Ecole de Coaching de Paris

What Ecole de Coaching de Paris does

École de Coaching de Paris (legal entity: SARL Ecole de Coaching de Paris, SIREN 522 216 225) is a French private training company founded in 2010 by Laurent Batonnier, with Jean-Luc Lods serving as gérant and Director. The company is registered in Mâcon (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté) and delivers its flagship training program primarily in Paris across roughly 20 in-person days (201 hours) distributed over 9 to 11 months and 9 modules. Cohort sizes are intentionally capped at approximately 12 participants to preserve pedagogical quality. The curriculum covers three coaching modalities — individual, team, and organizational coaching — and incorporates experiential live practice from module three onward, peer-group work modeled after École 42's peer-learning method, and a proprietary Élément Humain® module based on Will Schutz's humanistic framework.

The business model is a one-time professional certification fee structure, supplemented by two adjacent product lines: a customizable "Formation Leadership sur Mesure" for executives and managers, and the standalone Élément Humain® module. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; enrollment requires a €1,500 deposit followed by installment payments, with the balance due before the final module. Tuition is VAT-exempt on training services. The school holds Qualiopi certification (certificate B01599), making its programs eligible for funding through at least eight OPCOs (OPCO EP, AFDAS, AKTO, Atlas, OPCO Mobilités, OPCO Uniformation, OPCO FIFPL, OPCOMMERCE) and Pôle Emploi; the previous RNCP Level 6 "Coach professionnel" title was not renewed by France Compétences on 19 April 2023 and remains pending.

Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven: free "réunions d'information" hosted by founders, individual intake interviews, downloadable brochures, and a free e-book ("Devenir Coach Professionnel en 2026") drive top-of-funnel lead capture. A community-led layer — the "Nos Coach" alumni network and peer-group continuity — sustains conversion via testimonials and coaching portraits. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or channel partners. The school has trained 200+ professional coaches across 23 documented Parisian cohorts and reports a 97% average participant satisfaction rate. Customer segments span career changers entering independent practice, internal/corporate coaches, and managers seeking coaching-based leadership skills. The company is founder-owned, has no external funding, and operates with a 9-employee headcount.
