Ascor Communication has established itself as a major player in the field of distance professional training. Founded in 2007 and taken over in 2013 by Annaïck Lepetit, this family-run business has enjoyed dazzling growth in recent years. With the arrival of Olivier and Izabel Marquet in 2015, Ascor has developed a unique expertise in digital learning, offering professional retraining opportunities to thousands of learners.
A family business committed to digital training
Ascor Communication embodies the spirit of a forward-looking family business. Since its takeover in 2013, the organization has continued to innovate in the field of distance learning. The arrival of Olivier and Izabel Marquet in 2015 marked a decisive turning point, bringing a new dynamic to the company.
Ascor’s strategy is based on several pillars:
- Competitive prices to make training accessible to all
- Focus on customer satisfaction
- Constant development of new training courses
- Investment in high-performance e-learning platforms
This approach has enabled Ascor to enjoy exceptional growth. The company has gone from 20 employees in 2017 to 150 in 2021, testifying to its growing success. Today, Ascor has 25 trainers and 15 people dedicated to pedagogical development, guaranteeing the quality of its training courses.
Leading brands for customized training
Ascor Communication operates two main platforms: Espace Concours and Campus des Ecoles. These brands meet specific needs and target a variety of audiences.
Espace Concours, Ascor’s long-standing platform, mainly targets adults undergoing professional retraining. With an average learner age of 32, it offers some thirty training courses in a variety of fields:
- Early childhood
- Beauty
- Cooking
Campus des Ecoles, launched in 2019, targets a younger population. This diversification enables Ascor to reach a broad spectrum of learners, offering training opportunities at different stages of professional life.
| Platform | Target audience | Training areas |
|---|---|---|
| Competition area | Adults undergoing retraining (average age: 32) | Early childhood, beauty, cooking |
| School campuses | Younger population | Varied training |
Growing success and future prospects
Ascor Communication’s success can be measured by its impressive figures. By 2021, the organization has trained 17,000 learners, more than double the number in 2020. Since 2015, no fewer than 40,000 people have benefited from Ascor training courses.
This success can be explained by several factors:
- A diversified and constantly evolving training offering
- Training courses eligible for the CPF and some accessible within the framework of a CAP
- Suitable training duration, between 300 and 600 hours, sometimes supplemented by internships
- Qualiopi certification, a guarantee of quality
On the strength of these results, Ascor Communication has raised 5 million euros in 2022 from Bpifrance and Crédit Mutuel Arkéa. This investment is aimed at accelerating the company’s development, with ambitious objectives:
- Structure product development
- Increase the number of new training courses (currently around 15 per year)
- Develop new verticals
- Invest in a new e-learning platform
This fund-raising reflects the investors’ confidence in Ascor’s business model and in the future of digital training.
