AT FORMATION

What AT FORMATION does

AT FORMATION is a privately held French vocational training center (legal entity SAS @FORMATION) headquartered in Nîmes, founded in 2007, that delivers certified professional training in office software, accounting and payroll, foreign languages, desktop publishing, project management, sales techniques, and administrative skills. The company operates a single physical training center at 83 Rue André Lenôtre in Nîmes and a 24/7 online e-learning platform built on a WordPress/Elementor front end with a Moodle-based LMS backend. The course catalog spans nine training domains, with certification pathways including TOSA (international software certification), ICDL (International Computer Driving License recognized in 150+ countries), UPPCTSC-delivered ASCA/ASCOM/UCP titles, and French RNCP-registered professional titles (Titre Professionnel Comptable Assistant RNCP37121, Titre Professionnel Secrétaire Assistant RNCP36804). The company holds the Qualiopi quality certification from the French Ministry of Labour, which is required for CPF public funding access.

AT FORMATION serves a dual customer base: individual learners (salaried employees, job seekers, self-employed professionals, and business creators) who enroll either directly via the company website or through the government Mon Compte Formation (CPF) platform, and corporate clients of all sizes that purchase customized intra-company training programs. The company holds partnerships with 11 OPCO funding bodies (OPCO EP, OPCO MOBILITES, OPCO OCAPIAT, OPCOMMERCE, OPCO SANTE, UNIFORMATION, OPCO 2I, OPCO AFDAS, OPCO AKTO, OPCO ATLAS, CONSTRUCTYS), enabling enterprise training contracts financed across all major French industry sectors. Pricing is per course or per program, ranging from €350 per person for short group sales-techniques modules to €4,870 for the 493-hour Titre Professionnel Secrétaire Assistant program.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, institutional investors, or M&A activity are evidenced. The company is owner-operated with a four-person named leadership team covering center management, direction, administration, and technical/communications functions. Its go-to-market mixes direct-to-consumer enrollment (CPF and website), enterprise direct sales for B2B contracts, and product-led self-paced e-learning access. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram) and Google reviews (94 verified reviews rated Excellent) rather than paid acquisition. The underlying technology stack is conventional and contains no AI/ML components.
