Training
Grande Remise & VTC Chauffeur
Master the profession of luxury private chauffeur: refined driving, UHNW protocol and absolute discretion.
The IFGR Luxury Private Chauffeur training prepares you to serve the most demanding clientele in the world. Beyond driving, you learn the art of hospitality: diplomatic protocol, etiquette, anticipating needs and flawless discretion. Our programme combines technical mastery of prestige vehicles, knowledge of passenger transport regulations and the codes of French luxury. Designed for ambitious candidates and career-changers alike, it opens the doors to a sector where excellence is measured in detail. IFGR does not hold Qualiopi certification (certification under consideration, not initiated). IFGR does not prepare candidates for the examination giving access to the VTC driver profession and does not provide the mandatory continuing training for drivers, which is reserved for centres approved by the prefect (Article R. 3120-9 of the French Transport Code). To work as a VTC driver, the professional card remains mandatory: the IFGR diploma does not replace it.
