Mandatory training takes up a significant share of the training plan. It is time-consuming and must be provable in the event of an audit. Yet employees often see it as a chore. For HR and quality teams, the challenge is twofold: ensuring compliance and getting learners truly engaged.
With Plakos joining the Edflex ecosystem, you now have content designed to meet both requirements.
Plakos, the German expert in regulatory training and exam preparation
Plakos has more than 500,000 users and offers 1,000 practice exercises every month. Based in Germany, the publisher has become a key player in exam preparation and assessment across the DACH region.
Its teaching approach rests on one belief: mandatory training can be practical and engaging. Plakos Academy uses realistic scenarios, interactive hotspots and flashcards to build the right habits. All content remains legally sound and audit-ready.
The publisher also offers an extensive German-language library aligned with the dual vocational training system (Duale Ausbildung). It prepares learners for IHK exams and national exams in retail and business, IT, technical trades, healthcare and logistics.
