Marmignon Brothers — a training company from Berlaimont, and not only for English
Founded in 2017 and led by Corentin and Clotaire Marmignon, Marmignon Brothers has spent more than nine years teaching English to students, companies and individuals through a method built on cinema. What began as the project of two brothers is now an accredited training organisation, recognised for its approach and for its partnerships with major players in professional and academic education. In 2023 the company won the Europe 1 Trophées de l’Avenir in the Education category — national recognition of its contribution to teaching and digital innovation.
A method born from cinema, in Los Angeles and Hollywood
It started with a simple observation: learning English has to be alive, motivating and within reach. During a placement in Los Angeles, Clotaire and Corentin Marmignon refined a tailored training project built on audiovisual immersion. Cult films and series from the Hollywood industry serve as the material. Each sequence in its original version becomes an interactive teaching tool, and learners work on contextualised content rather than abstract exercises. The work drew on experience gained in studios and creative environments, tightening the link between teaching and film culture. That approach produced e-dutainment, the first learning platform of its kind.
An accredited training organisation based in northern France
Based in Berlaimont, in the Hauts-de-France region, Marmignon Brothers has been a registered professional training organisation since 2020, holding the Qualiopi certification — the French national quality standard, which requires a full external audit of our processes every three years. Programmes are personalised for companies, employees, apprentices and students, with specific modules for teaching teams and educational institutions. For an international buyer the practical meaning is simple: trainer selection, programme design and evaluation are audited by a third party rather than self-declared.
