THE EDUSERVICES SCHOOLS GROUP TAKES UP POSITION ON THE ONLINE TRAINING MARKET BY JOINING FORCES WITH ONE OF THE MARKET LEADERS

The Eduservices Group, which is specialised in private education and owns 25 schools in France and abroad, has become the majority shareholder of the professional online training organisation named L'École française, a French expert in digital teaching and a specialist in short and professional continuing education.

A partnership that allows Eduservices to:

• strengthen its 100% online Bachelors and MBA training offer
• develop a digital pole including its subsidiaries Ipac Online, IPAC FP and AFTEC FP (professional training) but also its startup SEIRA
• offer online training to its students who attend courses in person
• promote the AFEST (Action of Training in a Work Situation) for its apprentices
• contribute to the employment needs of regions
• reduce its carbon footprint thanks to the in person/online mix
• develop its services to major partner accounts and the Pôle emploi concerning professions with a future promise.

For L'École Française, this merger allows them to rely on an industrial partner that extends its offer by contributing its educational resources and professional certifications.

"L'École française brings us its agility as a StartUp and its digital DNA with recognised quality and reinforces our educational engineering offer for young people and companies. Rigorous monitoring of quality, measurement of efficiency and learner experience; these values are at the centre of the project that binds us together" says Vincent Dupuy, Managing Director of Eduservices

"The ambition of this merger is to offer new 100% online training courses by relying on Eduservices school expertise, to train professionals in the key skills of today and tomorrow. We will combine our expertise in digital learning with the educational excellence of Eduservices to meet our mission: to give French people the power of knowing", adds Jean-Charles Brandely, CEO of L'École française
