RenaSup France

What RenaSup France does

RenaSup France is the official body of the French Catholic Education system (Enseignement Catholique) responsible for coordinating private higher education across France. Headquartered at 277 rue Saint-Jacques in Paris, it operates as a non-profit network of 525 higher-education poles serving approximately 90,000 students from BAC+1 to BAC+5 across 11 fields of study, including management, tourism, finance, events, accounting, and design. One-third of enrolled students study in alternance (apprenticeship) mode, and the network partners with over 2,000 companies for professional placement. The organization offers more than 1,000 training programs and curates exclusive degree pathways developed with international and professional partners — notably Coventry University (UK, since 2012) for British BA and MSc degrees, Griffith College (Ireland), the Fédération des Cégeps (Quebec), ESA École Supérieure d'Assurance (insurance and banking), Institut Supérieur de l'Événement (event management), and the Ordre des Experts-Comptables (chartered accounting).

The core technology stack is modest: a WordPress-based website (renasup.org) with the WPML multilingual plugin supporting English/French content, a Formation Search Portal filtering over 1,000 programs by type, campus, and field, a Campus Network Map visualizing the 525 locations, and a dedicated Coventry University subdomain. Cookie consent is managed via Axeptio under GDPR compliance. There is no mobile application, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The coordinating central entity itself employs only 11 staff; the broader network's scale is delivered through 525 member institutions rather than a centralized operating company.

RenaSup generates revenue primarily through tuition at member institutions and recurring network membership fees from those 525 institutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by institution and program. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website and campus visits, channel-partner-driven via Catholic Education institutional relationships (APEL, CNEAP, UGSEL, UDESCA, FESIC), and event-driven via educational fairs and orientation events. The organization is a private non-profit with no venture capital, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public listing; it sits structurally beneath Enseignement Catholique as its parent body.
