Campus Wien Academy

What Campus Wien Academy does

Campus Wien Academy (legally Hochschule Campus Wien Academy GmbH) is the academic continuing education arm of Hochschule Campus Wien, Austria's largest University of Applied Sciences. The company operates from a single campus at Favoritenstraße 222 in Vienna, delivering academic certificate programs (Zertifikatsprogramme), stackable Micro-Credentials, single seminars, and bespoke in-house corporate training across eight thematic subject areas: Applied Nursing Science, Applied Life Sciences, Building and Design, Health Sciences, Social Sciences, Technology, Administration/Economics/Security/Politics, and a cross-cutting 'Kompetenz plus' stream. Programs are delivered in online, hybrid, and in-person formats using Moodle and Mahara e-learning platforms, and award ECTS credits recognized across the European Higher Education Area, ÖGKV nursing continuing education points (PFP®), and — for select programs — TÜV Austria certification or ISO 17024 personal certification pathways.

The company operates three revenue streams: (1) public certificate programs, micro-credentials, seminars, and webinars sold directly to individuals via online registration (one-time fees ranging €350–€6,200, VAT exempt, with 10% early-bird discounts); (2) customized in-house corporate training delivered on a consultative basis in three tiers (base/build/exclusive), with project-based professional services pricing; and (3) strategic consulting on competency development, e-learning design, didactic frameworks, and train-the-trainer programs. Ancillary exam and certification fees (e.g., €480 TÜV Austria certification fee, €1,050 standalone Micro-Credential exam fee) provide supplementary transactional revenue. The customer base spans healthcare professionals (School Health Nursing, Forensic Nursing, Wound Management), public sector administrators (CAF Quality and Management Consultant), business leaders (Business Ethics with ISO 17024 pathway), EU project managers, IT professionals (IT Future Skills Micro-Credentials), construction engineers (TÜV-certified bridge bearing specialists), and tax professionals (Smart Tax Summit, AI Ready for Tax), plus organizational enterprise clients reached through 15+ institutional and industry partnerships including KDZ, EY, Deloitte, TÜV Austria, EuroVienna, incite, ÖPAV, and the Medical University of Vienna.

The company is wholly owned by Hochschule Campus Wien (Austria's largest Fachhochschule), with no external investors or private equity involvement, and operates with a lean core team of approximately 13 staff (5 named core personnel plus program faculty). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The GTM combines sales-led online enrollment for individuals, enterprise field sales for in-house training, and community-led retention through the alumni Club Campus Wien Academy network. Recent strategic emphasis has been on IT vertical expansion (IT Cloud Administrator Micro-Credential, IT Future Skills stack), AI literacy offerings (AI Ready for Tax, Ethik und KI-Kompetenz Micro-Credential), and deepening of partnerships with research institutions (Medical University of Vienna) and Big Four firms (EY, Deloitte) for ESG and tax content.

Direct peers

• WU Executive Academy: The executive education arm of Vienna University of Economics and Business, also based in Vienna.

Operates as a direct competitor in the Austrian executive continuing education market with overlapping target customers (corporate professionals, public sector).
• Donau-Universität Krems: Austria's leading university specifically dedicated to continuing education, offering part-time certificate and master's programs across multiple disciplines with ECTS credits. Directly comparable to Campus Wien Academy in academic CE model, part-time format, regulatory-relevant programs, and Austrian federal-state target customers.
• FH Wien - University of Applied Sciences: Austrian UAS with continuing education programs in business, technology, healthcare, and communications. Same parent-segment model (Fachhochschule continuing education), similar Vienna base, comparable target audience of working professionals seeking academic credentials alongside employment.
• MCI Management Center Innsbruck: Austrian private university with extensive continuing education and executive program portfolio. Comparable academic continuing education model with ECTS-bearing programs, similar emphasis on enterprise-customized training, and parallel industry partnerships across DACH.
• FH Salzburg - University of Applied Sciences: Austrian UAS offering continuing education programs in business, technology, social sciences, and design. Comparable in scale, structure, and target audience (working professionals seeking ECTS-credited certificates), with similar institutional academic continuing education model.

Comparable for enterprise training motion and corporate client segments, but operates as commercial provider without university affiliation.

Regional players

• ZHAW School of Management and Law: Swiss University of Applied Sciences with comparable continuing education programs in management, public administration, finance, and healthcare. Operates the same Fachhochschule academic model but in the Swiss German-speaking market; serves as a regional parallel rather than direct Austrian competitor.

Emerging players

Comparable in Austrian market focus, part-time professional format, and emphasis on regulatory/credentialed training (e.g., ÖCERT-recognized), though narrower in scope than Campus Wien Academy's full portfolio.
