The continuing-education market is hard for those seeking advice to see through: bloated course catalogues, scattered participant feedback, and the real question — what fits me? — is answered by no portal.
Bildungskompass24 adds an independent refinement layer on top of publicly available course data: which providers are genuinely reliable, whether courses are any good, and whether the occupation pays off. Free for participants, taking no money from the rated providers.
'Announced vs. actually started' compared per provider — the signal that plain course catalogues don't give you.
A transparency score (what the provider discloses, improvable by them) and an independent anomaly indicator (from public data, methodically explained, not a verdict).
Every field shows where it comes from — ● verified or ○ provider claim — plus 'last updated'. Traceable instead of a black box.
Legal form, locations, certifications and moderated participant reviews in one place instead of scattered.
Salary range and job demand per occupation from official Federal Employment Agency data.
A guided assistant that suggests fitting education paths from your interests, prior qualifications and life situation — advisory, never prescriptive.
We rate providers by data, not by gut feeling. The method is open to inspection. We check provider profiles in three stages: stage 1 = self-disclosure, stage 2 = evidence verified, stage 3 = cross-checked with participant feedback.
How much does the provider disclose? For example: certificates, success figures, contacts. The more a provider states, the higher the score. Every provider can raise their score themselves — through openness.
Some providers list many course dates that never take place. We check this against public data (including the Federal Employment Agency). A high value means: take a closer look. It's an indication — not proof of misconduct.
What becomes of the participants? We show how many are employed after 6 and 12 months — and reviews submitted only some time after the course ended. Those count for more than instant feedback.
Instead of combing through course lists, you answer a few questions about your interests, prior qualifications and life situation. The compass breaks your path into building blocks — and shows which of them belong together.
The core measure (e.g. an IHK retraining) stays one building block with one provider. Add-on blocks like language or coaching can be added flexibly before or after.
Bildungskompass24 takes no money from the providers it rates — no payments, no commissions, no ad slots. For participants the platform is permanently free. Only this way can we compare across providers in the interest of learners, instead of running pay-to-play.
