Acoform

What Acoform does

Acoform is a French professional training organization (organisme de formation) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, operating as a private SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) with 11-50 employees. The company delivers publicly funded vocational training programs and employment support services across 11+ sites in Île-de-France and Pays de la Loire, with extensions into Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and Sélestat. Its core offerings include OFII-mandated linguistic training (600 hours, A2 CECRL) and civic training (24 hours) for Contrat d'Intégration Républicaine signatories, vocational certifications such as Assistant de Vie aux Familles (ADVF CCP1/CCP2 and CCP1/CCP3, 399 hours each) and Titre Professionnel Assistant de Direction (714 hours, RNCP 38667), and employment-coaching programs branded Agil'Cadres (for executive job seekers) and Trajectoire Dynamique Emploi (for RSA beneficiaries). Acoform holds Qualiopi certification (valid until September 6, 2027), is GDPR-compliant with a CNIL-registered DPO since October 2024, and operates with no proprietary technology platform beyond standard pedagogical tools and digital resources.

The business model is predominantly government-funded professional services. Acoform's revenue is generated primarily through multi-year contracts and grants with five anchor public payers: France Travail (job-seeker training and Agil'Cadres), OFII (linguistic and civic training for CIR signatories), OPCO-EP (ADVF funding), Conseil Régional d'Île-de-France (Assistant de Direction), and Conseil Départemental du Val d'Oise (Trajectoire Dynamique Emploi, with EU co-financing). Programmes are free for eligible participants (job seekers, RSA beneficiaries, CIR signatories). A secondary private revenue stream exists for inter- and intra-enterprise training, priced per quotation and net of taxes (Acoform is not VAT-subject under Article 261 al 4-4 of the French General Tax Code). Go-to-market is sales-led through institutional referral channels (France Travail counselors, OFII platforms, regional council funding) and direct enrollment via collectif (group information sessions) and candidacy dossiers. The customer base is highly government-concentrated, with no disclosed private-sector logos and no enterprise named accounts. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
