What Ideallis does

Idéallis is a privately held French vocational training and coaching organization headquartered in Valence, with operational training centers in Lyon, Toulon, and Paris. The company delivers certified professional development programs anchored by two RNCP-registered certifications — Coach Professionnel RNCP Niveau 6 (328 hours) and Formateur Professionnel d'Adultes RNCP Niveau 5 — alongside a broader portfolio including Praticien narratif, Consultant en orientation scolaire, Consultant en bilan de compétences, Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE), and Communication Non Violente training. All programs are unified by the proprietary Coaching Orienté Solution® methodology developed by Philippe Bigot, and incorporate established typological and narrative frameworks (MBTI, Process Communication Model, Tree of Life) delivered in partnership with internationally recognized practitioners such as Ncazelo Ncube Mlilo. Distance-learning delivery is supported through the 360 Learning platform, extending reach beyond physical classrooms.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B motion: individuals purchase certifications and competency assessments directly or via CPF public funding (MonCompteFormation.gouv.fr), while companies procure team coaching, leadership development, and organizational transformation services. Program pricing spans €2,000 (VAE, 15h) to €6,890 (Coach Professionnel enterprise rate), with tiered FPA pricing from €2,000-€5,500 depending on configuration. Revenue streams include course fees from individuals, enterprise training contracts, and OPCO-subsidized training programs. Qualiopi certification provides regulatory credibility and CPF funding eligibility, while GDPR-compliant operations address data protection requirements. Customer satisfaction metrics disclosed for 2025 include a 95.7% global satisfaction index across 316 respondents, a 100% satisfaction rate for Coach Professionnel, and a 92% satisfaction / 90% certification success rate for FPA.

The company was founded in 2010 (with predecessor entity Convergence RH tracing approximately 30 years of continuity) and was reconsolidated in 2025 under the groupe Idéallis identity, unifying Idéallis Formation and Idéallis École de coaching. Leadership rests with legal representative Dubrulle Sébastien, who also serves as Data Protection Officer. The firm is a SASU with €50,000 share capital, founder-financed with no external institutional investors, venture capital, or private equity involvement evidenced. Geographic scope is domestic France across three regions (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Île-de-France), with no international footprint claimed. The 2025 corporate actions — new Toulon premises, group restructuring, distance-learning launch, Qualiopi renewal, and rebranding — collectively indicate an operational repositioning rather than a scale expansion.
