What Isrp does

ISRP (Institut Supérieur de Rééducation Psychomotrice) is a French private higher-education institution founded in 1967 by Giselle Soubiran and operated across three generations by the Soubiran family. It is the country's leading training provider for psychomotor therapists, claiming to have trained nearly 50% of all practitioners currently active in France. ISRP delivers the three-year Diplôme d'État de Psychomotricien (DE) — a legally protected qualification required to practice — across four campuses (Paris, Marseille, Vichy, Metz) with authorized capacity for ~440 first-year students, representing roughly 40% of national training seats (~380 of ~950 on the ISRP common entrance exam). The curriculum combines foundational theory, clinical placements across EHPADs, hospitals, CMPP, IME, and CAMSP, plus specialized year-3 majors (autism, AVC, geriatrics, psychiatry, learning disorders, handwriting, adapted sports, balneotherapy).

The business runs on three tuition-based revenue streams: standard DE tuition (€8,700–€10,500/year per campus), employer-funded apprenticeship contracts from year 2 onward (CFA Adaforss-administered), and continuing education including the MIP/TE double degree delivered jointly with Universidad de Murcia and University of Verona. Pedagogical delivery uses a proprietary digital learning platform with 400+ e-learning videos and a dedicated e-Santé module (20 hours across 3 years), while physical infrastructure includes amphitheaters, practice rooms, test libraries (Testothèque at Marseille), and a 3,000 m² main campus in Boulogne-Billancourt. Operational quality is certified via ISO 9001 (since 2020), Qualiopi, and OPQF.

Go-to-market relies almost entirely on France's national Parcoursup admissions platform and the ISRP common entrance exam (concours commun), supplemented by open house days, a multi-channel social media presence, a podcast, an Erasmus+ exchange network (first French paramedical school to hold the Erasmus charter), and partnerships with Expersanté (exam prep). The institution hosts the Organisation Internationale de Psychomotricité et de Relaxation (OIPR), founded 1979, giving it unmatched international reach across ~40 countries and reinforcing a 100% employment rate within 6 months of graduation.

2. Tuition Fees (Continuing Education / MIP-TE): State Expert in Psychomotricity (MIP/TE) double degree program generates additional revenue from continuing education participants and VAE candidates.
3. Apprenticeship Contracts: Employer-funded apprenticeship contracts cover student tuition fees, with the employer (usually a healthcare institution) paying school fees in exchange for the student's alternating work schedule.

Broad incumbents

• Galileo Global Education: International private higher education group that owns INSEEC and other French private schools. A broad incumbent in the French private higher education market; not specialized in psychomotor training but operates a similar tuition-driven, multi-campus business model at significantly larger scale.
• IONIS Education Group: French private higher education group operating ISG, EPITA, EPITECH, and other specialized schools. A broad incumbent with similar tuition-driven economics across multiple specialized programs; not a direct psychomotor competitor but a relevant comparable for private specialized higher education in France.
• AFPA: France's national agency for adult vocational training with a broad portfolio across many sectors. A broad incumbent in the French training and continuing education market; less specialized than ISRP but overlaps in vocational/continuing education offerings for healthcare and paramedical professions.

Direct peers

• Université Paris-Saclay (Institut de Psychomotricité): Paris-Saclay hosts the Institut de Psychomotricité (IDP), one of the principal public psychomotor training programs in France. It is a direct peer in the same product category (3-year State Diploma in psychomotor therapy) and competes for the same applicant pool, but operates under a public university model with subsidized or zero tuition.
• Croix-Rouge Compétence: The training division of the French Red Cross runs a national network of paramedical training institutes (nursing, physiotherapy, etc.). It competes with ISRP in the broader French paramedical training market and uses a similar multi-campus, apprenticeship-supported model, though it is not specialized in psychomotor therapy.

Others

• Aix-Marseille Université: Public university partner that hosts the ISRP Marseille campus within Hôpital Sainte-Marguerite and provides university services (library, CROUS housing) to its students. An ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor, but the closest public comparator in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
• Hôpital Sainte-Marguerite (AP-HM): University hospital campus where the ISRP Marseille campus is physically located. A clinical placement host and core partner for applied teaching and apprenticeship hosting; not a peer but a key clinical training infrastructure provider for ISRP Marseille students.
• Université Clermont-Auvergne (UCA): Public university partner that hosts the ISRP Vichy campus (opened 2018 under convention with UCA). Provides university student status and access to university restaurants, libraries, and sports facilities. An ecosystem partner, not a direct competitor, but the closest public comparator in the Auvergne region.

Regional players

• Universidad de Murcia (Máster en Psicomotricidad): Spanish university that co-delivers the MIP international master's degree with ISRP. It operates comparable psychomotor therapy training and research in Spain, does not compete in the French market, but has direct academic and curriculum overlap with ISRP through the joint program.
• Università di Verona: Italian university that co-created the MIP international master's degree with ISRP and University of Murcia. Comparable in psychomotor therapy training and research, operating as a European academic peer with direct curriculum partnership but in a different national market.
