Afflelou and ISO Expand Masterclass to 13 Campuses for 2026 Academic Year

Groupe Afflelou and Institut Supérieur d’Optique (ISO) have officially expanded the Masterclass Afflelou program from its initial Paris launch in 2024 to all 13 ISO campuses, including ISO Digital. The national rollout began with a September 30, 2026, event at Afflelou’s La Défense headquarters, welcoming approximately 120 new students into the BTS Opticien-Lunetier curriculum. The work-study model features six training days annually, held at headquarters for Paris-region students and on-campus for others, focusing on practical store cases. Company-reported results for the first cohort show an 85% BTS pass rate compared to the 59% national average, with 50% of graduates joining the Afflelou network.
