 for one-day introductory sessions to EUR 4,450 for multi-day advanced workshops (excluding VAT), positioning the company in the mid-market of DACH enterprise training.

The revenue model is professional services, generated through per-course unit pricing for public schedules, customized in-house workshops, and subscription-style training packages. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales combined with inbound channels (SEO-optimized course catalog, social presence across LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and direct email/phone contact). The customer base is a horizontal segment of IT professionals and organizations seeking certification and skill development across the six core technology vendor ecosystems the company serves.

Direct peers

• Global Knowledge: One of the largest global authorized IT training providers offering vendor-authorized courses across Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, VMware, and other ecosystems. Highly comparable to AddOn in delivery model (public + private classroom, virtual, custom corporate) and target enterprise customer base.
• Fast Lane (Claranet): A direct competitor in vendor-authorized IT training across cloud, networking, and security stacks; now part of the Claranet group. Overlaps directly with AddOn's catalogue and customer segments, particularly in DACH and Europe.
• QA (Aptech): UK-headquartered IT and business training provider offering extensive vendor-authorized certification courses. Comparable multi-vendor catalogue, enterprise B2B customer base, and mix of public scheduled and custom corporate delivery.
• Arrow ECS Education Services: The training arm of Arrow Electronics, providing authorized IT training and certification preparation across major vendors to enterprise and channel customers in Europe. Directly comparable multi-vendor authorized training model.

Others

• Linux Foundation Training: Direct-to-customer open-source and Linux training provider that also operates an authorized partner channel — of which AddOn is a member. Relevant as both an upstream content source and a competing delivery channel for the same end-customer certifications.

Regional players

• Cegos: France-headquartered international corporate training provider with a strong European presence, including IT and digital skills training. Comparable in custom corporate training delivery to European enterprise clients, though broader in scope beyond vendor-authorized IT certifications.
• ALSO Group: Swiss-headquartered technology distributor with a training services arm covering vendor-authorized IT courses. Regionally comparable to AddOn in DACH and offers similar authorized certification programmes, though as part of a broader distribution business.
• Bechtle: Large German IT services and reseller group that bundles training and certification with its broader IT services portfolio. Comparable DACH footprint and enterprise customer base, with training as a value-add rather than standalone offering.

Broad incumbents

• Pluralsight: US-based technology skills platform with deep cloud, security, and software development content, including certification paths for AWS, Microsoft, and Google. Competes for the same IT professional certification budget as AddOn, primarily through self-paced digital delivery.
• Skillsoft: Global digital learning and certification platform offering IT, cloud, and security training content, including self-paced and instructor-led options. Broader in scale and digital-first delivery, but addresses the same enterprise upskilling and certification demand.
