Training in Paris

Paris hosts the three certification programmes — Market Analyst Certificate, Due Diligence and Provenance Certificate, Expert-Curator Diploma —, the training of magistrates, modules in art law and arbitration, and tailor-made training for institutions.

Teaching is given in French, English and Spanish.

The campus benefits from proximity to the arbitral tribunal: trainees attend simulated hearings in a real courtroom. It has access to the Organisation's archives and a materials analysis laboratory.

Visits to museums, restoration workshops and auction rooms complete the teaching.

A partner residence offers 120 rooms at a preferential rate. A restaurant and a workspace open Monday to Friday. The campus is served by public transport and accessible to people with reduced mobility.

A welcome team helps foreign trainees with visa, housing and insurance formalities.

Trainees can enjoy Paris's cultural life: exhibitions, lectures, opening evenings. The Academy organises a monthly meeting with a heritage or market professional.

It also offers language workshops for non-French-speaking trainees.

Trainees receive a welcome guide with map, contacts and tips. A contact person is appointed for each intake. The rooms are equipped with videoconferencing to host remote speakers and trainees.

Individual visits are possible by appointment.

The Academy's reception service answers practical questions Monday to Friday, in French, English and Spanish, and can direct each visitor to the programme, scholarship or free resource that fits their situation. A guidance counsellor also offers a thirty-minute individual meeting, by appointment, to build a realistic training pathway.

Trainees' feedback is valuable: each session gives rise to a questionnaire, and the most useful suggestions are examined each quarter by the teaching committee. Do not hesitate to write to report a difficulty, propose a subject or tell us what the training has changed in your practice.
