SUP des RH

What SUP des RH does

SUP des RH is a French private higher education institution founded in 1998 and headquartered in Paris, specialized exclusively in Human Resources training. It operates three RNCP-certified programs: the Bachelor 'Chargé des Ressources Humaines' (level 6, since 2004), the Mastère 'Manager du Développement des Ressources Humaines' (level 7), and the Executive MBA 'Responsable en Rémunération Globale et Avantages Sociaux' (level 7, RNCP n°37998), all renewed by France Compétences in 2026. Programs are delivered through three modalities — alternance (work-study apprenticeship contracts where OPCO/employer fund tuition), formation continue (continuing education, €8,750-€9,900 HT), and 100% distance learning or blended formats via a proprietary 24/7 online platform augmented with AI-assisted pedagogical tools.

The school's technology stack centers on its proprietary online learning platform (accessible 7 days/week, 24 hours/day) and the 'Serious Game Dended', a business simulation in which students act as HR consultants for a fictional company to validate competencies in near-real conditions. Pedagogy is anchored on the 'WeLearnByDoing' methodology, producing concrete deliverables (videos, reports, projects) evaluated at oral examinations. The institution employs 51-100 staff, runs two Paris campuses consolidated as of June 2026 into 54 bis rue de Dombasle (Paris 15e), and delivers the Bachelor CRH in alternance via regional partner schools across France.

Commercially, SUP des RH operates as a B2C/B2B hybrid. Learner revenue is long-tail (individual students), while employer-side value flows from a network of 600+ French partner companies hosting alternance students, generating ~1,000 annual alternance offers against candidate demand. Notable employer partners include BNP Paribas, LVMH, TotalEnergies, Sanofi, Vinci, Bouygues, Toyota, Airbus Helicopters, AG2R La Mondiale, Disney, and Opéra de Paris. The alumni network exceeds 8,500 graduates, all in HR functions; 95% find employment within 6 months and 100% secure an alternance placement. The institution is ranked 3rd Bachelor RH in France and 5th Mastère RH in Ile-de-France (Eduniversal 2026), holds Qualiopi certification, and is labeled Happy at School 2026. Leadership rests with Director of Publication Sabine de Villoutreys; the entity is privately held with no disclosed PE/VC backing or parent company.

Direct peers

• ESG RH: ESG RH (formerly IGS-RH) is France's most direct competitor - a school 100% dedicated to HR training offering similar Bachelor and Mastère level programs with alternance and continuing education formats. Targets the same student segments and competes for the same employer partnerships in the French HR education market.
• MBA ESG: MBA ESG is part of the same ESG Group that operates ESG RH, offering specialized MBA-level programs including HR tracks. It competes in the same continuing education and alternance segments and is recognized by Eduniversal in overlapping rankings.

Broad incumbents

• INSEEC Grande École: INSEEC is a major French business school offering HR specialization tracks within its Bachelor and Mastère programs.

• IESEG School of Management: IESEG offers a Master in International Business with HR specialization tracks and competes in the same Eduniversal ranking category. As a top French business school with stronger brand recognition internationally, it pulls some high-end candidates who might otherwise consider SUP des RH's Mastère programs.
