About us
The idea
In early January 2010 Torsten Kämper had a brilliant idea: to bring trainers and those eager to learn together on a web-based platform and support the virtual exchange of knowledge - that's the approach. This idea initiated the formation of the edudip GmbH in Aachen.
After some research and input from many trainers and teachers, we discovered that the planning and implementation of webinars has been very complicated and expensive. We wanted to do things differently: namely simple.
