What ecloson does

Ecloson is a French vocational training organization (organisme de formation professionnelle) operating as ECLOSON SAS, headquartered in Versailles with 10+ physical agency locations across France and a tally of 1-10 employees. The company delivers professional training programs across three main verticals: BTP (construction and building trades, operated under the ECLOSON BTP sub-brand), Couture (garment making and alterations), and Tertiary (business administration, commercial management, accounting, HR, IT development, and real estate). Programs range from short courses (7-14 hours) to extended diplome programs (CAP to Bac+3 levels, up to 1,056 hours) including BTS diplomas, professional titles (Titres Professionnels), and certifications. The company also offers Bilan de Compétences (skills assessment) and VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience) accompaniment services.

The technology backbone is the Nellapp e-learning platform, founded by co-founder Mickael Micucci, which enables distance learning accessible 24/7 across computer, smartphone, and tablet. Training delivery spans three modalities: in-person at agency sites, e-learning/distance learning, and videoconference. Ecloson holds Qualiopi certification (mandatory for French training organizations since 2022), Data-Dock certification, and TOSA certification center status, enabling access to public and private vocational training funding mechanisms.

Ecloson generates revenue through professional training fees billed per trainee under professional convention contracts, with financing sourced from CPF (individual training accounts), OPCO (joint vocational training bodies), France Travail/regional funding, and alternance company contracts (apprenticeship and professionalization). The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct inquiry (phone, online contact form, Doctolib scheduling) with content marketing and SEO. The company serves three primary customer segments: job seekers (financed through France Travail and CPF), salaried employees (upskilling and career change), and enterprises (recruiting apprentices and training existing staff). The company was founded by brothers Mickael Micucci (President) and William Micucci (Director General).
