What IT-Schulungen does

IT-Schulungen.com, operated by New Elements GmbH, is a Germany-based professional IT training services provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Nürnberg. The company delivers over 2,000 seminars across 30 training locations in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), supplemented by virtual classroom and on-site inhouse corporate training. Its portfolio spans cloud computing (AWS, Azure, OpenStack, Alibaba Cloud), cybersecurity and offensive security (EC-Council CEH, OffSec OSCP/OSWA/OSWP/OSDA, ISC2 CISSP, CompTIA), software development, business intelligence (Power BI), IT service management (ITIL, SAFe, SRE), and an expanding AI curriculum covering Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, AI agents, and EU AI Act governance.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market with revenue generated through per-participant course fees across public open seminars, inhouse corporate training, individual coaching, and managed training services. Course pricing is unit-based, ranging from EUR 695 for a 1-day introductory course to EUR 2,995 for a 5-day intensive program, with separate inhouse and virtual classroom rates. It is an AZAV-certified training institute, enabling access to German government-funded programs such as Qualifizierungschancengesetz and regional Bildungsschecks. Authorized vendor partnerships with Microsoft (Certified Learning Partner with Gold competencies), EC-Council, OffSec, Linux Foundation, ISC2, CompTIA, LPI, and Alibaba Cloud constitute a core operational and competitive asset, as these authorizations are prerequisites for delivering official certification preparation.

IT-Schulungen.com serves two primary customer segments: individual IT professionals and corporate employees seeking certification and upskilling, and enterprises/mid-market companies purchasing team training through inhouse or open seminar formats. With over 7,000 annual inquiries and 2,886 guaranteed course dates, the company maintains a high-volume, distributed customer base with no disclosed anchor accounts or concentration risk. The business is privately held under New Elements GmbH with 101–250 employees and no disclosed external funding or M&A activity, consistent with an organically grown, founder/management-owned professional services firm.

Direct peers

• Fast Lane Institute for Knowledge Transfer GmbH: Germany-based IT training company with a near-identical DACH-focused vendor-authorized model (Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, Google Cloud, NetApp, Red Hat). Direct competitor for both open seminars and enterprise inhouse engagements, and the most relevant peer in the market.
• GFN AG: German IT training and qualification provider with broad coverage of certifications and AZAV-accredited government-funded programs. Closely comparable in target customer (German professionals and enterprises) and in heavy reliance on subsidized training demand.
• CBT Nuggets: US-headquartered IT certification training provider covering Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, CompTIA, and cybersecurity. Comparable in the certification prep product category, with an on-demand digital delivery model that substitutes for parts of IT-Schulungen's catalog.
• SMLan GmbH: Germany-based IT training specialist with a similar Microsoft / Cisco / Linux / IT-security certification catalog and open-seminar plus inhouse model. Direct peer competing for the same DACH corporate training buyers.
• WBS Training / WBS Coding School: German AZAV-certified vocational training provider with coding bootcamps and IT upskilling under the same government funding regime (Qualifizierungschancengesetz, Bildungsgutschein). Comparable in AZAV-led, German-language corporate and individual training.

Emerging players

• Stackfuel GmbH: Berlin-based data, AI, and cloud training provider with a focus on German enterprise upskilling. Overlaps with IT-Schulungen on AI, data, and cloud courses and competes for the same corporate buyer in DACH.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft (Sumtotal/Skillsoft): Global enterprise learning company covering IT certification, leadership, and compliance, with established DACH enterprise accounts. Comparable as a one-stop corporate training platform competing for the same L&D budget.
• Pluralsight (now part of Cornerstone): Large US-headquartered technology skills platform offering cloud, security, and software development courses. Comparable on the IT certification prep and skills-assessment side, and a direct substitute for the self-paced/digital learning layer.
• Cegos Group: Global corporate training provider with strong DACH presence; broader than IT-Schulungen because it covers leadership, project management, and soft skills alongside digital topics, but competes for the same enterprise L&D budget.
• TÜV Rheinland Akademie: Training arm of the TÜV Rheinland group in Germany, offering certification and professional development across IT, quality, and safety. Comparable in being a Germany-rooted, certification-oriented training brand, though broader than pure IT.
