"Netology-group" arose as a result of the merger in the fall of 2014 of the educational platform "Netology" (training in marketing, management and other business skills) and the center of online school education "Foxford" (preparation for the exam, GIA, school olympiads).
Online platform with interactive courses is the flagship educational product of Netology, adapted to the needs of the modern user. Each course is a set of video lectures and tests with elements of gamification. This structure helps to keep the student's attention and track their progress on their own. The project business model is that users get access to all courses at once using the subscription model.
As of April 2014, about 30 courses are available on the site and more than 3,000 people have completed them.

History
2024: Sber bought Netologiya
Sberbank closed the deal to acquire the Netologiya educational platform and the Foxford online school. This became known in mid-October 2024.
According to Kommersant, citing sources in the online education market, the deal is estimated at ₽4 -6 billion. Officials from Sberbank, Netology and Foxford have not yet commented on the deal.
Netology and Foxford are among the largest EdTech companies in Russia. According to the Smart Ranking, in the second quarter of 2024, Foxford took 7th place in terms of revenue among online educational platforms, and Netology took 14th place.
The history of Netology began in 2011, and in 2014 the company merged with Foxford to form the Netology Group holding. During the existence of Netology, 35 thousand people became its graduates, and Foxford trained 250 thousand students.
Anastasia Mironova, editor of the industry Telegram channel Edtechno, suggests that after integration into the Sberbank structure, Netologiya and Foxford may either lose part of their autonomy with full integration into the bank's corporate structure, or maintain relative independence with closer cooperation with other services of the company.
Experts do not exclude possible changes in the top management of educational platforms, although key managers are expected to maintain their positions. Currently, the CEO of Netology is Marianna Snigireva, and Foxford is Andrey Sizov.
The acquisition by Sberbank of large educational online platforms reflects the growing interest of investors in the EdTech sector. According to analysts, in the first half of 2024, companies in this sector attracted venture capital financing in the amount of $4.09 million, which exceeds the indicators of other industries.[1]
2022: Association of Netology and Edmarket
In mid-June 2022, it became known about the merger online schools of "" and Netology EdMarket. Both platforms were part of Severstal the TalentTech holding, and after the deal was concluded, EdMarket became one of the divisions of Netology. More. here
2017: " Netology" opens campus
On November 1, the Netologiya University of Internet Professions, a division of the Netologiya Group holding, announced the launch of the campus, the first offline educational center in its history. The platform with halls for conducting curricula and courses, as well as a common space for organizing events for students and graduates of Netology opens on November 1 in the center of Moscow.
According to Alexei Polekhin, operating director of Netology, the creation of the campus was a natural step in the development of the company. "Research shows that at the moment the market for full-time additional education in the field of digital exceeds the online segment by 9-10 times. Therefore, without changing the essence - teaching "digital" professions and reporting the most relevant knowledge about technologies and the market, we are expanding our presence in an offline format that is convenient for the audience. This format does not cancel online learning, but, on the contrary, complements it, since the student is in direct contact with this business environment that he investigates and works in. " According to the expectations of the management of Netology, the share of offline project revenues in the turnover of the online university will be more than 50%.
The campus launches semi-annual and two-month training programs in specialties: director of Internet marketing, head of digital product, data scientist, etc. In the near future, the schedule will also include day courses for specialists who want to quickly master a new applied specialty (programming, working with data, etc.) and courses in new professions for schoolchildren. "The IT workforce in Russia is obvious," notes Alexey Polekhin. According to statistics, only 2% of Russians work in this area, while on average in the world this figure is at the level of 4%. Netology campus programs, in particular, train high-level managers and specialists for this segment of the labor market. Since there are no analogues of such narrowly segmented educational institutions in Russia, our campus can play a significant role in training personnel in a number of regions of Russia. " According to the plans of the creators, it will become an educational accelerator, where a student can go from a prototype of the "future of himself" to stable earnings and enter the "big digital."
