German training sector: providers invest in quality assurance

With regard to the economic development the German training sector is still optimistic. Especially those training providers whose customers are enterprises are in a positive mood. They expect enterprises to invest more in further training because of the positive overall economic development.

The opposite trend applies to the situation of providers with mostly public sector customers. Here the outlook is far less bright because of the poor financial situation of the public sector.
