Renewing a school’s IT fleet is expensive, and budgets don’t always keep pace with how fast equipment wears out. Refurbished equipment lets you equip a computer lab, a mobile classroom or a staff room for a fraction of the price of new, without sacrificing reliability. This is a solution GET Conseil deploys directly for schools in Lille, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Villeneuve-d’Ascq and across Hauts-de-France.
Why refurbished equipment makes sense for a school
A computer in a classroom doesn’t need to be new to be reliable: above all, it needs to be available, tested and guaranteed. Refurbished equipment ticks these boxes at a price well below new, letting a school equip more workstations with the same budget — or put the rest of the budget towards other priorities (network, security, internet connectivity).
It’s also a choice that fits naturally into an educational approach: extending the life of a piece of equipment rather than manufacturing a new one reduces e-waste and the associated carbon footprint, a concrete argument for schools committed to an eco-responsible policy.
What the GET Conseil offer covers
- Refurbished desktops and laptops (HP, Dell…), tested before delivery and ready to use for a computer lab or a mobile classroom.
- Servers and network equipment (Cisco, Aruba, Alcatel) for schools that need to renew their infrastructure without starting from scratch.
- 12-month warranty on all equipment sold, with a grade stated for every item.
- Installation and integration into the school’s existing network, so the equipment is operational as soon as it’s deployed.
- Collection and secure data wiping of the old fleet, a particular point of care for a school handling pupil data.
Support that goes beyond simply selling equipment
Equipping a school with refurbished equipment isn’t just about delivering boxes. GET Conseil also works on auditing the existing network, securing internet access and verifying backup reliability — the same method applied as part of the IT transition support currently underway for a school in the region: an infrastructure review, a transformation plan, then gradual execution towards a secure digital foundation.

Frequently asked questions
Is refurbished equipment reliable enough for a school?
Yes, every unit is tested before delivery and guaranteed for 12 months — reliability isn’t sacrificed compared with new equipment, only the price changes.
What happens to the school’s old equipment when it’s replaced?
GET Conseil can collect the old fleet and carry out secure data wiping before it is refurbished for resale or recycled. It’s also a good opportunity to check the security of the rest of your IT fleet: an old, poorly wiped machine is an entry point like any other.
Do you operate across all of Hauts-de-France, or only in Lille?
GET Conseil equips schools across the whole region: the Lille metropolitan area, the Dunkirk, Douai and Valenciennes areas, Artois, the Opal Coast, Hainaut, as well as the Somme, Oise and Aisne départements, with on-site installation or collection at our Roubaix office.
