EAFC Uccle

What EAFC Uccle does

EAFC Uccle (École d'Enseignement pour Adultes et de Formation Continue) is a public adult education institution located on a 2-hectare campus in Uccle, Brussels, Belgium. It is one of 152-160 establishments in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles public adult education network and operates under the authority of Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles Enseignement, the French-speaking community's public education authority. The institution delivers a four-tier portfolio: language courses in seven languages (English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Chinese, Arabic, Italian), lower and upper secondary education, higher education comprising 13 bachelor's and 1 master's program in economic, computer science, and technical fields, and continuing/vocational training. Teaching is organized modularly into capitalizable units of instruction (UE) that accumulate toward officially recognized diplomas, with day and evening scheduling to accommodate working adults.

The institution runs on standard public-sector educational technology: Moodle as the learning management system, Microsoft Teams for collaboration, Enora for scheduling, and La Digitale for presentation tools, with a half-time technopedagogue funded by the European Social Fund supporting digital adoption. On-site facilities include a Makerspace equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, and a teaching restaurant ("Les 2 Jean"). The business model is publicly funded: students pay modest registration fees (€44-€410 depending on level and course load) plus a non-refundable €80 complementary fee (DIC), with broad exemptions for job seekers, CPAS recipients, and persons with disabilities. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with students registering online or in-person, attending the Brussels campus, and accessing hybrid (in-person + remote) teaching units. Beyond instruction, EAFC Uccle runs an embedded support ecosystem — coaching, inclusion accommodations, IT support, alumni network — and operates the École Solid'R social grocery (an affiliated ASBL) addressing student precarity. The customer base comprises adult learners, working professionals, international students (including Erasmus+ mobility participants), and disadvantaged populations routed through public employment and welfare services.
