The professional education & training market in Germany

The professional education & training market in Germany has grown in recent years and has established itself as an integral part of professional development. With a large number of providers offering both traditional face-to-face seminars and modern online courses, the professional education & training is extremely dynamic and diverse. While some providers focus on B2C or are non-profit organisations, others offer B2B and B2G activities and pursue a profit motive.

Diverse offerings and increasing digitalisation

Germany offers a wide range of training programmes and qualifications, from language courses and IT training to management and leadership training. This diversity is also reflected in the provider landscape, which ranges from large, established training institutions to small, specialised training providers. Digital training in particular has seen a huge upsurge in recent years. Demand for e-learning, webinars and blended learning formats is growing steadily because they are more flexible and often more cost-effective.

An important key to career development

Professional education & training is a key factor not only for individual career development, but also for the competitiveness of companies. Targeted training enables professionals and managers to enhance their skills and adapt to the ever-changing demands of the labour market. Specialised courses on future skills such as digital transformation, project management, data science, agile methods, change management and soft skills are very popular.

Future trends in the training market

The professional education & training in Germany will be strongly influenced by megatrends such as digitalisation, demographic change and globalisation. Increasing automation and the use of artificial intelligence require new qualifications and skills that need to be imparted through professional education & training. In addition, lifelong learning and adult education are becoming increasingly important as the half-life of knowledge and skills becomes shorter and shorter.
