IFSI Avicenne – Jean Verdier is a nursing training institute (Institut de Formation en Soins Infirmiers) located on the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord campus in Bobigny, Seine-Saint-Denis. It is one of 32 institutes and schools that comprise the Centre de la Formation et du Développement des Compétences (CFDC), the unified training arm of Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), which is the largest university hospital center in Europe.

CFDC operates a hybrid delivery model combining physical campuses across Ile-de-France with digital learning infrastructure, including the Yikiforma pedagogical platform, the Formaphp continuing education portal, serious games, simulation manikins, and virtual reality. All certifying programs are registered in the French RNCP, and CFDC maintains dual ISO 9001:2015 and Qualiopi certifications. The IADE school is the only one in France certified by the International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists.

Revenue mechanics combine publicly funded initial training (primarily via Conseil Régional d'Ile-de-France), AP-HP-internal continuing education (1,102 sessions and 35,904 training days in 2024 across four centers: CFC-MPPPH, CFTAO, CFC-TLM, CFC-TSE), and external fee-based training at €175-€350 per day for non-AP-HP personnel. Distribution runs through the Parcoursup national admission platform, AP-HP's concours.aphp.fr centralized selection platform, Erasmus+ international mobility programs (active since 2015 with Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Belgium), and direct institutional enrollment. Clinical placements leverage ~90 partner establishments across Ile-de-France.
