French dual and practical training approaches

Abstract

French regulations for dual training represent a very structured and strong framework for high education institutions that implement dual programs. They define the roles of each stakeholder, High Education Institution (HEI), companies, learners, as well as the financial and educational rules that govern the construction, the implementation and the exploitation of a dual program. This paper describes main French regulations; how they have been managed by an engineering school to implement bachelor and master programs, and how dual partners are integrated into lectures and evaluation processes through some examples.
