Designed in a modular format, the evening classes allow participants to study at their own pace and earn the certificates and diplomas they are aiming for.
Each exam taken as part of an evening class validates the learner’s progress and leads to a certificate of achievement. Completing several certificates within a full training pathway results in the award of a diploma.
To obtain a Diploma of Professional Studies in Continuing Education (Diplôme d’études professionnelles en formation continue – DEPFC), the candidate must have completed the diplomas that form part of that DEPFC.
A course includes an average of 25 hours, spread across roughly ten sessions of about two and a half hours each.
Passing a course leads to the award of a certificate.
The certificate is signed by the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth and by the Chamber of Employees.
A full pathway includes on average five to six courses. These pathways are designed by teams of experienced practitioners and teachers. Passing a pathway leads to the award of a diploma.
The diploma is signed by the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth and by the Chamber of Employees.
Completing two (2) or three (3) pathways gives access to a Diploma of Professional Studies in Continuing Education (Diplôme d’études professionnelles en formation continue – DEPFC), provided that the completed diplomas belong to that DEPFC.
This diploma is signed by the Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth, the Ministry of Labour and the Chamber of Employees.
