The US education and training services industry includes about 45,000 companies and 300,000 self-employed individuals with combined annual revenue of nearly $30 billion.

The industry is highly fragmented: depending on the segment, the 50 largest companies represent only 15 to 40 percent of total revenue.
Education and training services is a broad category that encompasses job-specific certification; professional training; and classes emphasizing self-fulfillment, leisure, and hobbies. Many of the industry’s programs, classes, and training services fall under the category of career and technical education (CTE), historically known as vocational education, or "vo-tech.” High schools, community colleges, universities, and educational support services aren't included in this industry.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand for certification classes is driven by employment trends in the medical, high technology, and manufacturing industries.
