Testimonial
«Before the ENIL I did a Science and Laboratory Technologies Baccalaureate, specializing in Biotechnology, in Dijon, at the Castel. I chose this school because the course was a logical continuation of my Baccalaureate studies.
At the beginning, you always wonder what you’ve got yourself into, but when you come out the other side you really can’t understand why you didn’t come here earlier.
The ENIL is a unique school that everybody remembers the rest of their lives. You are never all on your own, and the knowledge communicated is really high quality. »
