We’re proud to share that Edcetera has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

It’s an exciting milestone and one that represents far more than growth on a spreadsheet.

Edcetera’s story began with PDH Academy, the company built by Mark Newcomer with a focus on helping professionals meet continuing education requirements and move forward in their careers. Over the years, that foundation has grown into something much larger: Edcetera, a powerhouse in education, exam preparation, continuing education, and regulated professional training.

Today, Edcetera supports learners and professionals across a growing range of industries and career stages. From students preparing for some of the most important exams of their lives to experienced professionals maintaining licenses, earning continuing education credits, and advancing their careers, our work is centered on one idea: education should create opportunity.

Growth Measured in More Than Numbers

Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 recognizes business growth, but the number we’re most proud of is the number of people we’ve been able to serve.

Hundreds of thousands of learners and professionals have used Edcetera’s brands, courses, resources, and technology to take the next step in their careers.

Behind each of those learners is a story. Those individual moments are what turn growth into impact. As Edcetera has expanded, so has our responsibility to make professional education more accessible, effective, and useful to the people who depend on it.

Built by a Team That Keeps Moving Forward

Reaching the Inc. 5000 would not have been possible without the people behind Edcetera.

Our team has brought together established education brands, deep industry expertise, technology, content, and new ideas while continuing to evolve how we serve our learners. Growth at this scale requires constant collaboration across content, product, technology, operations, marketing, customer experience, sales, and countless other functions. It also requires a willingness to keep asking how we can make the experience better.

That work continues every day.

And We’re Just Getting Started

Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an opportunity to celebrate how far Edcetera has come, but we’re even more excited about where we’re going.

We see enormous opportunity to continue improving the way people prepare for exams, maintain professional credentials, develop new skills, and navigate their careers. The next chapter of Edcetera will be about continuing to grow—but more importantly, continuing to grow our impact.

To our employees, partners, instructors, customers, and the hundreds of thousands of learners who have trusted an Edcetera brand along the way: thank you for being part of the journey.

Making the Inc. 5000 is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.
