What Ifeap does

IFEAP (Institut de Formation de l'Enseignement Agricole Privé), founded in 1983 and managed by the parent association ADEFEAP, is a Qualiopi-certified professional training organization exclusively serving the French private agricultural education sector through the CNEAP network of Catholic agricultural schools. The institute operates from its registered office in Paris (277 rue Saint-Jacques) and its main training facility in Angers, delivering training across metropolitan France and overseas territories (DOM-TOM). Its catalog spans 120+ courses covering pedagogy, management, administration, school life (CQP EVS, CQP CVS), school leadership, digital/AI integration, special needs accompaniment, and discipline-specific didactics, with recognized Level 7 certifications (Dirigeant RNCP 40900, Coordinateur opérationnel RNCP 35554) and VAE support services.

The business model is fee-for-service professional training, with three primary delivery channels: inter-établissements open-enrollment sessions, customized INTRA-entreprise on-site training, and distance/hybrid formats. Pricing is tiered and per-session, ranging from €75 for short informational sessions to €420–€588 for standard and management courses, with comprehensive VAE certification programs priced at €2,346 over multi-year engagements. INTRA-enterprise pricing is custom. Revenue also flows through OPCO funding and CPF-eligible certifications. Customer segments span teachers/trainers, school directors and management cadres, school life personnel (AVS/AEVS), administrative and technical staff, career-advancement teachers, and associative/rural sector professionals — all within the private agricultural education ecosystem.

Operations are powered by a third-party SaaS technology stack rather than proprietary infrastructure. Training administration, CRM, financial management, document generation, Qualiopi quality tracking, virtual classrooms (Dendreo Live), and API/webhook integrations run on the Dendreo platform (a French training-center SaaS leader). Asynchronous e-learning is delivered through the Moodle CNEAP LMS, with additional integrations to Dokeos, Thinkific, and 360Learning. Pedagogical tools include Canva Education, Digipad collaborative walls, and AI-themed content for generative text use cases. The technology plays a supporting role: IFEAP is fundamentally a content-and-services organization leveraging best-in-class SaaS, not a technology product company.
