DNV GL Training

What DNV GL Training does

DNV (legally DNV AS, formerly DNV GL Training's parent group) is a Norwegian-headquartered independent assurance and certification company tracing back to 1864. Following the 2013 merger of Det Norske Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd, the company simplified its brand to DNV in 2021 and now operates across 100+ countries serving eight primary verticals: maritime, energy, healthcare, food and beverage, aquaculture and ocean health, automotive and aerospace, rail, and hard-to-abate industries. The organization employs 6,000+ energy and digital experts alongside a broader global workforce, and has certified 2,800+ healthcare organizations and counts 14,000+ customers in its food-industry book.

DNV's service portfolio spans professional training, third-party certification, technical inspection, testing, advisory, and software solutions. Training is delivered as classroom, virtual, and customized programs priced per participant or organization. The company's core proprietary digital asset is Veracity, an independent industry cloud platform and digital marketplace that aggregates quality-assured maritime and energy data, supports secure sharing, and enables automated data flows between industry participants. Subsidiaries include GreenPowerMonitor (renewable energy and BESS) and Veracity. Revenue is generated through quote-based enterprise engagements, recurring software subscriptions, and training fees, with no public pricing disclosure.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through 100+ country offices, complemented by digital self-service via Veracity, industry events (Navalshore, KHF, CIGRE), webinars, and research publications such as the annual Energy Transition Outlook. Distribution is anchored by local experts delivering consulting, certification, and inspection services to maritime, energy, healthcare, and food clients. A 2026 strategic MoU with IP Gotion Poland, executed through GreenPowerMonitor, targets BESS deployment and certification in Central and Eastern Europe, signaling ongoing geographic and energy-transition expansion.
