Medienreich Training Gmbh

What Medienreich Training Gmbh does

Medienreich Training GmbH is a German continuing-education provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany. The company delivers IT and AI training courses, online seminars, and customized corporate workshops across digital topics including design, marketing, CAD, development, cloud, data science, generative AI, and quality management. Its catalog encompasses more than 5,000 IT seminars offered through three delivery formats: open enrollment courses at fixed dates, customized inhouse/firm seminars delivered at client premises or online, and project-based workshops. The business operates across 23 training centers — 18 cities in Germany (Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Frankfurt am Main, Freiburg, Hamburg, Hannover, Kassel, Kiel, Koblenz, Köln, Leipzig, München, Nürnberg, Saarbrücken, Stuttgart, and Bielefeld as headquarters) and 5 cities in Austria (Wien, Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck) — supplemented by a nationwide live-online platform for remote delivery.

The underlying technology stack is relatively conventional for a professional training services firm: live-online sessions are conducted via video conferencing with real-time instructor interaction and collaborative tools, and the catalog is delivered through a course management system that exposes 5,000+ searchable seminars. A "Durchführungsgarantie" (execution guarantee) converts undersubscribed open courses into individual inhouse format to protect customer commitment. Class sizes are capped at 8 participants for open enrollment. Pricing follows a unit-based, pay-as-you-go model with tiered group discounts; example data points include €1,365 for a single participant in a 3-day Linux Systemadministration open course versus €1,023.75 per participant for groups of 3-8, and €295 per person for 8-person inhouse groups on the same course.

Medienreich's go-to-market combines four motions: enterprise field sales for corporate inhouse engagements, inside sales/consultation for personalized training recommendations (seminar advisors staffed Monday-Friday 8:00-18:00), self-serve e-commerce for individual open-course booking, and channel partnerships through certified training partner relationships with Adobe (Authorised Training Centre), ATC, MAXON, and COREL. Named enterprise customers include Daimler, Siemens, Allianz, Deutsche Telekom, Postbank, TUI, Nintendo, and OTTO, while the company claims 5,000+ corporate clients and 150,000+ total participants trained across 25 years. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the sole identified managing director is Frank Schmittat, and the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors. Marketing emphasizes the Focus Business "Top-Weiterbildungsanbieter" recognition earned consecutively from 2021 through 2026, alongside Google (4.8/5) and eKomi (5-star "Exzellent") customer review profiles.
