Good to know

The programme can also be followed with a flexible schedule. It is open to all those who wish to train to become a primary school teacher, but who are unable to attend a daytime programme due to work commitments or personal constraints.

One of the defining characteristics of a primary school teacher is their versatility. They teach all school subjects and supervise both young children aged 6 and future teenagers aged 11 to 12.

This profession requires personal investment and human qualities that are often rewarded by the progress and enthusiasm of the children.

Most teachers work in classrooms, in mainstream or in special needs education. A teaching qualification also enables them to work in educational services (publishers, museums, theatres, libraries, etc.), in the field of health promotion, etc.

• Each year includes activities to develop didactic skills across multiple disciplines (French, plastic and visual arts, physical development, religion, mathematics, introduction to geography, history and science, music, ICT and media).
• Alternating between class observation, teaching practice and study from week 1. Theory linked to practice in particular through professional training workshops.
