OpenEDG is the parent organization of the OpenEDG Python Institute, the C++ Institute, and the JS Institute. OpenEDG provides independent, vendor-neutral certifications in the field of programming, recognized globally by many multinational corporations, international public and private institutions, and many government organizations. In addition to world-leading exam certifications, OpenEDG also provides interactive courseware to not only prepare test takers for the exams, but also to train a new generation of programmers from absolute beginners to advanced professionals. What’s more, all OpenEDG courseware is provided free of charge.


Open Source Certification GmbH represents various globally recognized open source certification providers on the market, such as the LPI and the OpenEDG Institute as a channel partner. As a partner, we look for and support further education partners for LPI, OpenEDG Python Institute and C++ Institute programs as part of its business activities.


The new partnership between OpenEDG and Open Source Certification will facilitate access to Python, JavaScript, and C & C++ certifications and learning materials in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), enabling students in the region to access OpenEDG learning materials and schedule and pass the OpenEDG certifications. In the coming weeks and months, Open Source Certification will begin signing up new academies and institutions, training them on how best to use OpenEDG’s learning materials in order to prepare their students for their programming industry certifications, and then providing the institutions with all the support they need to ensure that their students pass those certifications and go on to become highly skilled and valued programmers in the job market.


“I am very excited about what we are going to be able to do with Open Source Certification as our partner. With this new partnership, we are one step closer to fulfilling our dream of training an entire new generation of programmers.” – Mac Wichary, VP & CEO, OpenEDG.


“Python is the most important programming language in the world and one of the most important open source projects in the world. We are very pleased to have found OpenEDG, an important educational partner, to help us in the DACH region to make this important knowledge available to our market with extensive free learning materials and globally recognized certifications.” - Reiner Brandt, CEO - Open Source Certification GmbH
