A record year driven by AI, Agentic AI, and Security marks the largest growth surge in Fast Lane's history

Fast Lane Group Reaches Historic Milestone: Over 600,000 Instructor-Led Training Sessions Delivered Worldwide in Just 12 Months

Hamburg, August 2026 – Over the past twelve months, the Fast Lane Group has trained more than 600,000 learners worldwide in instructor-led sessions for the first time in the company's history – 92% delivered virtually, 8% in physical classrooms. The milestone marks a defining turning point for the company and underscores Fast Lane's global reach, with training offerings and customers in more than 90 countries.

Notably, well over half of all training sessions were delivered in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Agent Development – a clear signal of how quickly organizations worldwide are upskilling their teams for an AI-driven future of work. In the core disciplines of Security and Networking, demand remained equally strong: roughly 50,000 learners each were trained in these two areas over the past twelve months – clear evidence that Fast Lane remains a trusted partner for securing and building critical infrastructure, even beyond the AI wave.

Reaching 600,000 learners in a single year is a milestone we at Fast Lane are incredibly proud of, said Torsten Poels, CEO & Chairman of the Board of the Fast Lane Group.

It reflects the speed and determination with which organizations worldwide are investing in upskilling their people, above all in Artificial Intelligence and Agentic AI. Over the past twelve months, we've proven that we can not only meet this enormous demand but scale it with the highest quality – both virtually and in person. That's something we, as a company, are incredibly proud of.

This record reflects a fundamental shift in IT training: organizations everywhere are under significant pressure to prepare their workforce, quickly and at scale, for AI technologies, Agentic AI, and modern security requirements. As the only global partner of all three cloud hyperscalers – Microsoft, AWS, and Google – and a partner to more than 30 additional leading IT vendors, Fast Lane is uniquely positioned to meet this demand at a scale unmatched in the company's history.

Building on this record achievement, Fast Lane plans to further expand its training portfolio around AI, Agentic AI, and Security, to keep preparing organizations and professionals worldwide for the technological challenges of tomorrow.
