Win Sport School

What Win Sport School does

Win Sport School is a French private higher-education institution founded in 2018 and headquartered at 38 Rue Anatole France, Levallois-Perret, operating as a brand within the Groupe Eduservices network (legal entity: EDUSERVICES S.A.S.). The school is 100% dedicated to sports business education, training students for careers in management, marketing, sponsorship, event management, and commercial development across the sports industry. It delivers seven programs at Bac+2, Bac+3 (Bachelor), and Bac+5 (MBA) levels, available in both initial and alternance (work-study) formats, with all titles state-recognized via RNCP Level 6 and Level 7 certifications and Qualiopi accreditation.

The institution runs 24 campuses across France (Albertville, Angers, Annecy, Bordeaux, Caen, Chambéry, Laval, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Melun, Montpellier, Nancy, Nantes, Nice, Paris, Reims, Rennes, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Tours, Vannes) and internationally in Geneva and Madrid. Its core operating asset is a network of approximately 2,000 enterprise partners — including Decathlon, Nike, Adidas, PSG, FC Nantes, LOU Rugby, ASVEL-LDLC, BeIN Sports, Betclic, Go Sport, Intersport, and Salomon — that recruit WIN students into alternance roles. This employer pipeline is reinforced by 30 international exchange destinations and dual-degree pathways, and is marketed as the foundation of a 91% post-MBA professional integration rate (2025 placement survey) and a 4.9/5 Google rating.

The business model is tuition-based with revenue primarily from educational fees across the two-to-five-year program arc; precise pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via brochure download or direct inquiry. For alternance students, tuition is effectively funded by partner companies through apprenticeship and professionalization contracts, which alters the cash-flow mechanics while maintaining student volume. GTM motion is direct-to-consumer across a hybrid channel mix of physical open houses (JPOs), digital application funnels, social media, and sports-event partnerships, with the school positioning itself as the connective tissue between French higher education and the country's sports-industry labor market — a market employing roughly 360,000 people with a stated target of 500,000 jobs by 2026.
