Pros and cons

Pros

  • Tutor support and assessments both come as standard, so a cohort gets instructor feedback rather than recorded material alone.
  • Delivery covers online and in person, so remote staff and office staff can sit the same certification track.
  • Support reaches learners by email, phone and help centre, which is wider than email alone.
  • A team plan is offered, which suits an employer putting a whole department onto one certification.
  • Courses are listed in German and English, so a mixed German and English team can be trained in the language that suits each person.

Cons

  • The exam fee is not included, and the certificate is billed at €220 on top of a course at €870.
  • A practicum is not attached, and that puts Maxpert in the minority here since 75% of providers in this field include one.
  • There is no free tier, so the material cannot be sampled first; exam practice from CrackCerts starts at $9.99 instead.
  • Credentials lapse every 3 years, so the entry price of €870 is not the full lifetime cost of holding the certificate.

Who it suits

  • German speaking IT service managers who need a professional certificate and would rather have a tutor than a video library.
  • Companies booking a group, since a team plan is offered and delivery covers online and in-person sessions.
  • Learners who want a wider catalogue, with subjects listed as it, data and business, so IT training can sit beside the rest of a skills budget.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Learners on a small budget: CrackCerts is listed at $9.99 and Testprep Training at $12.99, against €870 for Maxpert.
  • People after a coaching credential, since Marisa Peer lists coaching while the Maxpert certificate type is IT.
  • Anyone hoping to test the water first, as there is no free tier and no exam fee inside the €870 course price.

Core features

Tutor support is part of the package, and assessments are part of what a learner faces at the end of a track, so the teaching is instructor led rather than self-paced video. Two things sit outside the price. A practicum is not attached, which places Maxpert in the minority here, since 75% of providers in this field include one. The exam fee is not included either, with only 13.6% leaving it out of the course price. Recertification is a repeat cost on top of that, because credentials lapse every 3 years.

The company behind it

The provider is Maxpert GmbH, based in Germany, and it has been running courses since 1993, so this is an established operation rather than a recent launch. Learner support runs on email, phone and help centre, which means a question about an enrolment, an invoice or a session can reach a person on the phone as well as a help centre. Contract terms sit with the same legal entity, which is worth checking against a billing address outside Germany.

How Maxpert compares

Frequently asked questions

What does a Maxpert course cost at the entry level?+

Entry prices sit at €870 for the IT service management tracks. That is well above the median entry price of €285.43 across career certifications, where the cheaper quarter of listings start at €43.19. Certificate costs are billed on top, which is why the total lands higher than the headline figure.

Is the exam fee included in the course price?+

No. The exam fee is not included in the listed course price, and the certificate is charged at €220. Most providers in this field fold the exam into the fee, with 86.4% including it, so it is worth setting money aside for the exam before enrolling.

Do I have to recertify later, and what does that cost?+

Credentials lapse and have to be renewed every 3 years, so the entry price of €870 is not the full lifetime cost of keeping the certificate current. Plan the renewal module into the budget at the point of purchase, and check what the renewal course costs on its own.

Is there a free tier or a free trial?+

There is no free tier, so the material cannot be sampled before a purchase decision is made. Course price starts at €870 and the certificate adds €220. Anyone who wants a lower-risk first look would need to weigh cheaper exam practice products against a full taught course.

Can I study online or do I need to attend in person?+

Both. Delivery covers online and in person, so the same certification can be taken remotely or in a room, which suits mixed teams. Live cohort training is the minority format here, with 6.9% of the listings tracked being bootcamps, so self-paced and subscription models are easy to find elsewhere.

Which languages are the courses taught in?+

Courses are listed in German and English, so German and English speaking colleagues can be trained in the language each prefers. The provider is a German entity, Maxpert GmbH, and has been running courses since 1993, which is worth noting for invoicing and employer purchase orders in Europe.

Can I book a whole team onto one course?+

Yes, a team plan is offered, so an employer can put a department onto the same certification track rather than enrolling people one at a time. Team arrangements are common in this field, with 100% of providers offering them, and in-person delivery suits offices that want training on their own site.

Is supervised workplace practice part of the course?+

A practicum is not attached to the IT service management tracks, so learners get course material and assessments rather than supervised workplace practice. Practicums are the norm in this category, appearing at 75% of providers, so anyone whose role depends on logged practice should plan for that separately.
