Testimonial
“I plan to set up a cheese dairy in the Ardèche region, and in order to make a success of this, I was surprised that I could only find the ENIL to help me!
I did my work experience time at the Vivarais cheese dairy.
The most interesting thing about the training are the technological workshop weeks: you can really see your professional future!
As for life in the school, the trust between the teachers the personnel and the students is very high, which is very important when you live in a boarding school.”
