CAPZA acquires a majority stake in Objectif CRPE, a leader in online preparation for the competitive entrance exam for primary school teachers. CAPZA’s investment is made through its small-cap fund CAPZA Transition, thus performing its 15th transaction.

Objectif CRPE offers a high-quality online preparation for the primary school teachers’ competitive entrance exam (CRPE stands for “Concours de Recrutement de Professeurs des Ecoles”) by combining a complete and adaptable online platform, expertise in interactive pedagogy, and an 80% success rate in the CRPE, which is much higher than the national average of 35%.

Objectif CRPE’s training is based on online courses that are live-streamed and then available on replay, allowing learners to communicate with the teacher. The company also provides access to refresher videos in all subjects and original supplementary exercises. During their training, students practice and participate in mock exams that are graded individually on video by CRPE graders and in mock oral tests conducted by video on their platform with skilled exam trainers.

 
Subsidiary of the Cartesia Education group and founded in 2017, Objectif CRPE is experiencing strong growth. It now holds a leading position in a niche market and has 400 specialist teachers and examiners. In 2023, it diversified into providing continuing education for newly graduated teachers with the launch of the “Passion for Pedagogy” offer and now records a turnover exceeding 7 million euros.

Objectif CRPE, as part of the newly created Myria Education group, aims to continue its development by positioning itself as the leading provider of online training for Education Nationale staff, as well as other civil service bodies, from the very start of their vocation and throughout their career. Educational excellence, quality of support and innovation remain at the heart of this strategic plan, which CAPZA supports.

 
Through this operation, CAPZA is acquiring a majority stake alongside its managing director, Eugénie Hériard-Dubreuil. Cartesia Education, the founding group, will retain a minority stake and will continue to support Objectif CRPE in its development.
 

“We were impressed by the company’s educational expertise and the flexibility of its online platform, dedicated to the success of candidates in competitive exams. We are delighted to support Eugénie Hériard-Dubreuil, a talented Edtech entrepreneur, in this MBO and in her development projects.” – Jérôme Girszyn, Managing Partner, CAPZA Transition SAS.

“I am delighted by CAPZA’s arrival as the new majority shareholder. Their support will be essential to continue our growth and diversification, and to achieve our main objective: enabling every candidate to excel in exams and to prepare optimally for their future professional responsibilities, serving their personal success as well as the success of their students.” – Eugénie Hériard-Dubreuil, CEO of the group Objectif CRPE
