The history of the MPU Academy

About us and the creation

“Every person is an individual and deserves to be seen as such” – this shared vision led Yoni Shapira and Gunnar Hoyer to the innovative idea of founding today’s MPU Academy in 2013.

Psychologist Gunnar and online expert Yoni met in 2013 at the Social Impact Lab, a meeting place for sustainable startups, and during lunchtime conversations, they came up with the idea of founding the MPU Academy. Gunnar's professional experience in psychology, traffic psychology, and as a former MPU assessor at TÜV Hessen, combined with Yoni's online expertise and digital expertise, identified significant flaws in the existing MPU system. They made it their mission to address these flaws with their MPU Academy and to individualize, facilitate, and optimize preparation for the MPU exam. Gunnar and Yoni emphasized two key aspects:

1. Individual preparation

Firstly, Gunnar, as an MPU assessor at TÜV, has repeatedly observed that many of his colleagues stoically follow the same standard procedure, without addressing the individual backgrounds of those being assessed (drug use, running red lights, etc.) – this regularly resulted in participants failing the MPU. Recognizing the individual with their personal offenses, focusing on them, and preparing them individually for the MPU is a fundamental principle of the MPU Academy.

2. Location-independent accessibility

The second main aspect was accessibility. Access to professional MPU consultations Very limited, especially if no transportation is available. Mobility is essential these days, and the MPU Academy, thanks to its online concept, guarantees all participants the opportunity for personalized and competent preparation—completely independent of location. Likewise, the participants' other personal circumstances, both professional and personal, are fully incorporated into the MPU preparation by coordinating discussions and preparations in terms of timing and personal details.

These innovative aspects of the MPU Academy were very positively received and accepted by the participants. The enormous individuality and flexibility guaranteed by the MPU Academy's unique concept at fair prices not only brought great satisfaction to the academy's participants but also led to the MPU Academy's success.

We stand behind our concept.
The MPU Academy is now the market leader and pioneer in the field of MPU preparation. The academy currently employs 7 Traffic psychologists, which has already successfully prepared several thousand people for their MPU exams. The numerous positive testimonials The reviews and ratings speak for themselves – online preparation is an absolute must for many these days, personal contact with psychologists is incredibly helpful, and passing the MPU is the crowning achievement. People helping people.
