International Education Group

What International Education Group does

International Education Group (IEG, legal entity Inted Group) is a privately held French education group headquartered at 15 rue du Louvre, 75001 Paris, founded in 2008 and operating 51-100 employees. It runs a network of 13 wholly-owned schools across 7 countries — France (Paris, Champs-sur-Marne, Montpellier), Malta, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Morocco, the United Kingdom, and the Republic of the Congo — delivering vocational and higher education from BTS (Bac+2) through Master (Bac+5), with programs in IT, business management, international commerce, hospitality, medical/paramedical, and BIM construction. The group is structured around specialized subsidiary brands including ADG (hospitality, early childhood, personal services), ICG Education / Studinfo (IT), Medasup (medical and biotech), INTUNS (online IT/business), INT (international students), ESPIC (commerce, marketing, accounting, HR), and BTECH (BIM construction).

IEG's core technology stack consists of three proprietary platforms: INTUNS, a 100% online learning management system delivering diploma and certification programs at the learner's own pace; iMATCH, a two-sided matching portal that connects apprentices with enterprise partners, with a curated CV library (CVthéque) and interview scheduling; and IMS (Intelligent Management System), an administrative console for students and partner companies. All schools are certified Qualiopi and offer RNCP-accredited programs, with English-language courses additionally accredited by OTHM, satisfying the regulatory prerequisites for accessing French alternance (apprenticeship) public funding.

IEG serves two interlocking customer segments. On the learner side, it recruits students seeking vocational and higher-education pathways, particularly through the French apprenticeship (alternance) model that combines on-campus theory with paid in-company practice. On the enterprise side, it recruits French and international companies to host apprentices, offering a pre-screened talent pool, recruitment support, administrative handling, and access to French apprenticeship tax incentives and subsidies. Revenue is generated through apprenticeship training fees and public funding flows tied to the French alternance system (recurring, per-apprentice), tuition for initial (non-apprenticeship) training programs including online INTUNS offerings, and enterprise partnership services delivered through iMATCH. The go-to-market is dual-channel and relationship-driven: direct enrollment at campuses (France and international) for learners, and direct B2B outreach to enterprises for apprenticeship hosting, supported by digital storefronts (intedgroup.com, ims.intedgroup.com), partner networking events (e.g., student immersion days at enterprise sites), and institutional credibility signals (Qualiopi, RNCP, OTHM) as core trust assets.

Revenue model

1. Apprenticeship Training Programs: IEG generates revenue primarily through apprenticeship training programs where students receive both theoretical education and practical work experience. The apprenticeship model is structured and state-accredited, with companies contributing to training costs through the French Ausbildung tax system. Revenue is earned through training fees paid by partner enterprises and/or public funding bodies, covering programs from BTS (Bac+2) through Master (Bac+5).
2. Initial Training Programs: IEG offers initial (non-apprenticeship) training programs across its network of schools in France and internationally. Students pay tuition for face-to-face and online programs ranging from BTS to Master level, including English-language programs accredited by OTHM.
3. Enterprise Partnership Services: IEG provides companies with access to a curated pool of pre-screened, trained apprentices through its iMATCH platform and CV library. Partner companies benefit from reduced recruitment costs, tax incentives for apprenticeship hiring, and administrative support, generating service-related revenue for IEG.

Broad incumbents

Galileo is significantly larger than IEG but competes in the same multi-school, multi-country private higher education category.
• Coursera: Global online learning platform offering degree programs and certifications from top universities. While not a direct French-market competitor, Coursera represents the global scale benchmark for online higher education and a competitive threat to IEG's INTUNS online diploma programs.
• IONIS Education Group: Major French private education group with a broad portfolio of schools spanning business, technology, design, and digital. IONIS competes with IEG in the French private higher education market and shares the multi-school multi-sector model.

Direct competitor to IEG's INTUNS online platform and a relevant benchmark for online higher education scale.
