The final diploma is accepted by hotel schools and tourism schools and, after a year’s internship, as a commercial employee of the «Certificat fédéral de capacité» (CFC).  A single year’s study in the Commercial Course leads to a Secretarial Diploma.

THE SCHOOL WORKS EVERYDAY TO:

Créer et développer un esprit de travail et d'étude chez chaque élève

 - create and develop a spirit of work and study in each student.

 - organise cultural and extra-curricular activities (conferences, theatre, shows and trips) to complement the teaching given in class.

- maintain and develop an excellent quality to all the services provided to the students: catering, cleaning, transport, utilities, administration and security.

- develop and maintain a quality community life by encouraging the spirit of openness, respect and well-being.

- implement a quality management system in the context of continuous improvement.

- organise individual and team sports activities so the students have a healthy lifestyle.
