Service delivery is supported by owned training centers in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich (Garching), Frankfurt (Eschborn), Bratislava, Ljubljana, and Warsaw, supplemented by virtual classroom infrastructure (Cisco WebEx and Microsoft Teams), remote labs for hands-on practice, the FLEX Classroom hybrid delivery model, and the Fast Lane LIVE e-learning platform.

The customer base spans individual IT professionals seeking certifications, enterprise customers requiring coordinated workforce training, technology channel partners needing vendor compliance training, and mid-market organizations adopting new technology platforms. Per company disclosures, ITLS and the broader Fast Lane Group have trained more than 1.1 million students worldwide, delivered over 155,000 training events, and served 113,146 customers across global markets. The company was founded in 2011 and maintains private ownership under the Fast Lane Group umbrella.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: public instructor-led course fees (ranging approximately €1,380 to €4,990 depending on duration and vendor), sale of vendor certification exam vouchers, customized corporate onsite training delivered at customer premises, bundled training packages (S to XXL) combining multiple courses, and subscription-based access to the Fast Lane LIVE e-learning platform. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales for large deployments, inside sales for mid-market customers, public scheduled courses for individuals and small teams, and vendor channel partnerships across the 40+ authorized programs. Pricing varies by vendor, duration, delivery format, and geography, with corporate onsite training quoted on a customized basis.
