Engineering programme Become an engineer by apprenticeship

Apprenticeship is a path of excellence, 100% operational that allows you to :

• Gain significant professional experience You alternate between periods of training at school and periods of work experience in a company, giving you the chance to put into practice the theoretical knowledge you have acquired.
• Benefit from remuneration : As an apprentice, you receive a salary while you follow your training, which enables you to finance your studies.

• A 3-year course, alternating between school and company.
• A 360° view of a company's organisation
• Specifications with precise objectives set for each period undertaken
• Assignments with a high level of responsibility in various departments: methods, finance, price studies, technical design office or research laboratory, human resources.
• The acquisition of technical skills will be assessed at each period by means of a written report and oral presentation.
• Local support from the integrated CFA and teaching teams.
• Comprehensive professional experience, valued from the moment you graduate.
• Paid training recognised by the CTI.
• Rapid and lasting integration into positions of responsibility within major construction and public works companies, medium-sized companies or groups and SMEs.
• And above all: BUILDERS know-how and professionalism, forged in the field.

• A solid, professionally-oriented curriculum between 1,600 and 1,800 hours of supervised training, The course is divided into lectures, tutorials, collaborative projects and case studies directly inspired by real-life situations in the construction and public works sector. This approach guarantees the acquisition of technical, managerial and operational skills.

• Assessments rooted in professional practice Skills assessment: skills are assessed through practical deliverables (technical reports, projects, oral presentations), technical skills tests and certification in English with the TOEIC, which attests to a B2 level required to obtain the diploma.

• A vital international dimension a compulsory international mobility of at least 13 weeks (work placement, academic semester or project abroad) enables students to develop their cultural awareness, language skills and ability to work in an international professional environment.

Supervised by a dedicated school tutor for personalised support and a company apprentice master for on-the-job supervision, apprentices benefit from personalised support throughout their career.

The BUILDERS integrated apprentice training centre team provides a permanent link between the school, the company and the apprentice, to ensure that assignments are consistent, anticipate needs and support every success.

• Finance your studies in full while working as an employee Apprenticeship: your training costs are paid by the host company and/or the skills operators (Opco). You pay no tuition fees in advance and receive a monthly salary at the same time, allowing you to concentrate fully on your training.

• Controlled and guaranteed pay Apprentice pay: apprentice pay is set by the regulations and depends on a number of criteria (age, level of diploma being prepared for and sector of activity). It represents a percentage of the minimum wage (SMIC) or the agreed minimum wage, with possible changes each year of the contract. This means you benefit from a stable income while gaining recognised professional experience.

RNCP level 7 diploma (Bac+5) - State-recognised engineering qualification (RNCP36055).

Cost of €11,000 covered by the OPCOs (€0 for the apprentice). The remaining cost to the company corresponds to the difference between the cost of the training and the level of funding provided by the OPCO of the branch to which the host company belongs.
