IFG Executive Education

What IFG Executive Education does

IFG Executive Education is a French private continuing education organization that delivers executive education programs to working managers, corporate teams, and public sector leaders. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Courbevoie (Paris La Défense), the company is a subsidiary of the Omnes Education group and operates through two legal entities: IFG – Institut Français de Gestion SAS in France and IFG AFRIQUE SASU in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire (established 2021). It employs 51-100 people and serves participants from 20+ countries, with an alumni network spanning over 30 countries.

The product portfolio spans RNCP Level 7 degree programs (MBA and Executive MBA in Management, Finance, HR, Marketing, and RSE/Sustainability delivered in partnership with Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, IAE Paris-Sorbonne, and Université de Haute-Alsace), short professional programs (380€-4,100€ HT), executive seminars, and customized intra-company training. Delivery occurs via an e-learning platform supporting 100% online, blended, and in-person formats, with Livestorm for synchronous webinars. Financings channels include CPF, OPCO, and FNE-Formation public mechanisms, plus direct individual and corporate enrollment.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees for degree programs (€7,900-€18,000 HT) and short courses, alongside bespoke corporate training contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct website enrollment for individual candidates, dedicated B2B sales advisors for corporate clients, and OPCO collective action partnerships. Qualiopi certification from AFNOR and multiple RNCP Level 7 program registrations are central to monetizing French public training funds. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed; the organization operates as a stable subsidiary within the Omnes Education portfolio.
