What Itc Graf Gmbh does

ITC Graf GmbH (legally ITC Institut Time Consultants Graf GmbH) is a family-owned German professional services company headquartered in Heidenheim an der Brenz with a second academy in Ravensburg, both in Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1993, the firm has operated for over 30 years specializing in occupational safety (Arbeitsschutz) and fire protection (Brandschutz) consulting and certified training for small and medium-sized enterprises (Mittelstand), serving manufacturing, logistics, hospitality, public sector, and franchise-chain clients including named accounts such as Magnaflux, Apleona Südwest, Kendrion, and Ravensburger Verlag.

The company operates a training-academy-plus-consulting platform built around a catalog of more than 100 certified courses — covering forklift, telescopic handler, crane and MEWP operation, load securing, construction machinery, press setting, PSAgA fall protection, fire protection, and the full BKF professional driver Module 1–5 suite — delivered through four channels: in-person academy training at the two physical sites (with practical facilities including a crane hall and PSAgA tower), on-site in-house training at customer locations, live webinars, and self-service online booking with volume-discount shopping-cart functionality. The proprietary ITC Control Card system anchors recurring technical-safety-support engagements compliant with DGUV Vorschrift 2, complemented by a free resource library (templates, Rat- und Tatgeber blog, monthly Thema des Monats expert articles, lexicon) that drives top-of-funnel content marketing, plus Flexoption and Flexoption Plus add-ons that monetize booking flexibility.

Revenue is generated through three professional-services streams: fee-for-service training (per-participant unit pricing with material volume discounts), occupational safety consulting (safety officer provision, technical safety support, risk assessments), and fire protection consulting. Pricing is publicly disclosed and ranges from roughly 95 EUR for short online instruction modules to 675 EUR for advanced Befähigte Person courses, with mid-tier courses clustering around 150–375 EUR. The company is led by three family managing directors (Julius Wolfgang, Julius Manuel, and Julius Rene Graf) plus a Prokurist, and operates a sister-company alliance with MPS Elektrotechnik for complementary electrical-safety services.

• B·A·D GmbH: One of Germany's largest occupational safety and health service providers, offering Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit, BG-compliant consulting, and operator training. Direct competitor to ITC Graf's core Arbeitsschutz and DGUV-aligned services across the same Mittelstand customer base.
• WEKA Akademie: Germany's specialist compliance and professional training provider covering occupational safety, data protection, and HR compliance. Similar target audience (German Mittelstand) and comparable course catalog, with a stronger digital delivery and content publishing model.
• ASER Institut: Specialist German occupational safety training and consulting provider. Comparable service mix in safety officer training, forklift/crane instruction, and DGUV-compliant courses, with similar Mittelstand and franchise customer base.
• Forum Verlag Herkert GmbH: German specialist publisher and training provider for occupational safety, fire protection, and compliance. Comparable in-depth catalog of Gefahrstoff, DGUV, and Brandschutz training content; overlaps with ITC Graf's content-driven go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• DEKRA Akademie: Global testing and certification body with a German training arm offering forklift, crane, MEWP, and BKF driver qualification courses. Overlaps directly with ITC Graf's training catalog but also serves broader testing, audit, and certification needs; competes with greater brand recognition and national reach.

Indirect competitor in the same training verticals, particularly for SMBs in regions where IHK subsidies apply.
