Registration
How do I enrol on a commercial training course?
The admission procedure may differ from one establishment to another. If you want to do a course in commerce, it’s best to find out about it in advance from the establishment in question. If you have a baccalaureate and have chosen a specialism related to commerce, you can normally enter a commerce course from the 1st year of higher education.
You can also opt for a course in a related field such as finance, marketing or law. After a short 2 or 3 year course, you can then look to join a business school. In this case, depending on the school, you may have to sit a competitive entrance exam or submit an application.

A short cycle

Above all, do you want to get into the world of work as quickly as possible? Then the short course is for you. You can choose to do your business training at either a public university or a specialist school.
In the first case, you can take a BTS or a BUT, both of which take 2 years to complete. Or you can opt for a licence pro, which is highly professional. However, you should opt for a licence if you plan to continue your studies.
If you prefer to train in business at a private institution, you can usually take a bachelor’s or BBA degree.
H3: A long cycle
If your ambition is to move into more responsible professions, you should opt for a long degree course. You will need at least 5 years of study to obtain your degree. If you do a business course in the public sector, you can obtain a master’s degree in international business. Choose a specialist school to study for a master’s degree, an MSc or an MBA.
