The TÜV AUSTRIA Academy was named the best overall provider in the major industry magazine ranking.
Once a year, INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN selects the best seminar providers in Austria in various categories, including the overall provider.
A panel of 300 decision-makers from industrial companies as well as 300 employees with seminar experience evaluated 91 providers of training courses in terms of quality. The offer of the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy, the educational institute of the TÜV AUSTRIA Group, was voted number 1 in the overall provider category.
We say: “Thank you!” to all our customers who helped us achieve this top ranking. Proof that we have successfully mastered the special challenges of this time – and are also well equipped for the future.
Quality counts
The trend toward even higher quality was evident in the overall provider category, among others. Last year’s winner, the WIFI – Economic Development Institute of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, was able to improve its image score compared to the previous year, but it was not enough for first place. A very special success for the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy! In third place is the ICC Austria International Chamber of Commerce.
“For us, the rating as “Best Seminar Provider in Austria” is both a confirmation and a mandate to fulfill educational requirements of people and organizations with the highest quality standards, the best service and, above all, the most effective transfer of learning into practice. In doing so, we experience the appreciative cooperation with all customers, instructors and employees as a key success factor, thank you very much!”, says Thomas Rochowansky, Head of Learning Services.
Christian Bayer, Managing Director of TÜV AUSTRIA Akademie, does not see the award as the most important issue for his customers: “Training and further education is a targeted investment in employees, their competence and ability to implement. Practical orientation, benefits and motivation far outweigh the conditions. At the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy, we notice the great demand for flexible, compact educational offers – in presence, online or combined – and for a competent network.”
The seminar provider ranking was carried out by brandscore.at on behalf of INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN. The basis for the ranking was the image value that a seminar provider could achieve. The value one stands for the best possible image, five for the worst possible image. The evaluation was also based on a study of how seminar providers deal with current challenges such as pandemics and digitization.
