Fobizz reaches milestone

According to its own figures, one in four teachers in Germany has already completed further training with Fobizz.

The Fobizz training platform for teachers has been on the market since 2018. Theresa Grotendorst and Diane Knodel's start-up has now reached an important milestone: 200,000 teachers are already using the service, which, according to the start-up, is around 25% of all teachers in Germany. In 2021 alone, users of the platform completed 500,000 online training courses.

Around 100 lecturers share their knowledge with teachers on the training platform. Teachers learn how to use digital media in the classroom. In this way, Fobizz aims to reduce the deficit in digital skills that has become particularly apparent during homeschooling during the pandemic.

"We are convinced that training is the key to digital education and the lever for a good education for our children," says Fobizz founder Theresa Grotendorst. "We are on the right track, because with fobizz we have already been able to improve the teaching and education of more than five million students."
