What goffart formations does

Goffart Formations is a French professional training organization (organisme de formation) headquartered in Le Grand-Quevilly, near Rouen in Normandy, that delivers workplace safety and regulatory compliance training to B2B clients. The company offers 72 certifying training programs organized across 12 domains — first aid (SST), fire safety and EPI/ESI, electrical habilitation (NF C 18-510), electric vehicle habilitation (UTE C 18-550), ergonomics and PRAP musculoskeletal prevention, scaffolding (R408/R457), AIPR, ATEX and chemical risks, confined space (CATEC), CNAM driving authorizations, public-sector/ERP support, and specialized modules. Training is delivered primarily on-site at client premises across Normandy, Brittany, Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, Pays de la Loire, and additional French regions, with 70% of session time spent on practical hands-on exercises led by trainers who are active or former field professionals (firefighters, INRS-certified HSE technicians, licensed electricians, CARSAT technicians). The company holds Qualiopi certification under the Référentiel National Qualité and is officially habilitated by INRS and CARSAT, allowing clients to access public funding via CPF, OPCO, France Travail, Région Normandie, and AGEFIPH, as well as CARSAT subsidies covering 50% of scaffolding MDS purchases.

The firm is a privately held SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) registered at RCS Rouen under SIRET 887 589 570 000 19, APE code 7022Z, founded in 2020 by David Goffart who serves as Gérant. Revenue is generated through per-session unit pricing (e.g., SST Initial from €279, SST recycling from €169, electrical EV from €180–€280, ergonomics from €150, with scaffolding on a quote basis), billed on a pay-as-you-go cadence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond starting points; clients receive custom quotes within 24–48 hours of inquiry. Lead generation runs through the company website (goffartformations.fr), Google Business Profile (4.9/5 across nearly 190 reviews), and organic social on Facebook and LinkedIn, with no disclosed paid marketing infrastructure.

As of 2025 the company reports training approximately 30 collaborators in its delivery network, having served more than 500 companies since 2020 and trained 1,798 participants across 238 sessions in 2025. The client base spans diverse sectors — construction (Vinci Construction, Vinci Environnement, Habitat 76), industrial and chemical (Synthomer, Aspen, UIMM), food and agriculture (Florette, Maillot, Desormaux), pharmaceutical (Holopharm), government and public-sector (Ville de Rouen, Région Normandie, Région Hauts-de-France, Police Nationale, École de Police, SDIS), and training and education (Compagnons du Devoir, CEREF). The go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales, with trainers traveling to client sites rather than clients attending a fixed campus.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• GRETA: GRETA is the national network of public continuing-education training providers delivering Qualiopi-certified vocational and safety courses across French regions; it competes on price and CPF eligibility for the same adult-learner segment.
• AFTRAL: AFTRAL is one of France's largest professional training organizations, with extensive coverage in transport, logistics, and workplace safety certifications including SST and fire safety — directly comparable catalog breadth to Goffart's but at national scale with institutional resources.
• CCI Formation: CCI Formation (the Chamber of Commerce training arm) provides Qualiopi-certified workplace safety and continuing education across France, often bundled with chamber network reach that smaller regional providers like Goffart must match.
• AFPA: AFPA is the historic French national vocational training organization offering Qualiopi-certified programs in skilled trades and workplace safety; its broad catalog and government affiliation make it a structural competitor for the same compliance-driven buyer base.
• SOCOTEC France: SOCOTEC delivers testing, inspection, and certification services including workplace safety training (fire, electrical, ATEX) to French industrials — competing for the same enterprise buyers Goffart serves, but from a larger TIC platform.
• Bureau Veritas France: Bureau Veritas offers HSE training and certification across France, including electrical habilitation, fire safety, and construction-site safety programs — a direct catalog competitor with global TIC brand strength.
• APAVE: APAVE is a major French industrial risk management and technical inspection group that delivers certified safety, electrical habilitation, and conformity training to enterprises — overlapping directly with Goffart's electrical, scaffolding, and confined-space offerings.

Emerging players

• CESI: CESI delivers professional and technology training including workplace safety modules to French enterprises; less of a pure-play safety specialist but addresses overlapping corporate compliance training demand.

Direct peers

• Formapro: Formapro is a French Qualiopi-certified training organization focused on workplace safety, ergonomics, and regulatory compliance courses — a closer-scaled, similarly-positioned regional competitor comparable in business model and customer base.

Others

• INRS (Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité): INRS is the French national institute that defines and certifies SST, PRAP, and occupational safety training content; it is both an enabler (Goffart is INRS-habilitated) and a benchmark that defines the curriculum standards the company teaches.
