What Cloud Campus does

Cloud Campus is a French digital education institution (SAS, founded 2019, headquartered in Paris) that delivers apprenticeship-based vocational training in full-stack web development (Bac+3/4, RNCP Level 6) and information systems security (Bac+5, RNCP Level 7) entirely remotely via Discord-based telepresence. The company operates with 27 employees and serves two matched sides of the French apprenticeship market: individual learners aged 16–29 seeking paid, tuition-free training in digital careers, and French employers seeking pre-screened junior digital talent. Reported outcomes include a 92% program success rate, an 85% post-graduation employment integration rate, and 200+ students trained annually across a network of 500+ employer partners.

The core product is structured around an 80% practical / 20% theoretical pedagogy. Live instruction is delivered synchronously on Discord in per-cohort channels, with replay access within 48 hours. Asynchronous content is sourced through partnerships with SecDojo (for cybersecurity modules) and Google (for cloud-based educational resources). Curriculum covers React, Node.js, PHP/Laravel, SQL/NoSQL, Docker, CI/CD, AWS/Azure/GCP, Python, and AI integration via OpenAI APIs, organized around weekly project sprints on real business cases. A third program, Développeur Intégrateur d'IA, has been added to extend the offering into AI integration roles. Two RNCP certifications anchor the labor-market value of the credentials.

Cloud Campus operates on a fully OPCO-funded apprenticeship model: tuition is billed by the school directly to the host employer's OPCO (Operator of Competences) at capped rates of up to €14,000/year for the Full Stack program and up to €19,600/year for the Expert SI program. Students pay zero tuition and receive a monthly salary from the employer. The go-to-market is sales-led: candidates are recruited directly through the website, open days, and content marketing; employer partnerships are developed by a dedicated enterprise relations team (chargés de relations entreprises) that achieves an 81% apprenticeship placement rate. The company holds Qualiopi certification, which is mandatory for accessing public French training funds, and is GDPR/RGPD-compliant. Operating geographies are limited to France.

Revenue model

1. OPCO-Funded Apprenticeship Tuition: Cloud Campus is funded entirely through apprenticeship contracts. Tuition fees are billed directly to the employing company's OPCO (Operator of Competences), which covers the full cost of training. Students pay zero tuition and receive a monthly salary from their employer. The school invoices the OPCO and/or the employer host per the training convention.

Core offering

Cloud Campus is a fully remote French digital vocational school that delivers apprenticeship-based training programs (alternance) in full-stack web development (RNCP Level 6, Bac+3/4, 2 years) and information systems & cybersecurity (RNCP Level 7, Bac+5, 1 year), plus an AI Integrator Developer program. Programs are 100% telepresence-delivered via live Discord sessions with AI tools integrated throughout, and tuition is funded entirely through the apprentice's employer OPCO at zero cost to students.

Product overview

Cloud Campus is a digital education institution offering two vocational training programs in alternance: the Développeur Web Full Stack (Bac+3/4, 2 years) and the Expert en Système d'Information & Cybersécurité (Bac+5, 1 year). Both programs are delivered via telepresence (live remote sessions on Discord) and integrate AI tools throughout the curriculum. The two programs share the same pedagogical approach (80% practice, telepresence delivery, Qualiopi certification) but target different career paths: junior full-stack development versus senior SI/cybersecurity management.

Others

• SecDojo: SecDojo is a French cybersecurity e-learning platform used by Cloud Campus as the asynchronous learning backbone for the Expert SI program. It is an adjacent ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor, but is comparable as a French cybersecurity training provider.

Direct peers

• O'clock: O'clock is a French fully-remote coding school offering full-stack web development telepresence programs via apprenticeship contracts. Its remote-only delivery model and French alternance funding are essentially identical to Cloud Campus's operating model.
• Wild Code School: Wild Code School is a French-origin coding bootcamp network offering apprenticeship-funded web development training in France and across Europe. It directly competes with Cloud Campus on the same French tech alternance segment with employer-mediated funding.
• OpenClassrooms: OpenClassrooms is a France-based online education platform that funds its programs primarily through employer-paid apprenticeship contracts (alternance), offering RNCP-certified tech and digital tracks. It is the most directly comparable peer to Cloud Campus given the shared apprenticeship funding model, remote delivery, and target learner segment.
• Ironhack: Ironhack is a global coding bootcamp with campuses in Paris offering web development and cybersecurity tracks. Comparable on curriculum and target market, with broader geographic reach and a more established global brand.
• Simplon.co: Simplon is a French digital inclusion training organization offering free coding bootcamps and web development apprenticeships to underrepresented populations. Comparable on French digital vocational training and apprenticeship funding, though with a stronger inclusion-focused mission.
• Le Wagon: Le Wagon is a French-founded global coding bootcamp with strong French presence offering full-stack web development and data science bootcamps. Comparable on curriculum stack (full-stack, cloud) and target learner (career switchers), though its French funding mechanism overlaps less with alternance than with bootcamp tuition.

Broad incumbents

• 42 (École 42): 42 is a tuition-free French computer science school with peer-to-peer project-based pedagogy and a network of campuses globally. It competes for the same French digital training mindshare as Cloud Campus but operates at much larger scale and is fully tuition-free without OPCO funding.
• AFPA: AFPA is France's national vocational training agency offering alternance programs across many trades including digital tracks. It is a broad incumbent in French professional training that overlaps with Cloud Campus on funding mechanism (OPCO/CPF) but spans far more sectors.

Emerging players

• Holberton School: Holberton School is a project-based software engineering school with operations in France offering full-stack and AI engineering tracks. Comparable on project-based pedagogy and remote delivery, though primarily tuition-funded rather than OPCO-funded.
