What Uddannelseshuset ApS does

Uddannelseshuset ApS (legal name ACT-Uddannelseshuset ApS) is a privately held Danish professional development and corporate training company headquartered at Strandvejen 130, Hellerup, Denmark. Founded in 1965 and operating for over 65 years, the company delivers instructor-led and online courses in three core categories: Communication, Speed Reading (Hurtiglæsning), and Teaching Technique, with an expanded catalog of 35+ courses covering conflict management, presentation, meeting leadership, coaching, sales, stress management, hybrid meetings, distance leadership, and a 2023 ChatGPT/AI introductory course.

The company runs three delivery formats: open public courses (Åbne Hold) registered via the NemTilmeld platform, customized corporate training (Firmakurser) delivered on client premises, and self-paced online courses through the Simplero learning platform with mobile app access. Eight out of ten courses delivered are customized to the client, underscoring a sales-led go-to-market anchored on direct phone and email outreach. Proprietary intellectual property centers on the original Hurtiglæsning speed reading methodology introduced to Scandinavia in 1967, with proprietary techniques including orientation reading, speed reading, deep reading, and skimming, supported by lifetime brush-up refresher courses for alumni.

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time course fees across pricing tiers ranging from 2,495 kr for online self-paced courses to 5,995 kr for instructor-led specialist courses like Teaching Technique. Customer base spans enterprise (KMD, PWC, Brenntag Nordic, IDEALHUSE), public sector (Solrød Kommune), academia (Syddansk Universitet), and nonprofits (Dansk Sygeplejeråd), with a cumulative 30,113+ participants in the speed reading course alone. The company is family-controlled (key personnel Anja Thybo and Carsten Thybo), has 18 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates exclusively in Denmark.
