What are our key strengths?

Our Institute is very well connected with our local business community, regional companies and large international corporations located nearby. In addition to hiring our students, these companies regularly offer apprenticeships, internships. They back our courses and continuously help us improve their contents and formats.
Students are free to choose whether they want to study either in traditional full-time mode with a compulsory internship or as an apprentice. If they choose to be hired as apprentices they are supervised within the company by a qualified professional who works together with a counterpart among our teachers.
The Institute also caters for mature age students and job seekers who wish to upskill or retrain. The Institute acknowledges Recognition of Prior Learning and Experience (in French “Valorisation des Acquis de l’Experience” (VAE).
