Metz Numeric School

What Metz Numeric School does

Metz Numeric School (MNS) is a private digital-skills training institution headquartered at 86 rue aux arènes, 57000 Metz, France, operating legally under INSTITUT FRANÇAIS DES AFFAIRES (IFA, RCS Metz 384 809 372), itself part of the multi-school Eureka Education group. Founded in 2021 and employing 78 staff, the school delivers programs from BAC to BAC+5 across four product verticals: Computer Development (Full Stack, AI Integrator, Application Developer), Systems/Networks and Cybersecurity (Technicien through Mastère Architecte), Digital Marketing (Community Manager, NUMERIC FACTORY EAN), and Digital Design (Concepteur Designer UI, Designer Numérique in alternance).

Its core technology is a multi-disciplinary vocational training platform combining classroom instruction (8 classrooms over two floors, 2 co-working spaces) with project-based learning, a web-based orientation scheduling system, an apprenticeship (alternance) curriculum integrating 1-3 weeks/month company rotations, and the NUMERIC FACTORY skills incubator linking directly to The Pool startup incubator. Certifications include Qualiopi (French national training quality mark) and France Compétences authorization to issue RNCP titles levels 4 through 7.

Revenue mixes four streams: self-funded tuition (€4,900-€7,700/year by tier), 100% employer/OPCO-funded apprenticeship contracts (€0 learner cost), Région Grand-Est and FSE+–co-financed job-seeker programs, and direct EU project funding. Distribution is regional (Grand Est / Lorraine), anchored by 150+ corporate partners that recruit interns, apprentices, and permanent hires — most recently systematized through La Fabrique à projets with Club Entreprises Rives de Moselle, the Hub Cyber Grand-Est Cyclone cybersecurity consortium, and The Pool incubator partnership.
