IFSI / IFAS Châteaudun

What IFSI / IFAS Châteaudun does

IFSI / IFAS Châteaudun is a public paramedical training institute operated under the Centre Hospitalier de Châteaudun in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. Founded in 1975 and located in Châteaudun, it delivers the state-recognized Diplôme d'État d'Infirmier (three-year IDE program via its IFSI) and the Diplôme d'État d'Aide-Soignant (via its IFAS), enrolling on the order of 200 nursing students and roughly 180 aide-soignant trainees at a time, plus a recently added apprenticeship pathway for aide-soignants. Its core product is credentialed healthcare workforce training, delivered through classroom instruction, clinical placements with regional hospital partners, and simulation-based learning in a 2,500 m² campus equipped with simulation mannequins and digital learning tools.

The institute is governed and funded as a public establishment: it sits within the Centre Hospitalier de Châteaudun, holds Quaiopi certification, and operates under the supervision of the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) and the Région Centre-Val de Loire, which together set intake quotas and provide the bulk of operating funding. A satellite campus in Nogent-le-Rotrou (since 2015) extends reach into rural Eure-et-Loir, and a partnership with the GHT HOPE hospital network supports continuing education and career-progression tracks (AS → AP → IDE). Revenue mechanics are essentially budgetary: state and regional grants, tuition within regulated frameworks, employer co-financing for apprenticeships, and continuing-education fees — there is no commercial SaaS or fee-for-service model. The institute reports near-100% graduate employment and serves primarily regional healthcare employers rather than individual consumers.
