Findcourses.co.uk named top player in EdTech for second year running

Educations.com Media Group (EMG), parent company of Findcourses.co.uk, has once again been selected as one of the fastest growing and most innovative e-learning companies in Europe. The EdTech 20 ranking is organised by education technology company Edxus Group in partnership with specialist media investment advisory firm IBIS capital.

“We were extremely proud when we received this award last year. To win it twice in a row is just fantastic!”, says Mattias Säker, CEO of EMG’s further education business unit, FindCourses Global.

Evaluated in terms of their growth and innovation potential, the 2014 entries to EdTech Europe ranking were received from over 100 companies from across 15 European countries. Of these, 20 were shortlisted and named the frontrunners in the European education technology landscape by an expert panel including representatives from Pearson, TSL and Emerge Education.

EMG is one of just three companies to have received the award for the second year running.

The goal behind the awards is to highlight and promote key players in the education technology arena, shedding light on new trends and how these affect Europe’s ability to compete in the global market. In 2014, the most notable of these are the rise of the virtual classroom, language learning and tools for enhancing workplace and professional industry training. FindCourses Global continues to work on this front, developing an expanding portfolio of web-based resources focused on helping professionals an HR departments across all industries find the right professional development solutions for their needs. These include a number of country-specific course search engines – including Findcourses.co.uk – as well as online advice & guidance services and the tailor-made corporate training procurement solution referred to as FindCourses PRO.
