Documents to provide

For short courses: identity document and employer certificate (for public officials). For certification programmes: identity document, CV, diplomas (or proof of experience), cover letter, employer certificate or letter of recommendation, identity photograph.

For scholarships, additional documents are requested: forecast budget, proof of income.

Documents are accepted as PDF, JPEG or PNG, legible and complete. Documents in a language other than French, English or Spanish are accompanied by a simple translation. An official translation is required only for foreign diplomas if equivalence is contested.

Scans must be clear: an illegible page is considered missing.

Documents are checked by an Academy officer. Diplomas may be verified with the institutions. Any false declaration leads to rejection of the file or exclusion, and may be reported to the authorities.

Data is processed in accordance with the privacy policy and deleted after five years for unsuccessful files.

If you have no diploma but have professional experience, you can assert it with a certificate of service and references. If you have no valid identity document, contact reception: a solution will be considered. Refugees benefit from special provisions.

Candidates with disabilities may submit their documents in another format.

Prepare your documents in advance. Name files clearly (surname_firstname_diploma.pdf). Proofread your CV. Request your employer certificate several weeks before the deadline. Keep a copy of everything.

If in doubt, attach an extra document: better too much than too little.

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.
