In-company training and tailor-made schemes
Are you looking for in-company training built around your teams' real needs? Excelia Business School designs tailor-made schemes, from SMEs to large corporations, to develop managerial skills within your organisation.
In-company training, what it involves
In-company training, also known as in-house training, is a scheme designed for a single organisation and delivered to its teams, whereas catalogue training brings together participants from several companies. Excelia Business School transposes into this the expertise of a Grande École of management: the same academic rigour, applied this time to the reality of a single entity.
This approach applies to all sectors of activity, from SMEs to large corporations: the size of the organisation does not determine whether a tailor-made scheme can be built, it only shapes its format. A company that fears a generic programme, designed for an audience it doesn't recognise, finds the opposite here: a starting point that is its own business reality, and not a pre-established catalogue. It is the Executive Education Centre catalogue that remains the entry point to existing training, the kind on which an employee enrols individually.
How a tailor-made scheme is built
The build begins with a diagnosis of the need, carried out with the company, before the training is co-built with its teams.
The first stage is understanding: your organisational reality, your strategic objectives, the skills genuinely at stake. Because this diagnosis shapes everything that follows, the simplest approach is often to talk about it directly: our adviser can review your needs with you and how to address them.
Next comes the co-construction itself, carried out with your management and your human resources department: this is the stage at which Excelia Business School aligns the programme with your business culture. Finally, the teaching draws on your company's real situations: case studies and interactive exercises enable immediate practical application.
This closeness to the professional world, inherent to any tailor-made corporate training, is also found in our links with companies, from internships to work-study.
The areas covered and the guest lecturers
Tailor-made schemes cover several major areas of management, delivered by a network of guest lecturers selected for their experience of the sector concerned.
The Executive Education Centre builds its in-company training on a range that crosses a sector of activity with cross-cutting managerial skills:
- hospitality and luxury
- the fundamentals of management
- intercultural and international matters
- societal issues and CSR
- the customer relationship
- artificial intelligence and data
The level of responsibility also shapes the format of the scheme: training for managers, aimed at operational teams, uses neither the same cases nor the same pace as training for executives designed for a management committee. In both cases, this corporate management training remains built on the reality of your organisation.
Because these guest lecturers already know your sector of activity, your teams find themselves facing someone who understands their challenges from the outset, and the discussions focus directly on your professional situations. For a higher-level scheme, built around a qualification, the Executive Master Grande École follows a different logic: that of an individual, qualification-awarding pathway. These tailor-made schemes are in addition to the whole of Excelia Business School's range: the full range of our training gives a complete picture, from the Master in Management (Programme Grande École) to the doctorate.
Frequently asked questions about in-company training
- What is in-company training?
In-company training is a professional training scheme designed for a single organisation and delivered to its teams, unlike catalogue training open to participants from several companies. Excelia Business School builds it from a needs diagnosis specific to each company.
- What is the difference between in-company training and catalogue training?
Catalogue training is an existing programme, on which an employee enrols individually alongside participants from different companies. In-company training is designed for a single organisation and adapted to its business culture: the Executive Education Centre catalogue follows the first logic, tailor-made schemes the second.
- How is a tailor-made scheme built?
The approach follows three stages: understanding the company's organisational reality and strategic objectives, co-constructing the programme with its management and human resources department, then teaching built on the company's real situations, with case studies and interactive exercises.
- Who delivers tailor-made training?
Training is delivered by a network of guest lecturers selected for their experience of the sector concerned by the company, which brings field expertise to complement Excelia Business School's academic expertise, whether it is training for managers or training for executives.
- Is tailor-made training also open to SMEs?
Yes: tailor-made schemes are designed for all sectors of activity, from SMEs to large corporations, and the size of the organisation never prevents a suitable programme from being built.
