Presentation
The training is conceived and organized within the framework of a close partnership with the notary profession, at the local level with the Regional Council of Notaries of the Court of Appeal of Montpellier and the Institut des Métiers du Notariat of Montpellier, and at the national level with the Conseil Supérieur du Notariat and the Centre National de l'Enseignement Professionnel du Notariat.
The professional nature of the degree implies theoretical teaching but also practical experience, provided by notaries. The establishment of an internship and a tutored project also implies close collaboration between the university and the institutions representing the notary profession.
More generally, this partnership allows professionals to express their needs and expectations, but also to offer a practical vision of the content of the training courses.
Furthermore, more specifically at the local level, the aim of the cooperation is to identify local needs according to the employment area.
