AFGES unites more than seventy-five instructors who are all recognized experts with a passion for professional training.  We provide training at our clients’ premises, by videoconference or in our own training rooms equipped with the latest interactive technologies, just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

They trust us to provide training of excellence from a rich catalogue of more than 155 courses to develop their teams’ expertise.

In order to provide the recognition our participants deserve and partnership with the CNAM and the University Paris Dauphine, AFGES has set up courses of study leading accredited certifications.

 

The AFGES has been certified since 24/02/2020.

  • Article 6 of Law n°2018-771 of 5 September 2018 on the freedom to choose one’s professional future provides for an obligation to certify, by a third party organization, organizations carrying out actions contributing to the development of skills on the basis of a single national reference system, if they wish to benefit from public or mutualized funds. In other words, from 1 January 2022, the DataDock will disappear and training bodies will have to be certified by a certifying body on the basis of a National Quality Reference System.
