The LPLUS TestStudio was developed by the Bremen company LPLUS already in 1987. Initially, it was aimed at the national and international training of pilots and air traffic controllers, but was introduced in Further Education Colleges across Germany already in the 1990s. In addition to international companies which use LPLUS TestStudio for internal professional development programmes, universities as well as chambers of industry and commerce have run legally compliant examinations with LPLUS TestStudio since 2004.
