LS Développement

What LS Développement does

LS Développement is a privately-held professional training center (centre de formation professionnelle) headquartered in Eguilles, near Aix-en-Provence in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. Founded in 2018 and led by Boureima Zorom, the company delivers vocational training to small and medium enterprises (TPE/PME) and individual professionals in the surrounding region, operating with a staff of five. Customer logos on the company website span roughly a dozen industries including real estate, construction, tattoo services, confectionery, lighting, telecom, and urban planning, indicating a broad long-tail SMB base rather than anchor accounts.

The course catalog spans more than ten professional domains: office productivity software (Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite, ArchiCAD, WordPress), foreign languages (English, Spanish, French as a Foreign Language), management, public procurement response, artificial intelligence applications, workplace safety (SST, MAC SST, HACCP, electrical habilitation), Certibiocide disinfectant certification, and industrial cleaning techniques. Courses are delivered through in-person sessions at the Eguilles training center and through remote ("classe à distance") formats. The technology stack is conventional: a WordPress-based website serves as the primary digital touchpoint, with no proprietary platform, app, or API; integration partners (Level Tel, MonCompteFormation) provide language certification and CPF course listing rather than core training infrastructure.

LS Développement generates revenue through a unit-pricing model, with day rates for INTER (open enrollment) sessions ranging from €140 to €550 HT per learner depending on course complexity and duration, and customized INTRA (in-house corporate) sessions priced on request. A meaningful share of demand is channeled through the French government's CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation) system via the MonCompteFormation platform, which requires the company to maintain its Qualiopi quality certification (currently valid 2024-2027). The company additionally operates as an authorized ICDL exam center and a Certibiocide authorized training organism, each of which constitutes a regulated credential that supports access to specific training segments.
