At Refonte Learning, transparency is not just a policy; it is a core value that underpins every interaction we have with our students, partners, and the wider community. We understand that in the digital age, verifying the legitimacy of an educational provider is a crucial first step for any prospective student. This article serves as the definitive, authoritative guide to our corporate structure, legal standing, and operational presence, providing you with the facts and the tools to verify them independently. This commitment to clarity is central to the mission you'll find detailed on the Refonte Learning homepage.
Refonte Learning is operated by Refonte Infini Infiniment Grand, a legally incorporated French SAS (Société par actions simplifiée). This robust European legal structure is complemented by our dedicated operational office in the United Kingdom. This guide will walk you through our official registration, our physical UK presence, and the comprehensive consumer protection laws that safeguard your educational investment.
Our Official Corporate Identity: A French SAS
The legal entity that owns and operates the Refonte Learning brand is Refonte Infini Infiniment Grand. This entity is incorporated in France as a Société par actions simplifiée, or SAS. An SAS is a highly flexible and widely used corporate structure in France, favoured by startups and established companies alike for its modern governance framework. It is analogous to a private limited company in other jurisdictions.
Our official registration is filed with the French government and is a matter of public record. The key identifier for our company in the French commercial registry is:
- Legal Name: Refonte Infini Infiniment Grand
- Corporate Form: SAS (Société par actions simplifiée)
- Official Registration Number (SIREN): SIREN 949 841 605
- Registering Authority: The French National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI)
This registration is not just a formality; it is a legal charter that binds us to French and European Union commercial laws, ensuring accountability and transparent governance. This solid legal foundation underpins everything we do, from developing our advanced Software Engineering program to supporting our corporate clients. You can view and verify our legal status directly from official French government sources:
- The INPI National Business Directory: This is the primary, authoritative source for corporate registration in France. You can view our filing directly on our French corporate registration on INPI.
- The French Government's Open Data Portal: For additional verification, the French government aggregates this data on its public-facing enterprise directory. You can find us via our public entry on annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr.
This verifiable, public registration forms the bedrock of our legitimacy. It demonstrates that we are a real, accountable business subject to the rigorous legal and financial oversight of a major G7 country. This official status is also central to our company's story and mission to provide accessible, high-quality tech education.
Our UK Presence: The Dover Operational Office
While our legal registration is in France, we maintain a strong, physical operational presence in the United Kingdom to best serve our students and partners in the UK market. Our UK office is located at:
Refonte Learning
1 Poulton Close, Dover, Kent, United Kingdom, CT17 0HL
It is important to understand the distinction between a legal seat and an operational office. The legal seat (or registered office) is the official address of the French SAS, used for all formal legal and administrative correspondence with French authorities. The operational office at 1 Poulton Close is a physical location where our team members work, collaborate, and manage our UK-facing operations. It is a tangible base that demonstrates our commitment to the UK educational landscape.
This is not a virtual office or a mailbox service. It is a real workplace that centralizes our UK activities. This strategic presence allows us to stay closely connected to the needs of UK students and employers. If you ever need to correspond with us, you can find our details on our contact page.

Comprehensive Consumer Protection for All Students
Our dual-jurisdiction structure provides our students with layers of robust consumer protection. We are fully committed to upholding the highest standards of service and fairness, whether you are studying from the UK, France, or anywhere else in the world. This protection is a cornerstone of all our study and internship programs.
Protection Under UK Law
For our students based in the United Kingdom, your transactions with us are protected under UK consumer law. Most notably, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies. This legislation ensures that services must be carried out with reasonable care and skill and provided as described. This means our course materials, mentorship, and career support must meet the standards we advertise. You can learn more about your rights by reviewing the UK Consumer Rights Act guidance from the government.
Governance by French and EU Law
As a French SAS, we are primarily governed by the French Commercial Code and the French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation). This is a comprehensive legal framework that governs contracts, service quality, and dispute resolution. It ensures that our business practices are fair, transparent, and legally sound. These obligations are reflected in our terms of service.
Dual Data Protection Under GDPR and UK-GDPR
Protecting your personal data is a top priority. Because we are a French company serving UK residents, we are legally bound to comply with both the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK's version of it (UK-GDPR). This dual compliance ensures your data is handled according to the highest global standards for privacy and security. Our practices are subject to oversight by two independent data protection authorities: the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) in the UK and the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés) in France. Our commitments are clearly laid out in our comprehensive privacy policy.
Strong Corporate Governance and Transparency
The French SAS corporate structure mandates a high level of corporate governance. The directors of Refonte Infini Infiniment Grand have legal duties and responsibilities under French law to act in the best interests of the company, its employees, and its customers. This includes maintaining proper financial records and adhering to all applicable laws and regulations.
Furthermore, we have an obligation to keep our corporate information with the INPI registry up-to-date, ensuring a permanent and public record of our company's status and leadership. This framework of accountability is what gives us the confidence to build and offer demanding, career-changing programs like our Data Science Program and our Scrum Master Program, knowing they are built on a stable and responsible foundation.
In summary, Refonte Learning is a legitimate, transparent, and accountable educational provider. Our legal foundation as a French SAS (Refonte Infini Infiniment Grand, SIREN 949 841 605) is a matter of public record, verifiable through official government channels. This is complemented by a real, physical operational office in the UK at 1 Poulton Close in Dover, demonstrating our commitment to the UK market.
