The training allows you to study for a CAP (Professional Aptitude Certificate) as a sandwich course combining work and study.
It is a Level 3 National Diploma, recognised by the State.
Studying for the CAP generally takes 2 years.

The training is paid: between 27% and 78% of the SMIC (legal minimum wage), depending on your age.
