Presentation

The creation of this program responds to a growing need expressed by legal professionals (lawyers, notaries, bailiffs, solicitors, etc.) as well as business leaders (corporate litigation departments, etc.) and the public and semi-public sectors (court clerks, social services, social insurance, etc.).
The program facilitates entry into the job market by training "operational" assistants at the end of the course, while leaving the door wide open for further professional training (validation of prior learning).
Designed and organized in close partnership with the professional world, it offers students the opportunity to acquire the foundations of a professional activity and leads them to autonomy in the implementation of this activity.
