What Eduservices does

Eduservices is a French private higher-education group founded in 2010 and headquartered in Levallois-Perret, operating 21 school brands and apprentice training centers (CFA) across 46 French cities, plus international campuses in Madrid and Geneva. The group serves approximately 43,000 students and 33,000 apprentices, with programs spanning Bac to Bac+5 across business, management, digital, hospitality, tourism, sport management, design, audiovisual, fashion, accounting, finance, purchasing, and luxury sectors. Its go-to-market is sales-led and multi-brand: 10 national brands (Pigier, École Internationale Tunon, IPAC Bachelor Factory, ISCOM, MBway, MyDigitalSchool, Studio M, WIN Sport School, IHECF, My French Degree), 11 regional brands, and 4 online/professional brands deliver degree programs in both initial and alternance (work-study) formats, supported by a network of 53,000 partner companies for student placements and 60% alternance-to-permanent employment conversion.

The group's core technology stack is centered on the proprietary SEIRA SaaS learning management system, which supports blended and online learning with Qualiopi certification compatibility, LinkedIn Learning content integration, SCORM support, social learning, and gamification. AI is deployed as a pedagogical assistant to personalize educational paths, and digital infrastructure is centralized across campuses via a private VPN/MPLS fiber network, unified communications, video conferencing, and standardized Wi-Fi. The group also operates the internal Eduservices Academy for staff development and a student-business incubator (Red Minds) with In Extenso.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees (initial programs) and work-study contracts paid by partner employers (alternance programs), supplemented by continuing-education and CPF-funded online training via L'École Française. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by program and brand. The group holds 47 state-certified RNCP degrees and is Qualiopi-certified across all 14 CFA, with corporate governance under the Société des Entrepreneurs de l'Éducation holding company and executive leadership from President Philippe Grassaud and Managing Director Vincent Dupuy. In May 2025, the group completed a private equity refinancing that saw Capza exit its minority stake to a consortium including BNP Paribas Développement, Carvest, IDIA Capital Investissement, Socadif, Amundi Private Equity Funds, Arkea Capital, and Crédit Agricole.
