history
Cognos AG in its present form has existed since 1989. Before that, the company was on the market under the name IFBE Institute for Vocational Adult Education.
IFBE Institute for Vocational Adult Education
The IFBE Institute was founded in 1975 in Hamburg by Bernhard Peters and Rolf Schmidt. The company's focus at the beginning was on setting up advanced training and retraining centers. In 1979 the company started setting up technical and commercial training centers, followed in 1980 by setting up medical training centers with state recognition. In 1989 the company acquired 14 state-recognized vocational schools in the medical-technical field and introduced the brand name DIE SCHULE for professions with a future for training in health professions.
Cognos AG
In 1989, the IFBE Institute for Occupational Adult Education was renamed Cognos AG . In the years that followed, the company grew through the expansion of existing investments and the acquisition of external educational institutions.
In 1989, Cognos AG acquired the Bad Harzburg Management Academy (today: Academy for Business Executives) and thus expanded to include an institution outside of the healthcare sector. In 1995 she entered the university market with a stake in the Hochschule Fresenius (then: Europa Fachhochschule Fresenius). In 2001, the move abroad followed with the acquisition of the University of Regional Development and Banking Institute in Prague.
The Hochschule Fresenius currently has locations and study centers in Idstein, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Berlin, Heidelberg and New York City (USA) and offers five departments (chemistry & biology, health & social affairs, economics & Media, design, onlineplus). The Ludwig Fresenius Schools have around 80 facilities at 30 locations in Germany. The company grew in 2013 with the acquisition of the Dr. W. Blindow, whose locations were integrated into the Ludwig Fresenius schools. The offer of the Ludwig Fresenius schools today includes training and further education in the fields of therapy & prevention, naturopathy & alternative medicine, nursing & education, laboratory & natural sciences, technology as well as business & tourism.
Also in 2013 the participation in the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management took place. In 2015 the University for International Management Heidelberg (HIM) was bought, which has been part of the Hochschule Fresenius brand since 2017. In 2015, Cognos founded the Lunex University of Health, Exercise and Sports in Luxembourg.
