What FCPS does

FCPS (Formations continues en psychologie et en sexologie), legally operating as 'FCPS – Pierre Orban', is a Belgian continuing education institute founded in 2018 and headquartered in Brussels (with operations referenced in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Walloon Region). It delivers specialized training in evidence-based trauma and PTSD therapies — including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Prolonged Exposure therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Imagery Rescripting — to mental health professionals in the French-speaking market, primarily clinical psychologists, sexologists, physicians, and clinical psychology master's students.

The core product portfolio consists of roughly a dozen in-person, e-learning, and blended-format courses (priced 120€–530€ individually), supplemented by two subscription bundles (Gold Traumas at 1300€, capped at six enrollments; Abonnement niveau avancé at 500€) and group enrollment discounts of 10–20% for teams of 3–6. Delivery relies on a blended learning model pairing in-person workshops with e-learning modules hosted on the third-party Learnybox platform, alongside free online conferences used as top-of-funnel lead generation. FCPS also offers bespoke on-site training for institutions, foundations, and ASBLs.

The business model is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the formationcps.com website with self-service enrollment, complemented by a partnership with UPPCF (offering 10% member discounts) and a content-led marketing strategy built around an extensive educational blog. The company operates as a private, founder-driven training practice with a single identified lead trainer (founder Pierre Orban, a clinical psychologist at CRF Impulso) and reports no external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or disclosed revenue.
