The Grande Ecole Program is open to continuing education. This national diploma is recognized by the French government, accredited by the CTI (Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur) and registered with the French National Directory of Professional Competencies (RNCP) France Compétences. It confers a Master's degree, equivalent to five years of higher education or level 7.
Target audience
The continuing education program for engineers is open to anyone with a two- or three-year college degree and three years of professional experience in the relevant engineering field, whether currently employed or seeking employment.
Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by program administrators.
Training duration
It ranges from 1,200 to 1,800 hours over two to three years, as trainees can benefit from provisions for the validation of prior learning, allowing them to follow a tailored program.
Training schedule
The program is based on existing courses for students or apprentices.
The degree falls under the same RNCP (French National Register of Professional Certifications) classification and therefore has the same skill set description as the existing program.
A B2 level English language certification from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required to obtain the engineering degree, but, subject to exemption, a B1 level may be accepted.
