CMA Formation Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Chambre de Métiers et de l'Artisanat - formation)

The Chambers of Trades and Crafts (CMA) organize, through their CMA Formation centers, professional training programs focused on careers and apprenticeships. CMA Formation Nouvelle-Aquitaine offers recognized professional titles (e.g., Web and Mobile Web Developer, Application Developer) and work-study programs to quickly train operational profiles: software development, software architecture, IT maintenance, and support. The training is aimed at young apprentices, job seekers, and adults in retraining. International students can, depending on the case, enroll as apprentices or follow programs open to non-apprentices; details and access are available on the dedicated pages.

For international students, admission requirements depend on the field but are detailed in the program sheets: most training programs indicate admission criteria such as 'application / tests / interview / group information' and a local contact for inquiries and applications (direct registration or through an employment advisor, or through partner work-study programs like CMonAlternance / AFEC depending on the session). For the Application Developer title, the sheet mentions an 'entry level: Bac+2' while specifying that access to the training can be open 'to all audiences, without diploma requirements' and that access to certification respects the prerequisites defined by the Ministry of Labor. For the Web & Mobile Web Developer title, the sheets vary (programs without prerequisites or programs requiring a high school diploma); some sessions indicate a 'desired level: equivalent B2/C1 in French'. The 'sessions / contacts' page specifies session dates and the local contact number for each session — it is through these contacts that international candidates should reach out for the practical procedure. The site does not provide a standardized list of documents for foreign students (nor recognition criteria for foreign diplomas, nor precise lists of accepted language certificates such as DELF/TCF/IELTS/TOEFL, nor Campus France / Studies in France procedures). General pricing information is not published for these titles (only some programs or PDF sheets mention possible regional funding). The site does not address visa / residence permit procedures: international candidates must contact the relevant consular service and the training contact indicated on the sheet.
