Communication in motion!
When philosopher and writer Denis Huisman founded EFAP in Paris in 1961, he pioneered the emergence of a major discipline: communication.
Initially focused on press and public relations, EFAP has gradually opened up to all aspects of communications, training professionals capable of promoting a brand, an institution or a product in all environments (communication agencies, advertising agencies, major groups, SMEs, the media, local authorities, etc.).
Over the years, EFAP has included courses in:
- marketing
- advertising
- events
- management
- audiovisual production
- digital communication
By adapting them to all business sectors: luxury goods, audiovisual, industry, information technology, culture, services, human resources, sustainable development, etc.
At the same time, the EFAP School of Communication has expanded by setting up new campuses in France and abroad, pursuing an ambitious international strategy.
Today, with its 14 campuses, 100 international partners and 22 Specialized MBAs, EFAP is a school for communications in motion.
