KENTIA-FORMATION sarl

What KENTIA-FORMATION sarl does

KENTIA-FORMATION sarl is a Madagascar-based training and professional development company headquartered in Antananarivo, structured as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée). It delivers corporate and individual professional training through multiple formats: scheduled public sessions, customized in-company programs, work-study (alternance) and joint-degree (co-diplomation) education pathways, coaching and follow-up, team building, and seminar organization. The company also offers professional consulting services and a self-paced e-learning platform hosted at elearning-k.com. Pricing is disclosed in Malagasy Ariary on a per-course basis (e.g., 350,000 Ar for a one-day interpersonal communication course up to 800,000 Ar for a three-day GPEC course), with some e-learning content offered free of charge under a freemium model.

The firm operates through a sales-led go-to-market, reaching customers via its website (training calendar, quote requests, registration forms) and direct corporate engagement. A core strategic relationship is with FMFP (Fonds Malgache de Formation Professionnelle), through which KENTIA-FORMATION prepares funding dossiers and delivers state-financed training; this channel accounts for an estimated 300 completed projects. Customer segments include medium-to-large Malagasy enterprises, entrepreneurs and startups, government and public institutions, and NGOs/associations, with disclosed logos spanning aviation, government, healthcare, marketing, and nonprofit verticals.

The business model rests on human-delivered expertise: 73 trainers and subject-matter experts, all described as holding Bacc+5 qualifications with at least 10 years of professional experience, supported by a library of themed training kits. The technology stack is a lightweight training-services platform with e-learning capabilities (video content and interactive materials) rather than a proprietary AI or data-driven product. The company has not disclosed funding, revenue, or headcount figures, and there is no indication of external investment; it appears to operate as an independently owned entity within the broader KENTIA Group network alongside related entity KENTIA Conseils.
