FSI Régions sells ISIFA to EduServices
FSI Régions has sold French vocational training and apprenticeships provider ISIFA to EduServices, a private post-secondary education provider backed by Duke Street.
Duke Street created EduServices through the acquisitions and mergers of post-secondary education providers CDF, Forteam and IPAC. The latest deal is therefore in line with the acquisitive growth strategy of the company.
Previous funding
FSI Régions led the management buy-in of ISIFA in 2005.
Company
Founded in 1987 and based in Issy-les-Moulineaux, ISIFA provides private vocational training and apprenticeships to more than 1,200 students in France.
People
Claude Sauvageot and Delphine Jarnier led the deal for FSI Régions. Philippe Grassaud and Vincent Depuy worked on the transaction for EduServices.
