French and vocational training

 


French in Normandy is proud to offer an exciting range of courses for those wishing to put their language skills into practice in the world of work.

All these courses are offered in partnership with the very best specialist institutions in Normandy and in collaboration with Haute Normandie Internationale, the international section of the regional Chamber of Commerce.

The courses we offer in conjunction with the Institut National de la Boulangerie and Patîsserie (INBP) or the Institut Culinaire et Touristique de la Normandie (ICTN) constitute a two-stage path to a successful career in the hospitality and catering industries

Every year France, the world’s number one tourism destination, welcomes more than 67 million visitors from all over the world hungry to taste the excellence of French cuisine.

The French tourist industry owes its success to the unique quality of service and cuisine that tourists find in hotels and restaurants all over the country.

France’s unique savoir-faire in the field of hospitality and culinary arts is a result of rigorous professional training based on sound principles and tried and tested traditions.

Rouen, at the heart of the historic region of Normandy, boasts culinary specialities known the whole world over, as well as centres of excellence in the field of training in cuisine, baking, pâtisserie and restaurant management.
