What has XtremeLabs won?
XtremeLabs LLC has won 15 Stevie Awards in the International Business Awards between 2019 and 2026: seven Gold, seven Silver, and one People's Choice Stevie Award for Favorite Companies.
The wins cluster in three places. The education technology product category has produced a Gold in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The company categories recognized workforce development and upskilling. The service categories recognized the support, product, and content teams who run the platform day to day.
Judging is independent, and entries are scored against a published field rather than against a threshold. That is what separates a win from a claim. Both 2026 Silver categories publish every winner, and those full fields are reproduced on this page.
