UNETP

What UNETP does

UNETP (Union Nationale de l'Enseignement Privé, also referred to as Union Nationale de l'Enseignement Technique Privé) is a French non-profit association founded in 1934 and governed by the loi du 1er juillet 1901, headquartered at 292 rue Saint Jacques in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. It functions as a professional association and the sole national union dedicated to private technical education establishments, representing more than 1,000 structures across metropolitan France and the DOM-TOM (Guadeloupe, Guyane, La Réunion, Martinique, Mayotte, Nouvelle-Calédonie, Polynésie Française) that collectively educate over 200,000 learners. Its membership is approximately 90% confessional (predominantly Catholic) and 10% non-confessional, spanning professional and technological lycées, colleges, grandes écoles, CFA apprenticeship centers, continuing education centers and production schools. The organization is led by President Christophe Poirault with a Bureau composed of elected establishment heads from Poitiers, Paris, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Armentières, Nantes, Saint-Gaudens and Lisieux, supported by 2 permanent staff and an academic delegate in every French academy.

The association's product surface is built around four core assets: a Dendreo-powered training catalog (Catalogue des formations) delivering Qualiopi-certified professional development; the UNETP Lab monthly video-conference knowledge-share series; a member portal (Espace Adhérent) at base.unetp.eu; and a two-sided job board (Espace Recruteur / Espace Candidat) connecting member establishments with candidates. Training is delivered both in-person at its Paris training center (290 rue Saint Jacques) and via distance learning on Google Meet. Adjacent offerings include an annual congress (Congrès UNETP), national training days (Journées Nationales, e.g., apprenticeship optimization day at €85/person), and regulatory/legal resources on the EPNL collective agreement and statut du chef d'établissement. The CNFETP (Centre National de Formation de l'Enseignement Technique Privé), with training sites in Lille, Lyon and Nantes, is operated by UNETP as a core subsidiary for the formation of establishment heads and OGEC personnel.

UNETP generates revenue through three streams: recurring membership fees from private education establishments; unit-priced training services (€85 per person for national days, up to €230 per person for distance-learning courses, €195 for the Congress 2026 ticket); and ancillary job-board services. Funding options include members' own funds and the Akto OPCO mechanism, with UNETP explicitly not practicing subrogation. Distribution is conducted via a sales-led, membership-based GTM motion executed through regional academic delegates and the online member portal. Key strategic partners include SGEC (Secrétariat Général de l'Enseignement Catholique), FNOGEC, CNFETP, and a long tail of technology, insurance, banking and catering partners (Caisse d'Épargne, Saint-Christophe Assurances, UNIPREVOYANCE, Fides Assurances, Elior, Sodexo, Scolarest, RapidMooc, Econocom, Akto, etc.).

Direct peers

• FNOGEC (Fédération Nationale des Organismes de Gestion de l'Enseignement Catholique): National federation representing OGEC employer organizations of Catholic education establishments. Directly comparable as a non-profit membership body representing private education employers with joint communications on EPNL collective agreement and taxe d'apprentissage.
• SGEC (Secrétariat Général de l'Enseignement Catholique): National coordinating body for Catholic education in France, including work on the statut du chef d'établissement and joint initiatives with UNETP. Operates in the same private-Catholic education ecosystem with overlapping representation of member institutions and policy advocacy.
• UNSA-Éducation: National federation representing education personnel across public and private sectors in France. Provides professional development, advocacy, and member services comparable to UNETP's offerings, though with a broader scope and union orientation.
• SPELC (Syndicat Professionnel de l'Enseignement Libre Catholique): Professional union representing teachers and staff in private Catholic education. Comparable as an ecosystem player in the French private Catholic education sector, with similar member representation, training coordination, and advocacy functions even though focused on employees rather than establishments.
• ANDEP (Association Nationale des Personnels de Direction de l'Éducation Nationale): National association of school heads for the public-sector education system in France. The public-sector counterpart to UNETP, offering professional development, advocacy, and networking services to school directors in a parallel but broader membership model.

Others

• OIEC (Organisation Internationale de l'Enseignement Catholique): International Catholic education organization coordinating Catholic school networks globally. Thematically and structurally related to UNETP, as both serve as umbrella bodies for Catholic schools, but at international rather than national scale.
