(*) Learning and Assessment Situations (LAS)
LAS
enable the assessment of skills in situ. This assessment is carried out in accordance with all the elements that make up the reference framework and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e., a process of reflection and demonstration led by the student themselves. As a set of actions, SAE requires students to choose, mobilize, and combine resources that are relevant and consistent with the targeted objectives. The challenges of SAE are therefore multiple:
- Participating in the development of skills;
- Supporting learning and mastery of resources;
- Integrating self-assessment by the student;
- Enabling individualized learning.

(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes referred to as a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a point of connection between the academic world and the socio-economic world. In this respect, it addresses all aspects of the student's professionalization: from their training to their future as a professional.

(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
Present in each semester of the program and supported by all the teachers in the teaching team, the Personal and Professional Project is a structuring element that allows students to take charge of their education, understand and appropriate its content, objectives, and targeted skills.

From the second year onwards, students choose a course of study and acquire specific skills related to their chosen course:

  • Management, Entrepreneurship, and Business Management (GEMA): DESIGN value creation strategies and ensure the management and development of the value chain.
  •  Management Control and Performance Management (CG2P): DESIGN management control tools and IMPLEMENT levers for continuous improvement of the organization's performance.
