School · Recognition
Our Bachelor and Master programmes, in Design and in Communication, lead to qualifications registered in the RNCP by France Compétences, the French state body for professional certifications. The school is Qualiopi-certified and offers the first certified generative AI course of any design school.

01 · Our qualifications
Each programme leads to a certification registered with France Compétences. The numbers link to their official record.
Both Masters lead to the same level 7 qualification, with courses and projects specific to each track.
02 · The RNCP qualification
The Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles (RNCP), maintained by France Compétences, lists the degrees and titles recognised by the French state. The Bachelor leads to a level 6 qualification (Bac+3, equivalent to a bachelor’s degree), the Master to a level 7 qualification (Bac+5, equivalent to a master’s degree).
The qualification is organised in skill blocks, assessed separately. Each block you pass is yours for good; the full qualification is awarded once all blocks are passed.
A five-member jury meets after the assessments and any resits: three working professionals and two members of the teaching team.
03 · Qualiopi
Qualiopi is the quality certification for training providers, introduced by the French law of 5 September 2018. Awarded for four years by a body accredited by COFRAC, at our school it covers both training programmes and apprenticeship training. It notably allows work-study programmes to be funded.
