ICHEC-Entreprises

What ICHEC-Entreprises does

ICHEC Formation Continue is the continuing professional education arm of ICHEC Brussels Management School, delivering part-time structured training for working professionals and enterprises in Belgium. Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre (Brussels), the organization offers four product categories: Executive Masters (€2,800–€3,885), Certificates (€1,440–€2,100), Microprograms (€450–€950), and custom corporate training, with a flagship 18-day Risk Management Diploma priced at €4,500. Programs span nine thematic areas including Management & Strategy, Finance & Control, Marketing & Communication, AI & Data Management, HR & People Management, Sustainability & ESG, Public Sector, Entrepreneurship, and Executive Masters, with schedules built around evening and Saturday sessions to accommodate employed learners.

The curriculum combines modular certificates into Executive Master tracks via a "two-certificate" architecture (a foundational certificate plus a specialization), which allows learners to stack credentials over time while giving ICHEC cross-sell opportunities. Curriculum has been progressively expanded into emerging regulatory and technology areas — including a CSRD Compliance & Strategy course (€1,500), a Sustainability Strategy & Management Certificate (€1,900), and AI-focused offerings such as the IA Strategy Booster (€1,200) and the Digital Marketing & AI Certificate (€1,800). The organization uses its MyIFC online platform for self-serve registration and student management, supplementing direct sales for individual consultations and "formation sur mesure" enterprise contracts. AI appears in the curriculum as a taught subject rather than as a core proprietary capability.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-program tuition fees and custom enterprise contracts, with pricing VAT-inclusive (TVAC). The organization serves individual working professionals and mid-market enterprises primarily in the Brussels-Capital and Walloon regions, leveraging regional "congé éducation" (education leave) eligibility. Distribution runs through a self-serve website channel, individual advisor consultations (online and in-person), open-house events, and direct enterprise sales for custom programs. A partnership with Sales Academy adds industry-specialist content for the Sales & Account Management certificate. Net revenue and student count are not publicly disclosed; with 501–1,000 employees the operation appears materially sized, though the actual revenue mix between individual tuition and corporate contracts is not separated in the source data.
