What Center of innovation creativity and science does

Center of Innovation Creativity and Science is a private non-governmental educational institution in Moscow operating under the legal name 'Негосударственное образовательное частное учреждение дополнительного профессионального образования Институт мировой экономики и информатизации (ЧУ ПОО ИМЭИ)'. Established in 1995 and led by Director Denis Yuryevich Ukrainsky, the institute pivoted in 2016–2017 from higher education (ВПО) to additional professional education (ДПО), and now delivers accredited occupational safety, electrical safety, fire safety, first aid, ADR dangerous goods transportation, working-profession, and management development programs across four product lines: Managers and Specialists (retraining), Working Professions (40+ trades including crane operators, electricians, welders, forklift drivers, and UAV operators), Educational Programs and Courses, and Audit Services for occupational safety and HR documentation. Training results are uploaded into the official Ministry of Labor 'Registry of Trained Persons in Occupational Safety' under Russian Government Resolution No. 2464, providing legally recognized certification.

The institute delivers programs in three formats — traditional in-person at its Moscow headquarters on st. Artyukhina, blended part-time (очно-заочная), and fully distance — using an internal distance learning platform that allows working professionals to study without leaving their jobs. Per-course pricing is publicly disclosed in Russian Rubles, ranging from 1,500 RUB (8-hour specialized occupational safety modules, first aid) and 2,000 RUB (16-hour occupational safety programs, 6-hour PPE training) to 5,000–7,000 RUB (thermal/electrical safety groups) and 15,000 RUB (256-hour Occupational Safety Specialist professional retraining). Go-to-market is sales-led and hybrid: enterprise employers enroll groups of employees via the website and are each assigned a personal account manager who monitors re-certification timelines, while individual learners can self-enroll.

The customer base spans diverse SMB and mid-market enterprises in cleaning, construction, automotive, agriculture/dairy, and food manufacturing (e.g., OOO Blesk, OOO Enkom KSM, OOO Argo-Avto, AO DeLaval, ZAO Mikoyanovsky Meat Processing Plant), supplemented by distribution through the Moscow government procurement marketplace (market.zakupki.mos.ru), organic social channels (VK, Facebook, Instagram), and the official website. The institute is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or funding rounds, and holds no documented patents, trademarks, or industry awards.
