Our cooperation partners
Specialised partners for training programmes, funding, AI and data-driven growth.
BES Academy designs training programmes tailored to a company’s goals and role profiles — rather than off-the-shelf courses. Topics range from artificial intelligence, data & analytics and prompt engineering via SAP, Salesforce and project management through to change management and sales.
The programmes run online, full-time or part-time, with flexible duration. Under the Qualification Opportunities Act (QCG) of the Federal Employment Agency, both course fees and wage costs can be subsidised; BES Academy checks funding eligibility and supports the application through to submission.
Marius Hein is founder and Managing Director of BES Academy and an expert in funded training. He previously was Managing Director at the Digital Career Institute, a leading provider of digital training programmes.
