What IFTcoaching does

IFTcoaching is a solo coaching practice operated under the legal entity IFT coaching SAS, founded in 2014 by Elisabeth LIMOUZIN-TESTORI and headquartered at 30 avenue du général de Gaulle, Thonon-les-Bains, in the Haute-Savoie region of France. The firm delivers individual coaching and assessment services across three core lines: school orientation for students (middle school through higher education), professional orientation for working adults and career changers, and the regulated Bilan de compétences (skills assessment) program. Service delivery is built on a proprietary stack of validated psychometric and methodology tools — primarily COMCOLORS (a 6-type personality model with ISQ-OPQF qualification) and the Ennéagramme (9-profile system with EPTP international certification), supplemented by Dragon Dreaming (collective intelligence project method) and the Journal Créatif (art-based self-expression). The firm is QUALIOPI-certified (certificate RNQ008) and DATADOCK-registered, enabling access to CPF (French individual training account) funding for its Bilan de compétences line.

Product overview

IFTcoaching is a coaching practice operated by Elisabeth LIMOUZIN-TESTORI offering career and educational orientation coaching, skills assessments, and related training. The core offering centers on individual coaching sessions — covering school orientation (for students), professional orientation (for adults), and a certified Bilan de Compétences program. These services are powered by specialized assessment methodologies: COMCOLORS (a psychometrically validated 6-type personality model with ISQ-OPQF qualification) and the Ennéagramme (a 9-profile system, with Elisabeth certified through the internationally recognized EPTP program). Additional modalities include Dragon Dreaming (collective intelligence project method) and the Journal Créatif (art-based self-expression tool). IFTcoaching also offers structured packaged programs for young people ('Se découvrir' at 288 euros, 'Je deviens qui je suis' at 488 euros, 'Je sais qui je serai' at 588 euros) and retired/semi-retired individuals. A key addition is the published book 'LES SECRETS d'une ORIENTATION CHOISIE et réussie' (2024), a self-coaching guide with digital resources (videos, podcasts via QR codes) for orientation. The company also co-founded the online platform coachs-personnels.com (launched October 2020) to deliver self-knowledge and coaching content digitally. Training for professionals to become Comcolors-based orientation coaches is also offered as a separate program.
