Lion is a French training school positioned as a “school for the AI era,” aimed at professionals who want to apply artificial intelligence in workplace settings. According to its website, it has trained more than 5000/6000 alumni since 2016 and has a network of 500+ experts and entrepreneurs. Its courses are not general academic AI programs, but are built around current tools, workflows, and career transitions.
Published programs include Vibe Coding, Créer son agent IA, Growth Marketing x IA, as well as events such as the Saturday Promptathon and Jungle IA Meetup. Vibe Coding focuses on learning how to design, build, and deploy web applications in 6 weeks. The AI Agent course is also 6 weeks long, emphasizing automation and integration with existing tools. Growth Marketing x IA runs for 13 weeks and 180 hours, targeting growth marketing skill upgrades. The teaching approach emphasizes “20% theory, 80% practice.” Most courses are hybrid or remote; the first and last days may be remote or held in person in Paris, while the main sessions are typically scheduled in the evening once a week, making them suitable for working professionals.
Instructors are one of Lion’s main selling points. The website lists many teachers with backgrounds in startups, AI, growth, product, data, and large enterprises, including experience related to LVMH, Qonto, Back Market, TheFork, Blablacar, and others. In terms of certification, the site states that Lion has received quality certification, and that the Growth : Activation Digitale and Piloter des projets IA courses are CPF-eligible. However, it does not clearly state whether each course comes with a completion certificate. Pricing is not disclosed and requires booking a consultation; there are also free resources, events, and selective free programs.
The main strengths are that the courses closely follow real-world generative AI implementation, with an emphasis on project-based practice, professional applications, and community networking. The evening schedule for working learners is also clearly designed. The downsides are limited pricing transparency, French as the primary language, and offline resources concentrated in Paris, which makes it less convenient for learners in China. It is better suited to French-speaking professionals who want to use AI to improve product, marketing, automation, or startup-related capabilities, as well as companies looking to drive AI transformation within their teams.
The available materials do not provide information about access from China, payment methods, or cross-border learning support, so its accessibility from China can only be classified as unknown. For Chinese users who prioritize Chinese-language instruction, convenient payment, and local case studies, alternatives include English-language courses on Coursera, Udemy, edX, and DataCamp, or Chinese platforms such as 极客时间, 得到, 网易云课堂, as well as domestic generative AI corporate training programs.
