bit media

What bit media Is

bit media (Schweiz) AG is an education technology company in Zurich, at Bederstrasse 33, whose German-language site describes its work as "Wir digitalisieren Bildung mit innovativen Produkten & Lösungen" (we digitize education with innovative products and solutions). It is not a single course but a set of related products: e-learning for the ICDL digital skills certification, a digital skills platform for schools, a work-skills learning platform, an online shop for software training courses, and an electronic testing system. A news item on the home page, headed "Gebündelte Lösungen: bit media group," points to a wider bit media group behind the Swiss company.

That spread explains why one entry sits in three places in this directory. A learner preparing for the ICDL exam is looking at LONA, a school looking for digital skills lessons for its pupils is looking at digi.skills, and an institution that needs to run tests and exams on screen is looking at ITS.

The site names three audiences: schools and educational institutions; companies and vocational basic training (berufliche Grundbildung, the Swiss apprenticeship system); and teachers, pupils and parents.

LONA E-Learning for ICDL

For test prep, the product is LONA E-Learning für ICDL. The home page says: "ICDL ist eine international anerkannte Zertifizierung von digitalen Kompetenzen" (ICDL is an internationally recognized certification of digital competencies). bit media sells four LONA learning packages, each matched to an ICDL level:

• ICDL BASE CLASSIC
• ICDL WORKFORCE BASE
• ICDL BASE & STANDARD
• ICDL ADVANCED

The site says these packages prepare learners well for the exam in a way that is "praxisnah, übersichtlich und flexibel" (practical, clearly organized and flexible). The package names track the ICDL's own structure, from the base modules every candidate starts with to the advanced level, so a learner picks the package for the ICDL level they are aiming at. LONA is the preparation; the ICDL certification itself is the internationally recognized credential the learner sits for at the end.

digi.skills for Schools

digi.skills is the school product. The home page says the platform "dient der Förderung von Digitalkompetenz bei Lehrpersonen und Schüler:innen" (serves to promote digital competence among teachers and pupils), and that its learning environment combines competence checks with individualized online learning content. In practice that means a pupil or teacher first takes a check that shows where they stand, then works through online material matched to the result. A separate digi.skills education strand is presented as "Förderung von Digitalkompetenz an Schulen" (promoting digital competence in schools), under the banner "Moderne Lösungen für Verwaltung und Pädagogik" (modern solutions for administration and teaching).

This is the product behind the entry's place among kids' and school courses. Teachers and pupils use the same platform, which lets a school raise staff skills and pupil skills with one tool rather than buying two.

The one published price on the site belongs here. A digi.skills anniversary package runs from 1 May to 31 December 2026, "zum Preis von 20.- pro User für alle Pakete" (at a price of 20.- per user for all packages), so the platform is licensed per user.

LONA Education

LONA Education is a learning platform aimed at professional skills. The home page says it helps learners prepare for the demands of their working lives in four areas: digital basic skills, business, health, and IT security. It fits the vocational training audience the site names, where apprentices and employees need workplace digital and business skills rather than an exam certificate.

IT Application Software Courses

Through its online shop, bit media sells e-learning courses for application software. The process is simple: you choose a course and receive a voucher code. After activation, the courses are available on the web-based learning portal for 12 months from the first login, and within that period you can open and work through every course as often as you like. Because access is by voucher, an employer or school can buy codes and hand them out without setting up accounts in advance.

ITS Exam System

On the assessment side, the ITS Prüfungssystem (interactive testing studio) is the product for organizations that run tests. The home page says ITS supports the organization and running of electronic tests and exams "ganzheitlich, innovativ und flexibel" (holistically, innovatively and flexibly). It covers the whole cycle of an on-screen exam, which is what places bit media among quiz and assessment tools in this directory. For a school, a training center or an exam body, that means ITS is meant to handle exams from preparation through delivery, not just a single quiz.

The E-Testing menu also lists Basic Check Europe, with a flyer to download, and DCP, while the menu names a further product called Ressourcen-Mosaik.

Partners

The partner page lists C & C Media GmbH, ICDL/digital literacy, Swiss Learning Hub, edulog, educa, Chambre des salariés Luxembourg, Luxembourg Lifelong Learning Centre, Minerva, Roche, Alithis, BBZ Olten, worlddidac and Mebikon. The mix of Swiss education bodies, a vocational school, Luxembourg adult education institutions and a large employer reflects the school, vocational and corporate audiences the company serves.

Buying and Contact

Software training courses are bought directly in the online shop, where the voucher code is issued. For the platforms (digi.skills, LONA, LONA Education and ITS), each product section leads to a fuller product page, and the company takes enquiries by phone on +41 (0) 44 586 20 04, by email at info@bitmedia.ch, or through the contact form on the site. The site also publishes general terms (AGB), a privacy statement and a news section that carries offers such as the digi.skills anniversary package.

Who It Suits

bit media suits Swiss and German-speaking learners preparing for the ICDL who want packaged, self-paced preparation matched to their level, and schools that want one platform to check and build the digital skills of both pupils and teachers, priced per user. Vocational schools and employers can use LONA Education and voucher-based software courses for apprentices and staff, and institutions that need to run exams on screen can look at ITS. The site is in German and gives few details beyond the product descriptions, so buyers should expect to contact the company for a demo and a quote; the digi.skills anniversary offer is the only price shown.
