Testimonial
“Before joining the BTS(GVNQ-equivalent) course I did a Scientific Baccalaureate. It was during the Open Doors Day that I discovered the course that I liked immediately. This course is balanced, relevant and highly educational. The trainers support everybody very well, especially during the practical exercises and work in the workshops. This creates a superb atmosphere between trainers, teachers and students, and even the management. Which encourages teamwork and learning. Working in entreprises helps open people’s minds to the realities of the professional world, and allows us to orient ourselves towards a future career. Furthermore, if the employers are satisfied, it can easily lead to a position at the end of the course, or an apprenticeship contract!”
