Online vocational training platform for French CAP and professional certifications
YouSchool operates a live-learning platform for vocational certifications in France, spanning 20+ CAP programs (pastry, plumbing, childcare, etc.) and professional qualifications (medical secretary, HR assistant, animal care). The tech stack is traditional PHP/Symfony backend with React frontend, MySQL, and WordPress—built for reliability rather than scale. Active projects reveal a shift toward content automation (AI-driven production, SEO strategy deployment) and infrastructure modernization (microservices migration), while pain points surface dual challenges: enrollment growth (acquisition, conversion) and operational friction (nutrition staff shortage, legacy maintenance).
YouSchool provides accredited vocational training delivered through an online platform accessible 24/7 on web and mobile. Students interact with instructors and peers via integrated social learning features, supplemented by personalized coaching support. The curriculum spans skilled trades (electrician, plumber, hairdresser, florist) and administrative/healthcare roles; all programs are CPF-fundable or available via apprenticeship (CFA) pathways. The company operates from Paris with 51–200 employees and serves the French market. Core operations include course delivery, student support, and enrollment management; ongoing initiatives focus on platform enrichment, nutrition program development, and content production efficiency.
YouSchool's core stack is PHP/Symfony on the backend with React frontend, MySQL database, and RabbitMQ for messaging. WordPress supports content management. Analytics rely on Google Analytics 4, Semrush, and Yoast SEO for organic visibility.
YouSchool offers 10+ CAP programs including pastry, cuisine, baking, aesthetics, hairdressing, early childhood care, fashion/couture, floristry, ceramics, electrical work, and plumbing. Professional qualifications include medical secretary, HR assistant, accounting, interior design, and animal care.
