Testimonial
«Before I arrived at the ENILBIO, I did a GNVQ foundation course and Transformation Bioservices Professional Bachelor of Science Degree in Strasburg. I chose the ENILBIO because it was the logical continuation of my Professional Bachelor’s and I wanted to continue in the food industry sector. I appreciated the practical work in the BTSA STA. For the diploma I liked the tutored project linked to Common Restauration Service (our work really helped the SCR!).
The real–life professional situations (sanitary crisis, communication…) were extremely interesting. The course support documents were well built, so we didn’t have too much to note down, the essential facts were already there. The apprenticeship has the big advantage of providing access to the professional world. If I had to sum it up in in two words? Fundamentally: quality! ”
