KURSUS FORMATION

What KURSUS FORMATION does

KURSUS FORMATION is a French private training organization founded in 2004, operating exclusively in the hygiene and cleaning ("propreté") sector. Headquartered in Cesson-Sévigné, Bretagne, it serves a regional customer base across Bretagne and Normandie with a staff of approximately 10 employees. The company delivers professional certification programs (TFP Agent Machiniste en Propreté, TFP AERP, TFP Chef d'Équipe, CQP Laveur de Vitres) alongside modular training series covering safety, behavioral skills, professional techniques, home services, and time optimization. It also provides customized consulting for cleaning companies and public procurement, plus placement/recruitment services connecting trainees with employers.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: fee-based training services (quotable per program), placement/recruitment services, and bespoke consulting. Training is financed through French public mechanisms including CPF, OPCO AKTO, Pôle Emploi (POEC), apprenticeship contracts, professionalization contracts, and employer plans. Distribution combines INTER (in-center sessions at the Cesson-Sévigné site), INTRA (on-site at client facilities), and limited distance/virtual delivery. GTM is sales-led, anchored on partnerships with Pôle Emploi, OPCO AKTO, GEIQ Propreté, and a network of social insertion structures (AIPR, PRÉLUDE, ASFAD, ESPACE EMPLOI) that refer candidates.

Quality and regulatory standing underpin the offering: QUALIOPI certification, OPQF label (since April 2019), Datadock registration (since October 2017), and RGPD/GDPR compliance. 2024 performance data shows 360 trainees, 33 TFP/CQP graduates, and an 87.18% certification success rate. The company is privately held, with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding rounds.
