Price $343 (EUR 299) one-off (checked 18 Sep 2026). Rating: 4.4 of 5 from 11 reviews on Formaseo (checked 18 Sep 2026). No member or enrolment count is published (checked 18 Sep 2026). Curriculum: 6 of 13 tracked flags confirmed, 7 confirmed absent, 0 unverified.

## Verdict

By Editorial team. Opinion within the published method; every figure is from the record below.

Formation AI Search & GEO is one of the best-evidenced French programs in the directory: a course rating of 4.4 out of 5 across 11 reviews puts it at evidence tier A and high confidence, ranked 2 of 6 on the other-languages hub. Vincent Terrasi is named as instructor, the price and refund terms are published, and the seller misses only the enrolment count on our transparency checks. Reviewers praise the clarity and the beginner framing, and several say the course runs short and that some material has dated. It covers GEO, LLM citations and AI workflows, and skips AEO, structured data and crawler access.

### Who it fits

-   French speakers new to AI search
-   Marketers who want a named instructor and published refund terms
-   Agency staff needing a short GEO primer

### Who should skip it

-   English-only learners
-   Experienced SEOs wanting technical depth on structured data
-   Anyone who needs live calls or a cohort
