ESCC École supérieure de commerce et de communication

What ESCC École supérieure de commerce et de communication does

ESCC Business School (École supérieure de commerce et de communication) is a private French higher education institution founded in 2009 and registered as a Société under RCS Paris (SIRET 793 528 621) with a stated capital social of €10,000. The school operates from a registered headquarters in Paris (75015) and a main training campus in Vitry-sur-Seine (94400), serving Bac+2 and Bac+5 students through 10 distinct programs. Its portfolio comprises seven Bac+2 offerings — six BTS diplomas (Communication, Commerce International, Comptabilité Gestion, Management Commercial Opérationnel, NDRC, Gestion de la PME) plus a Titre Professionnel Manager d'établissement marchand (RNCP41853) — and two Bac+5 dual-degree programs: an MBA in Management & International Business with Saint Jean Douai Business School, and a MIB/MIM Master in International Business – Marketing Digital with Clermont School of Business. A French as a Foreign Language (FLE) program serves international students. The school is Qualiopi-certified.

The business model is tuition-based with two pricing tracks: initial (non-alternance) training, where students pay directly (MBA at €4,990/year, MIB/MIM at €8,500/year); and alternance (apprenticeship) tracks, where training is free for the learner and funded by the employer or apprenticeship center. All instruction is delivered 100% in-person at the Vitry-sur-Seine campus, distinguishing ESCC from digital-first competitors. The school reports a 85% professional insertion rate and a network of 60+ active partner companies (including Sanofi, Société Générale, Lidl, Bank of China, Stellantis, Xiaomi, Starbucks, and Cora) that host alternants.

Technology is a supporting layer rather than a product: ESCC uses the Digiforma student portal for academic management (regulations, grades, calendars), operates an official Discord community for peer support and opportunity sharing, and integrates AI and prompt engineering curriculum into the MIB/MIM program. GTM is direct-to-consumer via website, email, online application forms, Parcoursup for eligible programs, and open-day events. The school is small — 15 employees — with no disclosed venture or institutional funding, indicating founder-led operations.
