Allskills Training

What Allskills Training does

Allskills Training is a Berlin-based IT and professional development training company founded in 1990 and operated by its parent entity NetQuest GmbH (HRB 8735, F\u00fcrth). The company delivers over 1,100 courses spanning IT administration and infrastructure (Citrix, VMware, NetApp, Microsoft, Sophos, Proxmox), databases and BI, programming, DTP/graphics, management, and soft skills, to three horizontal customer segments: IT professionals and administrators, business/office users, and apprentices. Delivery formats include open public seminars at the Berlin-Mitte training center, customized in-house corporate training, a Virtual Classroom running on Webex and Microsoft Teams, and hybrid in-person/remote sessions, with three additional partner training centers in N\u00fcrnberg, Dresden, and Potsdam.

The core technology layer is a Remote Labs infrastructure hosted at the NetQuest GmbH datacenter in N\u00fcrnberg, providing 24/7 global browser access to pre-configured enterprise environments for hands-on exercises in Citrix, NetApp, and VMware; the same lab estate is also offered as a paid rental to external clients for their own training and test purposes. Authorized partnerships with PSI (test center since March 2019), CompTIA, and Blackmagic Design add credentialed certification exam delivery and brand-backed course content. The company is led by Managing Director G\u00fcnter D\u00f6rfler (also GF of NetQuest GmbH) and a small core team of 1-10 employees, supported by a freelance trainer and consultant pool.

The business model is predominantly transactional professional services: per-course pricing for open seminars ranges from \u20ac909 to \u20ac3,300 (excluding 19% VAT, with a ~10% Virtual Classroom discount), with a minimum of 3 participants per execution; corporate and in-house training is quoted individually; PSI certification exams generate exam administration fees; and Remote Lab rental provides an infrastructure revenue line. Sales run through a consultative inside/field motion (phone, inquiry forms, dedicated seminar advisors and a Vertriebsleitung), with marketing distributed across content (Wissensblog), eight social channels, email, SEO, paid search, and the kursfinder.de comparison portal. The company is privately held, shows no external funding, and was recognized by SZ-Institut as a Top Fortbildungsinstitut 2026.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Pluralsight: US-based online subscription platform for IT and developer skills training (now part of Equifax/Vista). Comparable end-customer (IT professionals seeking cloud, virtualization, security, and certification skills) but operates as a self-paced digital alternative rather than live classroom/lab provider.

Others

• NetQuest GmbH: Parent company and strategic operating partner of Allskills Training. Operates the Nürnberg datacenter that powers Allskills' Remote Labs and provides senior IT consultants/trainers to the training business. Included as the structuring entity rather than a competitive peer, but materially relevant to Allskills' economics.

Direct peers

• GFN GmbH: Major German IT training and workforce development provider operating open seminars across multiple cities and corporate upskilling programs. Comparable on vendor certification tracks and German-SME customer base, with similar AWS/CompTIA/Microsoft content.
• Fast Lane (Fast Lane Institute for Knowledge Transfer): Global authorized training partner specializing in vendor certifications (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Cisco, NetApp, VMware). Direct competitor on authorized vendor training delivery and remote lab-based instruction, with a stronger international footprint.
• Integrata AG: One of Germany's largest dedicated IT and project management training providers with nationwide open seminars and corporate programs. Direct overlap with Allskills on vendor-authorized training (Citrix, Microsoft, VMware) and certification prep, with a much larger footprint.
• SIEVERT & KOLLER GmbH: Bielefeld-based IT training provider offering open seminars and corporate training with a similar vendor-certification portfolio. Comparable business model and target customers (German IT professionals seeking certification and hands-on training).
• Bechtle Training: Bechtle's training arm delivers authorized vendor IT training across Germany with both classroom and virtual formats. Comparable in vendor-authorization model (Microsoft, Citrix, VMware), pricing, and German mid-market/corporate customer overlap.

Broad incumbents

• New Horizons Computer Learning Centers: Large global authorized training provider for Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA and other vendors with classroom + virtual delivery. Overlaps heavily with Allskills on authorized certification exam prep and IT professional upskilling, with significantly larger scale.
• Global Knowledge (GK): Worldwide IT and professional skills training provider with extensive authorized vendor programs and enterprise corporate training. Broader, larger incumbent operating across many geographies and topics, with significant overlap on IT certification and corporate upskilling.

Regional players

• SBT (Swiss-based Training): Switzerland-headquartered IT training provider with comparable authorized vendor training (Microsoft, Citrix, VMware) and remote lab offerings. Comparable business model but operates in a different national market from Allskills' German base.
