Teachers looking for high-quality training programmes and courses now have a wider range of options with the acquisition of Springest by Archipel Academy. The takeover of the top-tier European training-booking marketplace by the AI-driven learning platform will enhance the learning experience for all organisations involved and expand the reach of Studytube and Archipel Academy in the European market.
Established in Amsterdam in 2008 by CEO Ruben Timmerman, Springest is an independent comparison website for training programmes and courses. It has around 570 subjects, including public speaking, software engineering, contract law and more, that fit one learning and budget. With this acquisition, Archipel Academy has significantly expanded its learning offer and gained access to the Springest infrastructure in Germany, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and other European countries.
The distribution of Springest’s customer base has seen some changes, with organisations such as BAM, Eneco, Holland Casino, Athora, and Essent transitioning to the Studytube learning platform. The Dutch platform has a wide range of courses from various learning suppliers, ensuring that these organisations have access to high-quality training programmes and are able to harness the potential of every employee.
The acquisition of Springest by Archipel Academy also means that the latter’s employees will be employed by Archipel Academy and continue operating from the Netherlands and Germany. There will be no direct impact on the service of the respective marketplaces of Springest, Studytube, and Archipel Academy as each marketplace will continue to operate independently, serving its respective customer bases with unique offerings.
Teachers looking for training courses can now turn to the Studytube learning platform, which makes employee development simple and accessible. It also has access to over 2,000 trainers and 70,000 training courses, giving teachers plenty of options to choose from. Companies such as Achmea, Volksbank, T-Mobile, Vattenfall, Aegon, NS, Stork, PostNL, and Siemens have chosen to remain on the Springest platform.
With the takeover of Springest, teachers now have access to a wider range of learning options. This move will not only enhance the learning experience for both organisations and teachers but also further expand the reach of Studytube and Archipel Academy in the European market.
