Becoming an apprentice

Why choose an apprenticeship?

Apprenticeship programs allow you to gain training and work experience by alternating between periods at the IUT and periods at a company.

  • You don't pay any training fees
  • You will earn a recognized degree
  • You will receive compensation: a percentage of the minimum wage based on your age and your progress in the training program
  • You are a full-time employee of a company: as such, the laws, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements of both the industry and the company apply to you under the same conditions as they do to other employees
  • You may be eligible for housing assistance
  • You may be eligible for financial assistance toward obtaining a driver's license
  • Your employability is enhanced

Our BUT programs are open to students

  • BUT GEA and BUT GEII: starting in the first year
  • GC-CD and SGM Programs: Starting in the 2nd year
  • GMP Program: Starting in the 9th grade

All programs open to apprentices

How to Become a First-Year Apprentice at the IUT in Nîmes

  • You must be under 30 years of age and a citizen of France or a member state of the European Economic Area
  • You must apply via the PARCOURSUP platform starting in January, until all available spots are filled. (Apprenticeship preferences are separate: if you are applying for both traditional degree programs and apprenticeship programs, you must submit two separate applications.)
  • You must submit your application to the CFA ENSUP LR (the Languedoc-Roussillon Apprentice Training Center)
  • You need to find a company
  • If your application is accepted , your final admission is contingent upon signing an apprenticeship contract. You will be asked to provide this contract during the administrative registration process (or, failing that, authorization from the CFA EnSup-LR).

How do I find a company?

The CFA ENSUP LR

In addition to your own efforts, which are essential when looking for an apprenticeship, you can receive support in creating effective application materials and learning job search techniques.

The CFA offers workshops by registration.
