CIEP is an acronym that may refer to several organizations or programs, depending on context. The most widely recognized historical use is Centro International d'Études Pédagogiques in France, known in French as Centre international d'études pédagogiques. This was a French public establishment associated with the Ministry of National Education, with responsibility for international cooperation in education, language assessment, and educator training. For many years, it managed and coordinated various French language certifications and exchange initiatives used by learners and teachers worldwide.

As part of a broader reform of France’s international education services, the CIEP was merged into France Éducation internationale (FEI), and the CIEP name ceased to operate as an independent entity. FEI continues the international education activities formerly handled by the CIEP, including language assessment and educator exchanges, under the umbrella of the French Ministry of National Education.

Beyond the French context, CIEP can refer to other organizations or programs in different countries. Because acronym usage varies, the exact meaning of CIEP is often unclear without additional context such as the full name, field, or geographic region. When encountering the term, it is advisable to seek clarifying information about the specific organization or program being referenced.
