What Ready For Takeoff does

Ready For Takeoff (legal name Ready for Take Off) is a privately-held French digital learning services company registered under number 119 221 449 92. It has operated for 20+ years in HR development, corporate training, and large-scale digital training project management, and obtained QUALIOPI certification from AFNOR in December 2021, which makes its interventions eligible for OPCO funding. Its offering combines custom training design with a 60+ course off-the-shelf catalog spanning management, communication, sales, digital compliance, quality of work life, pedagogy, and finance topics.

The company's core technology is a mobile-first, LMS-compatible training delivery layer featuring gamification mechanics (points, badges, battles, varied evaluations including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, association games, and self-diagnosis) and micro-learning design with a minimum one-hour format. Content is composed of varied media including videos, podcasts, infographics, operational exercises, and knowledge quizzes, accessible on smartphone (iOS/Android), computer, and tablet. Complementary offerings include pedagogical video production (motion design in three tiers plus on-site filming, with multilingual voice-over and subtitles), awareness campaigns on harassment, psychosocial risks, gender-based violence, and safe driving, and digitalization support covering diagnostic, strategy, instructional designer upskilling, LMS selection, and tool training (Beekast, Kumullus).

The revenue model blends professional services with a recurring per-license component. Custom training design and digitalization support are sold as fixed-price projects under multi-year contracts, with training animation day rates starting at €1,400 excl. VAT. The off-the-shelf catalog is priced per learner with volume discounts tied to the number of courses and employees trained, also on multi-year terms. Pedagogical video production is licensed on a project basis with three motion design tiers. Go-to-market is sales-led and channel-driven: direct enterprise sales via website demo/consultation forms, email, and phone, combined with a positioning as the pedagogical partner to major mobile learning platforms, with integrations to Beekast, Kumullus, and Airtable. Customers are described as 30+ enterprise clients across diverse French industries, primarily HR and training departments digitalizing their learning offerings.
