What ESCT - Ecole Supérieure de Conduite de Travaux does

ESCT (Ecole Supérieure de Conduite de Travaux) is a private French professional education institution founded in 2005 and headquartered in Montreuil, specializing in training for BTP (construction and public works) work management roles. It operates 12 campuses across France (Paris-Montreuil, Paris-La Défense, Lille, Dunkerque, Marseille, Rennes, Bordeaux-Mérignac, Strasbourg-Illkirch, Lyon, Nantes, Toulouse) plus a partner campus at Eduka Bayonne, supported by 400 trainers and serving approximately 3,000 active learners with a 5,000-strong alumni base.

The institution delivers a portfolio of state-recognized RNCP-certified programs at Bac+2 to Bac+5 levels covering Conducteur de Travaux (Bâtiment & Génie Civil, VRD), Chargé d'Affaires BTP, and Manager de Projets BTP, delivered through alternating (apprenticeship) format, e-learning (BatiLearn platform), and continuous education.

ESCT is part of the Eureka Education Group, a diversified French private education platform spanning BTP, health, beauty, tourism, IT, and design schools.

Revenue is generated through apprenticeship-funded tuition (alternance, primarily financed via OPCO/taxe d'apprentissage), e-learning subscriptions on BatiLearn, professional short courses (BIM, Lean, AutoCAD, sustainable development), VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience), and organizational audit & consulting for BTP firms. ESCT works with roughly 800 partner companies — including Bouygues Construction, NGE, Eiffage, Vinci/Eurovia, Colas, Fayat, SPIE Batignolles, and TotalEnergies — providing apprenticeship placements and graduate employment pipelines, and reports a 100% professional insertion rate on its Conducteur de travaux BAC+2 program in 2024.
