Lembke Seminare und Beratungen GmbH

What Lembke Seminare und Beratungen GmbH does

Lembke Seminare und Beratungen GmbH is a privately held Hamburg-based (Christoph-Probst-Weg 2, Zeughaus-Quartier Eppendorf) provider of certified continuing education and consulting for the German healthcare sector, operating as a GmbH with approximately 9 employees and led by Managing Director Ursula Becker alongside Head of Continuing Education Meike Okelmann. Its offering is organized in three lines: (1) certified Weiterbildungen and Fernlehrgänge covering nursing leadership (Basis/Aufbau/Vertiefung PDL), Praxisanleiter*in, ICW-certified wound care (Wundexperte, Fachtherapeut Wunde), Palliative Care, Alltagsbegleiter*in/Betreuungskraft (160 UE per §53b SGB XI), and HKP-Assistenz; (2) (Web-)Seminare and Workshops grouped in 12 thematic series covering mandatory Pflichtfortbildungen; and (3) Inhouse-Schulungen and Beratungen including supervision, coaching, mediation, and HR development delivered on-site at client organizations across Germany.

The company runs its own ILIAS-based learning and communication platform (ilias.lembke-seminare.de), maintained by Qualitus GmbH, supporting both German and English delivery, and a separate customer portal (Kundenbereich) for bookings, study-day calendars, and registration management. Certifications (AZAV for employment-agency funding, ZFU for distance-learning compliance, Weiterbildung Hamburg/HambWBG, and ICW for wound care) anchor compliance with cost-bearer, professional society, and state requirements and enable nationwide recognition of its qualifications.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: direct sales through the website with individual consultation, in-person seminars at the Hamburg site, and nationwide distance learning plus on-site Inhouse training. Revenue mixes recurring subscription-like streams (Weiterbildungen, Fernlehrgänge) with one-time seminar/workshop fees and professional-services fees for Inhouse and consulting work. Marketing is conducted through the company website, downloadable program brochures (2026 editions), and an email newsletter; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named customers include AOK, Alloheim, ASB, AWO Pflegeteam Hamburg, DRK, Evangelisches Krankenhaus Alsterdorf, PFLEGEN & WOHNEN, Kinder-Hospiz Sternenbrücke, Lebensweg, and vhw, with strategic partnerships anchored by Qualitus GmbH (LMS), ICW, Weiterbildung Hamburg e.V., and ZFU.
