Student review [#90477] for Fine Arts and Design
at IFA Paris – International Fashion Academy

I enrolled at IFA Paris under the belief that I would be pursuing a Master’s degree, as their website clearly stated that they offered Bachelor’s and Master’s programs. After securing €10,000 from a student loan institution and transferring this amount to IFA Paris, I was informed by the director that, at that time, IFA Paris was not officially recognized by the state.

They only obtained recognition for an RNCP certificate about three months later. However, this RNCP certification is merely a vocational training or continuing education certificate—it is not an academic higher education degree.

I consider this a clear case of deception, and I have taken legal action with my lawyer. In my view, this is outright fraud. Although they have since made their website slightly more transparent, I still have screenshots of the original pages as evidence.

I strongly advise against enrolling at this institution. This is a fraudulent practice, and prospective students should be extremely cautious.
