Testimonial

“All the police procedural series that I had ever watched, as well as my 3^rd-year work experience at Actalia, made me want to work in Science. It was during the Open Doors Day at the Mamirolle ENIL that I discovered the LCQ course you study at Poligny. The chemistry and microbiology courses allow you to learn the ins and outs of the laboratory environment, which suited me completely. During my Professional Baccalaureate (GVNQ) training course I increased my know-how and my knowledge of my chosen field. At the school itself, the activities are very varied and the atmosphere in the boarding school part is great! The ENIL is one big family!”
