At Itecom, all our courses are enrolled in programs that adapt to the expectations of students and are thus available as an initial program or alternately. Some are possible from a distance. Regardless of the program chosen, students are trained to enter the job market effectively and meet the demands of employers.

Initial formation

The initial formation allows the student to devote all his time to studies.

• The student has a traditional academic pace while having the opportunity to have a student job outside of class hours and finance his formation.
• It benefits from the school holidays calendar of the academic region.
• The payment terms are mentioned in the registration contract.
• Possibilities of internship in company.
• Possibilities of financing thanks to our banking partners with reduced and interesting rates (Socièté Générale, BNP Paribas, LCL …).

Work-study formation

Work-study formation is for students wishing to combine studies and professional experience

It is recommended that students begin with an initial year of study in order to acquire sufficient knowledge and appropriate attitudes to be effective in their work within the host company. In addition, during this first year of study, the student can be supported by his training consultant who will help him in his search for alternation.

The student will be signed a contract of professionalisation, the tuition fees will be entirely or partially supported by the OPCA from which the company contributes. Therefore, the student receives a salary and has professional experience, which will be an advantage for the search for a future job. The rhythm of the alternation is 75% of his time in the company and 25% remaining at school. The pace varies according to the training (3 days – 2 days / 1 week in the month / …). In alternation, the training remains free for the student because it is paid by the OPCA of the company. The student receives a salary according to his age and his diplomas.

Added to those acquired in 2016 (credited early 2017) and so on, until reaching this ceiling of 150 hours. The PFA is “rechargeable”: the capital of hours is reconstituted after each use.
• Acquisitions of hours under the pfa : your capital under the PFA is:
  • The balance of your DIF hours if any.
  • Hours earned, as of January 1, 2015, under an employment contract (24 hours per year for full-time salaried work throughout the year, until the acquisition of a credit of 120 hours, then 12 hours a year, within the limit of a total ceiling of 150 hours).

What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?

Continuing Professional Development is aimed at both employees and job seekers, young people and adults through various schemes.

Its purpose is:
• facilitate their adaptation to the developments of new technologies and new working conditions;
• contribute to maintaining and improving their level of qualification;
• to increase their chances of social and professional advancement.

Employees are trained as part of their company’s training plan; they also have the personal formation account (PFA), the individual leave to formation (ILF), the leave of absence of competency (LAC) and the leave validation of the acquired experience (LVAE). and the remuneration is then processed by the collecting body (Opca, Opacif) to which the company belongs.

Jobseekers have training funded by the Region, the State, the employment center, the County Councils and the municipalities. They can be trained under a particular contract of employment including training. Young people between the ages of 16 and 26 receive training financed by the Region or under the professionalization contract. Compensation for jobseekers falls under Unemployment Insurance according to their individual situation or under certain conditions of remuneration paid by the Region or the State.

• the level of remuneration of the incumbents practicing their profession corresponds to the level at which the title is inscribed;
• most of the incumbents work in the trades targeted by the formation;
• the skills necessary to practice the profession are clearly identified and evaluated;
