Frequently asked questions

No specific diploma is required. What matters is a genuine motivation for excellence in service, a sense of discretion and a professional bearing. Certain programmes assume a first experience in hospitality, transport or protection; we assess each profile individually.

Yes. Admission is based on an application followed by an interview, in person or by video. This exchange lets us understand your project, confirm the suitability of the chosen programme and define any tailored arrangements.

The in-person diploma is an intensive, hands-on course built around practical workshops, real-life situations and direct correction by practitioner-trainers. The online Academy (e-learning) lets you progress at your own pace, with structured lessons, assessments and a certificate. Both can be combined to suit your availability.

Duration depends on the programme and format. In-person diploma courses run as intensive sessions over several days or weeks; the online Academy is self-paced, accessible whenever it suits you. Detailed schedules are set out on each programme page, and our team confirms the next available dates.

The IFGR diploma is a private certificate awarded by the Institute, verifiable through a unique reference. It attests to the savoir-faire of grande remise acquired during the programme. It is not a State qualification or an RNCP title — that registration is a separate process, distinct and forthcoming. Its value rests on the demands of our training and the recognition of the network within which it is taught.

Every IFGR certificate carries a unique reference. An employer or partner can confirm its authenticity in seconds on our verification page, by entering that reference.

Attendance is recorded throughout. Knowledge and practice are assessed continuously and through a final evaluation. On completion, you receive an attendance certificate and, upon success, your IFGR certificate. For diplomas, awarding follows a final assessment validated by the trainer.

Yes. As part of our Qualiopi quality process, IFGR is committed to making its training accessible to people with disabilities. A dedicated disability referent assesses each situation and arranges suitable accommodations. Please tell us your needs when you apply.

Our training opens onto demanding service roles across our sectors of specialisation — chauffeured transport, private security and protection, and luxury concierge.
