Program

The CEB program is open to students on apprenticeship or professionalization contracts. This involves a minimum 32-week work placement. These apprentices are supported by two tutors, one of whom is a teacher, and the other appointed by the company. The two tutors work together to lead the trainee to a diploma and a job.

On-site training lasts 500 hours.

Admission is not final until an apprenticeship (or professionalization) contract has been signed with a company in one of the sectors covered by the course (building inspection, building expertise, project management assistance).

The training program includes a tutored project, carried out at the training center, lasting a total of 150 hours, which gives rise to a written report and an oral presentation.
