Continuous vocational training: this is aimed at all categories of active adults, employees, job seekers, civil servants, freelance workers, entrepreneurs. It allows them to build on or gain a recognised standard of qualification. Accreditation of Life Experience: validation des acquis de l’expérience (VAE) this allows vocational qualifications to be gained through the recognition of skills and learning obtained through paid or unpaid work. These different routes make it possible to meet the needs of different people seeking qualifications, whatever their age, educational standard or experience. They make real life-long learning a possibility

  4. INITIAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATIONEducation Routes after collège (Lower Secondary) In France, school is compulsory from the age of six to sixteen. From the age of six to eleven, young people attend l’écoleélémentaire (elementary school). Subsequently, they attend collège(lower secondary school) for four years. At the end of collège(lower secondary) pupils can choose between two different options: The general route or the technological route: pupils work towards a baccalauréatgénéral (general baccalaureate) or a baccalauréattechnologique (technological baccalaureate) in a lycée(upper secondary school). This route is aimed at the continuation of studies in higher education. For the Certificatd’aptitudeprofessionnelle(Vocational training certificate), training is 2 300 hours over two years including 420 to 560 hours dedicated to work-based training (12 to 16 weeks). For the Baccalauréatprofessionnel (vocational baccalaureate) training is 3 400 to 3 500 hours over three years including 770 hours in work-based training (22 weeks). 15 yearsold The vocational route: over two years pupils work towards a Certificatd’aptitudeprofessionnelle(Vocational Training Certificate) which allows entry into the work place or further study towards a Baccalauréatprofessionnel(vocational bacca-aureate), or a Baccalauréatprofessionnel over three years which also allows entry into the workplace or further studies. Young people can work towards these diplomas either in a lycéeprofessionnel (vocational upper secondary) or as an on-the-job apprentice.

  5. KEY-FIGURES for initial vocational training 40 % of collège (lower secondary school) pupils take the vocational route.700 000 vocational pupils and 200 000 on-the-job apprentices ( at secondary level)1 700 lycéesprofessionnels (vocational upper secondary schools / state and private schools under contract with the State)1500 centres de formation d’apprentis (apprenticeship training centres)40 % of young holders of the baccalauréatprofessionnel (vocational baccalaureate) go on to higher education, mainly to obtain a brevet de techniciensupérieur – BTS (advanced vocational certificate over two years). This diploma certifies the ability to have a professional activity at intermediary level.

  6. CONTINUOUS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION Employees and job seekers can work towards vocational diplomas as part of continuous vocational training. Organisations that can provide training for them include les groupementsd’établissements (Greta) de l’Éducationnationale (groupings of national education establishments). The Gretas are formed by state schools, collèges(lower secondary), lycées(upper secondary schools), lycéestechnologiques(technological upper secondary schools) and lycéesprofessionnels(vocational secondary schools): – which group together depending on their geographical proximity; – that pool their skills; – that make up one of the largest networks of adult education providers. Present in all regions, 211 Gretasincluding 6 500 sites train some 450 000 adults every year. These can be employees, civil servants, job seekers, young people, older people… They can : – adjust the length and content of courses according to the needs and objectives of individuals: the employee or the job seeker can build his or her own course and spread it over time; – offer services such as the skills audits, support for validation des acquis de l’expérience(accreditation of life experience) or careers advice. Continuous training organisations: The Greta of the National Education Ministry and the organisations attached to the Higher Education, Employment, Agriculture and Health Ministries etc. are part of the public sector. The chambers of commerce and industry, the chambers of trade and the chambers of agriculture are all large service-providers of the semi-public sector. Private training companies, charities and freelance consultants are part of the private sector.
