What G7academy does

G7 Academy (legal name: École Supérieure du Taxi) is a French professional taxi driver training school and subsidiary of Groupe Rousselet, the conglomerate that owns the G7 taxi fleet brand — the largest taxi operator in France and Europe with over 9,000 affiliated drivers. Operating from a single facility at 48 rue Eugène Berthoud in Saint-Ouen (with registered office in Clichy), the school delivers the regulated CCPCT certification pathway (RS5635 on France Compétences) plus a portfolio of complementary programs including accelerated VTC-to-taxi conversion (74.5 hours), evening initial training, point recovery courses, TPMR (reduced mobility transport), professional English, and mandatory 5-year continuing education.

The business model is fee-for-service professional training with one-time course payments ranging from €150 (continuing education discount) to €2,200 (full initial day training), supplemented by exam and administrative charges (€241 CCPCT exam fee, €60 PSC first aid, €30 B26 manual, €35 medical). A e-learning variant of initial training is listed as forthcoming to complement the existing in-person offering. Public funding channels — France Travail, CPF, FAFCEA, and AGEFICE — broaden payer accessibility for individual candidates.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting individuals seeking to enter or upgrade within the Paris taxi profession. The funnel is structurally reinforced by partnerships with G7 Taxi Service (priority affiliation and guaranteed employment as location-gérant or salarié), Taxirama (vehicle/license acquisition), Fondation de Garches (TPMR specialization), and 1-to-1-Progress (language training). Graduates benefit from a unique end-to-end pathway from training to fleet affiliation. The school holds Qualiopi certification from AFNOR (since December 2021) and Préfecture de Seine-Saint-Denis agrément N°2021/1565, both mandatory credentials for operating and accessing public training funds.
