What PERF FORM GROUPE by Formapi does

PERF FORM GROUPE by Formapi (legal entity: SASU PERF FORM, SIREN 921930830) is a French vocational training center specializing in apprenticeship (alternance) programs, operating as a territorial branch of the parent group Formapi alongside sister entity Selforme. Founded in 2024 and headquartered at 14 Rue la Fayette in Besançon, the company delivers state-recognized qualifications ranging from CAP (Titre Professionnel level 3) to BAC+3 (RNCP level 5), with a portfolio of 14 diplomas across two universes: Business/Tertiaire (HR assistant, secretarial, commercial advisor, SME/PMI manager) and Sports (sports assistant, sports promotion and marketing assistant, multi-skilled sports employee). Programs are structured as 1-year apprenticeships combining 400-450 hours of in-center training with 32-35 weeks of practical work placement in partner companies or sports clubs.

The company operates 7 training sites across the Franche-Comté and Alsace regions — Besançon, Pontarlier, Vesoul, Montbéliard, Belfort, Colmar, and Mulhouse — and supports a network of 10+ sports club partnerships (FCSM, ASM Belfort, Stadium Racing Colmar, ASPTT Besançon, etc.) that serve as both placement venues and recruitment channels. The technology stack is minimal: a WordPress-based website, LinkedIn presence, and FOAD (distance learning) delivery; no proprietary software, API, or AI components are disclosed.

The business model is fundamentally B2B2C: apprentices are recruited (primarily young people and career changers) and placed with sponsoring employers (SMEs, sports clubs, associations), with training costs funded through the French apprenticeship system via employer sponsorship and public funding mechanisms (OPCO, taxe d'apprentissage). The GTM motion is event-driven and community-led, combining open days, regional career fairs (Salon des Recruteurs at Micropolis Besançon), and direct outreach through sports club channels. The company is privately held under Formapi parent control with no external investment disclosed; Jeremy Guyen serves as Director of Publication and Legal Representative.

Direct peers

• ISCOD: Specialist alternating (alternance) training provider focused on business, marketing, and management programs from BAC to BAC+5. Closely comparable to PERF FORM's Tertiaire universe in target market and apprenticeship-only delivery model.
• MBway: Network of business schools offering alternance-based programs (BAC+2 to BAC+5) in management, marketing, and commerce. Directly comparable to PERF FORM's Tertiaire offerings in terms of student profile, employer sponsorship model, and geographic footprint strategy.
• Formapi: Parent organization and direct peer offering the same alternating training model in the Franche-Comté region under the CFA du Sport BFC framework. Same management, same program catalog, and same apprenticeship funding structure.
• Selforme: Sister territorial branch under the same parent umbrella as PERF FORM, offering parallel apprenticeship programs. Directly comparable in delivery model, RNCP-certified curriculum, and target apprentice segments.

Broad incumbents

• AFPA: France's largest public vocational training organization, offering alternance and continuous training across dozens of territories. A broad incumbent whose portfolio and scale dwarf PERF FORM but overlaps directly in the vocational certification space.
• INSEEC: Large private higher education group offering alternance-based programs in business, marketing, and management from BAC+2 to BAC+5. Competes for the same apprentice candidates in eastern France, though with substantially broader program coverage.
• AFTRAL: Leading French vocational training organization specializing in transport, logistics, and supply chain alternance programs. Comparable as a sector-specialist CFA operating through regional sites and apprenticeship funding, though in a different vertical.
• Cegos: International leader in professional and corporate training. While focused on continuing education for working professionals rather than apprentices, it serves overlapping employer clients in France for management, HR, and soft-skills development.
• CCI Formation: Chamber of Commerce training network delivering alternance and continuing education programs nationwide. Competes for the same SMB employer clients and apprentice candidates, but with much greater geographic reach and brand authority.

Others

• Campus des Métiers et des Qualifications: French public-sector network of campus structures coordinating apprenticeship pathways between training providers and employers. Adjacent enabler rather than competitor, but instrumental in the same apprentice placement ecosystem PERF FORM operates in.
