CFPS - CHU CLERMONT-FERRAND

What CFPS - CHU CLERMONT-FERRAND does

CFPS (Centre de Formation des Professionnels de Santé) is the official professional training center of CHU de Clermont-Ferrand, a public university hospital in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Founded in 1999 and operating from a training facility on the CHU campus adjacent to the IFSI nursing school, CFPS delivers continuing education and credential-bearing training programs to healthcare professionals across the sanitary, social, medico-social, and liberal sectors. The catalog comprises approximately 180 courses organized across six thematic areas: professional practices (Pratiques professionnelles), emergency care (Centre d'Enseignement des Soins d'Urgence / CESU 63), psychosocial risks and quality of work life, quality/hygiene/security, management and hospital administration, and competitive exam preparation/job adaptation (Concours et Adaptation à l'emploi). The center also operates CESU 63, an accredited emergency-care teaching unit authorized to deliver AFGSU certifications — the French national standard for emergency care competence.

CFPS delivers training through three formats: traditional in-person sessions (Présentiel), blended learning, and fully self-paced e-learning via the Pacip-Santé digital platform (pacip-sante.fr), which provides trainees with access to video capsules (films and tutoriels), course resources, and modular micro-credentials such as the New Arrival Pathway license. Course fees are differentiated between Inter (individual enrollment, €120–€3,180 per person) and Intra (institutional/group enrollment, e.g., €1,350 per day per group) pricing structures. Notable programs include the FAE Soins Critiques adaptation-to-employment training (€954 for a 6-day program, aligned with decree 2022-694), IADE nurse anesthetist entrance exam preparation (€1,987 for 12.5 days), and IFCS health management cadre entrance exam preparation (€3,180 for 20 days). The organization holds Qualiopi certification, the French quality standard for training organizations.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-institution: healthcare workers and institutions register via the CFPS website, telephone, or email, with no third-party distributors. In 2024, CFPS trained approximately 6,300 trainees, deployed 360 field-expert trainers, and reported a 95% overall satisfaction rate. CFPS is wholly owned by CHU de Clermont-Ferrand and operates as a non-profit training organization within the French public hospital system, serving the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
