What Pyramyd does

PYRAMYD is a French professional training organization (organisme de formation) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Paris (18-24 Rue Tiphaine, 75015), specializing in visual communication, graphic design, and creative digital tooling. It operates as a brand within the SKOLAE Formation group, a pan-European training conglomerate that owns eight specialist training brands across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, and Portugal. PYRAMYD delivers training across nine core domains — Graphisme (PAO/Adobe Creative Cloud), Motion Design, Intelligence Artificielle for creatives, Web/Développeur Web, UX/UI, Création Responsable, 3D, Vidéo, and Photographie — through a 150+ course catalog that is regularly refreshed against software release cycles, with 20 courses eligible for France's Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF) public funding and authorized testing-center status for TOSA, ACA, ICDL, and RNCP certifications.

The company's core technology stack is anchored to Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Acrobat Pro, Lightroom, Dreamweaver) and has expanded into generative-AI tooling (Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Claude AI, Gemini, Nano banana). Classrooms are MAC- and PC-equipped with current software versions. Delivery is multi-modal: inter-company open enrollment sessions in 34 French cities, intra-company on-site training at client premises, fully bespoke ("sur mesure") programmes, certified tracks, and distance learning. Revenue is generated per participant on a fee basis, priced in euros HT (excluding VAT), with course durations ranging from 1 to 18 days and sample prices from ~640€ HT for short initiation courses to ~4,600€ HT for multi-week "Parcours Métier" career-path programmes.

The customer base spans CAC40-scale enterprises — Universal Music Group, L'Oréal, Louis Vuitton, France Télévisions, BNP Paribas, Havas Media, Groupe ADP, Gallimard, Prisma Media — alongside freelance creative professionals, marketing/communications managers, and small-business owners, serving roughly 2,000 trainees per year with a pool of 100 practitioner-expert trainers (intervenants experts). Marketing is multi-channel: catalog downloads, dedicated landing pages, LinkedIn and YouTube presence, webinars and replay content, SEO-driven course and "Fiches métiers" pages, and an Espace client Abilways portal for post-sale engagement. PYRAMYD holds the mandatory Qualiopi quality certification and is a registered MON COMPTE FORMATION partner.
