What tecnovy does

tecnovy GmbH is a Swiss IT training and consulting firm headquartered in Lenzburg, Switzerland, founded in 2019. The company is an official accreditation partner for 13 professional certification boards (iSAQB, SAFe, ISTQB, IREB, ITIL, UXQB, EC-Council, CompTIA, HERMES, Management 3.0, AI Native) and operates one of only 38 globally authorized iSAQB training programs. Tecnovy delivers 70+ courses spanning software architecture, scaled agile, software testing, requirements engineering, user experience, IT service management (ITIL), cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, serving 5,500+ IT professionals and 150+ companies across Europe through online, onsite, and hybrid formats.

The company's product surface centers on an E-Learning Platform that combines course delivery (live online via Zoom with interactive collaboration in Mural), preparation materials, scheduling, and a proprietary Certificate Showroom feature that lets participants consolidate attendance and exam credentials on a single shareable page. A newer offering, the AI Suite, aggregates AI-focused courses (Certified AI Manager under ISO/IEC 17024, AI in Requirements Engineering, iSAQB SWARC4AI) into a unified curriculum gateway. Enterprise-facing products include customized inhouse training, the two-day Customized SAFe Kick-Starter workshop, and the Digital Leaders program. Operations span Switzerland (corporate and finance), Germany (training project management and business development), and Turkey (digital, content, UI/UX, and development), supported by a core team of approximately 12 and an extended network of 40+ accredited trainers across Europe.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-person public training courses (€990-€2,990+ per seat with early-bird, group, and monthly promotional discounts up to 25%), customized B2B inhouse engagements priced per program, and access to E-Learning portal resources. Distribution combines self-service online registration with Stripe-integrated payments (EUR, CHF, USD; credit cards, PayPal, Klarna, TWINT, iDEAL, etc.), direct inside-sales for enterprise contracts, content marketing (SEO blog, YouTube, case studies such as 'IT Training 2030'), webinars, and organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Facebook). No external funding, M&A activity, or parent-company ownership is disclosed; the entity remains founder-led under Ertul Topuzoglu as CEO.
