AURELIUS subsidiary AKAD receives the eLearning Award and other awards
- Chosen for its highly efficient and individual digital studies model
- Several top scores compared to other distance learning providers
- Operational realignment leads to high level of customer satisfaction
Munich/Stuttgart, May 2018 - AKAD Bildungsgesellschaft mbH, the subsidiary
of the pan-European investment group AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & Co.
KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) ("AURELIUS"), has recently received several awards
for its AKAD University. First, the eLearning Journal gave it the eLearning
Award 2018 in the "Digital Studies Model" category at the world's leading
education fair, didacta. The project presentation in the portal of the
eLearning Journal states that AKAD University "raised the efficiency and
practicability of distance learning for students to a new level" with the
advancement of the virtual AKAD Campus. It also stated that "The student can
be supported and guided through the entire program of study much more
efficiently and in a way that is tailored to his or her personal learning
behavior and learning pace than would be possible in some classroom
programs."
Top score in DeutschlandTest
In the "Learning for Life" DeutschlandTest published by Focus magazine in
its 5/2018 issue, AKAD University was awarded the title of "Top Distance
Learning Institution/Distance University." It received an above-average
score of 2.97 (2 = very satisfied, 3 = satisfied) in this category. The
private, Stuttgart-based distance university also scored above-average
customer satisfaction in the category of "Institutions for Vocational
Education" (2.92). Therefore, AKAD University is the only German university
to be listed as the best provider in two different categories.
DeutschlandTest had commissioned the analysis and consulting firm
ServiceValue to study the continuing education market. It assessed 116
providers in eight categories, based on the opinions of 17,436 customers.
Comparison portal also gives good grades
The comparison portal FernstudiumCheck.de also gave AKAD University good
grades after being evaluated by 344 users last year. The result: 95 percent
recommend it to others, for an average grade of 4.1 (best grade: 5.0). AKAD
University is therefore entitled to bear the quality seal of "Top Distance
University" as one of the most popular German providers.
Prof. Dr. Ronny Fürst, CEO and Chancellor of AKAD University: "Satisfied
customers are also the result of the successful realignment of AKAD
University, by which we made the transformation from classroom university to
online university. Without the financial support of our shareholder AURELIUS
and its courage to harness technological advances to enable people to study
even better from any place and at any time in the near and distant future,
we would not have received these special awards."
