Intervention
Capital Croissance supports the higher education group in its development projects, inclusing the opening of new campus and the broadening of its offer to the continuing education as well as other digital short-staffed digital jobs métiers.

Created in 2018, Quest Education Group is a group gathering schools that are dedicated to jobs in video games (Gaming Campus : Art, IT and management schools) and cybersecurity (Guardia Cybersecurity School).

 

The success of these schools rests on three pillars: (i) a project-based pedagogy supervised by working professionals, (ii) the cocreation of the curriculum with companies in the sector to ensure an up-to-date formation and maximize the employment rate, and (iii) the student’s well-being with courses combining face-to-face and distance learning (state-in-the-art campus being located in the very city center, a 100% proprietary e-learning platform).

Thierry Debarnot (CEO and cofounder of Quest Education Group): “The knowledge of the higher education market and the entrepreneurial DNA of Capital Croissance made the difference. This first financing transaction should bolster our specialized schools amongts the industry leaders.”
