Lagant

What Lagant does

Lagant is a privately held Dutch training and consulting firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, operating under Lagant Management Consultants B.V. The company delivers accredited certification training in project, programme, portfolio, and IT service management methodologies, including PRINCE2, ITIL, AgilePM, SAFe, Scrum, IPMA, MSP, MoP, P3O, Lean Six Sigma, Obeya, and the Praxis Framework. Lagant serves two principal customer segments: individual professionals seeking internationally recognized credentials and organizations undertaking change management or Agile transformation, with additional focus on IT departments requiring ITSM and scaled Agile certifications. The business also covers emerging reskilling areas such as AI.

Lagant's core technology stack centers on a self-developed e-learning platform offering six months of access to video content, reading materials, and practice exams, complemented by the proprietary ExamTrainer tool for simulation testing and automated feedback. The company operates four parallel distribution channels: a self-serve e-commerce webshop for individual learners, scheduled classroom training in Amersfoort, customized in-company training delivered at client sites (minimum four participants), and individual coaching bundled with self-study. Pricing is granular and predominantly one-time or pay-as-you-go, ranging from €135 for textbooks to €3,125 for combined Foundation and Practitioner Fasttrack tracks, with multi-year in-company contracts priced on application. Course tickets typically bundle exam vouchers, and an exam guarantee covers free re-exams on selected tracks.

Lagant makes money primarily through one-time course fees (with exam vouchers) and per-project in-company training engagements, supplemented by recurring subscription-style six-month e-learning access and individual coaching services. The Lagant Group includes three wholly-owned subsidiaries — Agile Business Builders (acquired January 2020, delivering YOWYO! coaching for change implementation), Van Aetsveld, and IPMA Compact — that together extend the proposition from certification resale into end-to-end change journeys. Lagant is recognized as a Silver Accredited Training Organisation by PeopleCert (since 2025), holds NRTO membership, and was certified as a Great Place To Work employer in 2026; the firm holds no disclosed institutional funding.

Direct peers

• Global Knowledge: Global IT and management training provider offering PRINCE2, ITIL, Agile, and Scrum certifications across multiple geographies. Directly comparable as a multi-methodology certification training company, though operating at significantly larger global scale.
• Firebrand Training: Accelerated IT and management certification training provider offering PRINCE2, ITIL, and Agile courses across Europe. Comparable in certification portfolio and accelerated classroom delivery model, though typically targeting faster course completion.
• ILX Group: Specialist in PRINCE2, ITIL, and Agile certification training with both classroom and e-learning delivery. Closely comparable to Lagant in product mix (PRINCE2/ITIL/Agile stack) and bundled exam-voucher model, though with a broader UK/EMEA footprint.
• Pink Elephant: ITIL specialist training and consulting firm offering accredited ITIL certification courses and change management services. Comparable to Lagant's ITIL and Change Management portfolio, with similar practitioner-led training approach.

Others

• IPMA Compact: Wholly-owned Lagant Group subsidiary focused on IPMA certification and training. Internal group company rather than external competitor; relevant as part of Lagant Group's broader certification portfolio.
• Agile Business Builders: Wholly-owned Lagant Group subsidiary providing Agile coaching and change implementation using the YOWYO! method. Listed separately as it represents the implementation arm of the group rather than a true external competitor; included for group-structure transparency.
• Van Aetsveld: Wholly-owned Lagant Group subsidiary focused on training and education services. Part of the same corporate group rather than an external peer; included for completeness of the Lagant Group ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Simplilearn: Large-scale online professional certification platform covering project management (PMP, PRINCE2), Agile (SAFe, Scrum), and IT service management (ITIL). Adjacent rather than head-to-head, but competes for the same individual professional learners seeking certification credentials.

Emerging players

• Good e-Learning: Online-first provider of PRINCE2, ITIL, Agile, and Scrum certification courses with self-paced e-learning and exam bundles. Comparable in product overlap but competing primarily on digital self-study rather than in-person classroom and in-company delivery.
• KnowledgeHut: Global professional certification training provider covering PRINCE2, PMP, Scrum, SAFe, and ITIL via live virtual and classroom formats. Comparable in certification breadth but with a primarily international, English-language focus.
