What AFCOR_ Association de Formation Continue en Oncologie Radiothérapie does

AFCOR (Association de Formation Continue en Oncologie Radiothérapie) is a French non-profit association (Association 1901, SIRET 49421670800029) founded in 1998 to deliver continuing education specifically to radiation oncology professionals in France. It was co-founded by the two principal bodies representing French radiation oncologists — SFRO (Société Française de Radiothérapie Oncologie) and SNRO (Syndicat National des Radiothérapeutes Oncologues) — and operates as the de facto continuing education vehicle for the community. AFCOR offers approximately 10 training programs per year, of which 4 are habilitated by ANDPC (Agence Nationale du Développement Professionnel Continu); participant satisfaction reached 20/20 in 2025. Programs cover stereotactic radiotherapy for new indications, surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT), patient radioprotection, management of task delegation, and disease-focused clinical updates, addressing four primary personas: radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiotherapy technicians (MERM).

The portfolio spans three delivery formats with no single proprietary platform: live Zoom sessions for evening practical cases (e.g., Cas Pratiques L'Endomètre 2026 at €50), full-day and multi-day in-person workshops at venues including Paris, Avignon, and B\u00e9houst (€300–€900 per seat), and blended e-learning-plus-videoconference for the mandatory National Patient Radioprotection program (€400, 7-year attestation validity). The peak offering is the annual three-day residential Printemps AFCOR conference (€1,450 per seat). Technical infrastructure is a Joomla/YooTheme website with a public catalog and blog, Zoom for live remote delivery, and e-learning modules hosted with INSTN-CEA. AFCOR is officially DPC organism N°1435 and Qualiopi-certified by Cofrac; a renewed Qualiopi certificate and DIRECCTE activity declaration (11 75 44595 75) underwrite compliance. Capacity per cohort ranges from 50 to 150 participants.

AFCOR generates revenue exclusively through per-seat registration fees (€50–€1,450) on a pay-as-you-go basis; as a non-profit Association 1901 it is not subject to VAT and prices are displayed TTC. Distribution and GTM are direct-to-consumer: registrations are handled by secretariat coordinator Angélique Fournigault via phone and email, with awareness driven through afcor.fr, blog posts, and an email newsletter. Cohort onboarding opens 2–8 months before session start, and roughly 50% of the catalog is renewed each year. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external funding or parent ownership is evident.
