CIBC Formation Conseil

What CIBC Formation Conseil does

CIBC Formation Conseil is a French non-profit association (Loi 1901) founded in 1992 in Besançon, providing skills assessment, career counseling, and professional training services to individuals and companies in eastern France. Its core offering is the Bilan de Compétences — a 12-to-24-hour skills assessment delivered over six to twelve weeks — complemented by Conseil en Evolution Professionnelle (CEP), Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE), and the AGEFIPH-funded Inclu' Pro program for workers with disabilities. The organization holds QUALIOPI and OBCAQT certifications, holds the Service Qualité Totale label since 2015, and is a founding member of the FNCIBC federation since 1999, which collectively authorize billing to the CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation) public funding system.

The company operates from four physical locations — Besançon (headquarters), Pontarlier, Grand Charmont, and Belfort (the latter two opened in 2024) — and runs an in-person service model using licensed psychometric instruments such as PerformanSe and Parcouréo. For corporate clients, it delivers modular training programs covering management, HR practices, recruitment, performance evaluation, psychosocial risk prevention, and strategic workforce planning (GPEC), customized to client premises or to CIBC offices. The corporate training division complements the individual-focused assessment business with higher-ticket enterprise engagements.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed to individuals, corporate clients, and the French public funding ecosystem (CPF, France Travail/AIF, AGEFIPH). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the first information appointment is free as a customer-acquisition mechanism. In 2023, CIBC Formation Conseil served 2,348 beneficiaries and delivered 10,103 training hours with a 97% satisfaction rate, more than doubling both volume and headcount productivity from 2022 levels. The organization has eight employees and operates with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds, consistent with its non-profit association status.
