EFAP, officially known as the École française des attachés de presse (in English: French School for Press Officers), is a French private college specializing in mass communication. It was founded in 1961 by French philosophy professor and writer Denis Huisman.
In 2024, the school ranked third in the Eduniversal ranking of the best bachelor’s degree programs in communications in France, behind CELSA at Sorbonne University and SciencesCom at Audencia Business School. However, its master’s degree program ranked 12th among the best master’s programs in communications.
History
Originally dedicated solely to training press officers, EFAP opened up to training for all communications professions and was renamed “EFAP, l’école des métiers de la communication” in 1981.[citation needed]
The school belongs to the Écoles Denis-Huisman group (EDH, created in 1991), which includes EFAP, the École française de journalisme (EFJ) and the École des métiers de la culture et du marché de l’art (ICART).[citation needed]
In July 2014, the Franco-British investment fund Platina Equity Solutions (80% shareholder)[1] and Amin Khiari bought the group for over 15 million euros[2] from its founder, 85-year-old Denis Huisman. Denis Huisman remains chairman of the supervisory board, while Amin Khiari, former managing director of the Léonard-de-Vinci cluster (2008-2010), takes over the management of the group. He immediately extended the course from 4 to 5 years and renamed the school “EFAP, l’école des nouveaux métiers de la communication”.[3]
Teaching
EFAP trains for the communications professions.[4] The school awards a Titre of Communications Manager equivalent to a Master’s level, recognized by the French State and registered in the Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles.
The school has a total of 11 campuses located in Paris, Lyon (1970), New York (1987), Lille (1991), Bordeaux (2003), Shanghai (2016), Aix-en-Provence (2021), Strasbourg (2021), Toulouse (2021), Montpellier (2021), Rennes (2023) and Santander.
