ISEAH

What ISEAH does

ISEAH is a privately-held French professional services group operating an integrated HR, apprenticeship-training and continuing-education ecosystem anchored in the Lorraine region. Founded and led by Sandra Delauzanne, the group is structured as a SASU parent (ISEAH® Formation) with two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — ISEAH® RH for recruitment and HR consulting and ISEAH® FC for continuing professional development. Headquartered in Metz with a registered office in Le Ban-Saint-Martin, the company reports a headcount of 11-50 and qualifies as a small, founder-led regional player.

The service portfolio combines three product lines: ISEAH Alternance delivers apprenticeship and work-study vocational training (France's alternance system); ISEAH Formation Continue covers continuing education including POEI programs delivered in partnership with France Travail, VAE experience-validation pathways, and Titre Professionnel certifications; and ISEAH RH provides recruitment, candidate sourcing and HR advisory services to businesses and franchise networks. Supporting tools include an apprenticeship salary simulator (Simulateur de Rémunération Alternance). The group operates a franchise/license model (Devenir licencié) intended to extend the brand into new territories through independent operators.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through professional-services fees and public training-fund flows. Enterprise HR and training mandates are quoted on a project basis; individual learners access programs through CPF, OPCO and France Travail funding mechanisms. The business holds Qualiopi certification (covering Actions de formation, Actions de formation par apprentissage and VAE) plus Datadock reference status — both mandatory prerequisites for accessing French public training funding. No external institutional investment, M&A, or disclosed financial figures are referenced in the source material, and the company has not reported revenue, customer concentration, or AI/technology capabilities beyond standard SaaS web infrastructure.
