When it was integrated into the Ophiliam fund in 2018, Nova Formation set itself a goal: to become a leading player in the rapidly expanding training market.<\/p>\n<p>A first external growth operation was carried out in 2021 with Royer Robin Associ\u00e9s, expanding the offer towards training related to the fields of management-consulting, HR and quality.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2002 by St\u00e9phane Molinaro, an Edtech serial entrepreneur, LearnPerfect specializes in European language training, particularly English, and is a benchmark for training in computer and digital applications. Even before the health crisis, LearnPerfect had developed distance and blended learning programs that give it an undeniable lead. The numbers speak for themselves: over 40,000 learners trained, 500 virtual classroom training modules, and over 360 clients.<br \/>\nWith the contribution of LearnPerfect, whose management team will remain in place, the new entity will have an expanded training catalog, particularly in the area of languages, as well as extensive expertise and shared resources in the area of digital learning, which will complement the 10 physical locations in mainland France, and a balanced distribution between B2B and B2C while maintaining the highest standards of quality &#8211; all major assets to meet the new demands in training post Covid, which allows it to quickly target a turnover close to 10 M\u20ac.<\/p>\n<p>The successful process led by Largilli\u00e8re Finance was based on its good knowledge of the training sector and its challenges.\u00a0Shamir Razavhoussen, Associate Director at Largilli\u00e8re Finance is delighted: &#8220;The training sector is still very fragmented, but, under the effect of regulatory changes, particularly in terms of certification, as well as digitalization, it should quickly consolidate around solid players offering a panel of recognized quality training. With the acquisition of LearnPerfect, we have completed our third transaction in less than a year in this sector.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>List of participants<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
