Revenue model

1. Professional Coaching Certification Training: Primary revenue stream from the 'Devenir Coach Professionnel Certifié RNCP 6' training program priced at 6,200€ for 456 hours of hybrid training. Multiple payment options available including installment plans. This represents the flagship certification program.
2. Specialized Training Modules: Additional specialized coaching programs including Management/Manager Coach (32 hours), Coaching Scolaire (40 hours), and other specialized tracks that provide supplemental revenue from certified coaches seeking additional qualifications.
3. Third-Party Financing Subsidies: Revenue supported by government and employer financing programs including CPF (up to 5,000€), France Travail (100% coverage possible), OPCO, AGEFICE (up to 3,000€/year), FIFPL, and AGEFIPH. While these are financing mechanisms for students rather than direct revenue, they enable enrollment for customers who would otherwise not afford training.

Direct peers

• MHD Coaching: MHD Coaching is one of the established French RNCP-registered coaching schools, offering a multi-month professional coaching certification with similar hybrid delivery and Qualiopi certification. Directly comparable on curriculum depth, target persona (career-changers) and pricing band.
• Meyler Campbell: Meyler Campbell is a UK-based executive coach training organization with an internationally recognized accredited diploma program. Comparable on premium pricing, program depth, and a target market of experienced professionals transitioning into executive coaching.
• SKOLAe: SKOLAe is a French coaching and personal development school offering professional coach certifications and specialized modules. It overlaps with Linkup on target audience (career-changers, managers), RNCP-registered programs and a Paris-based hybrid delivery model.
• IFOD (Institut de Formation au Coaching et au Développement): IFOD is a long-standing French coaching school offering RNCP-registered professional coach certification, supervisor training, and specialized modules. Comparable on regulatory positioning (RNCP/Qualiopi), target market (career-transitioning professionals), and hybrid in-person/remote delivery.

Broad incumbents

• INSEAD Executive Education: INSEAD offers executive coaching and leadership development programs with strong international brand recognition. Comparable on the premium executive/leadership training segment and on serving globally mobile managers, though INSEAD is a broader institution rather than a specialist coaching school.
• HEC Paris Executive Education: HEC Paris Executive Education offers executive coaching certificates and leadership development programs targeting senior managers. Comparable on the manager/executive coaching training segment and on premium pricing, though HEC operates as a broader business school with a much wider portfolio.
• CTI (Co-Active Training Institute): CTI is one of the largest international coaching training organizations, offering multi-level coach certifications and a global alumni network. Comparable as a global benchmark for Linkup's program depth and alumni network ambitions, though CTI's credentials are ICF-based rather than RNCP-anchored.

Comparable as the pan-European alternative to Linkup's French RNCP track, particularly for executives seeking internationally portable credentials.

It is comparable not as a direct competitor but as the alternative regulatory framework that Linkup's RNCP-based credentials compete against, especially for internationally mobile students.

Emerging players

• Coaching Ways: Coaching Ways is an India-headquartered ICF-accredited coach training provider with global online delivery at lower price points. Comparable on the career-transition training use case and the ICF-aligned curriculum, though geographically distinct and targeting a different price tier.
