Our success campuses

Paris-Nanterre, Lyon-Saint-Priest and Bordeaux-Bègles: our three campuses embody our ambition for excellence in training.   

We have designed them to provide individualised support using innovative teaching technologies that alternate theory and practice: virtual reality simulators, “serious games”, tutorials, e-learning, etc. These ultra-efficient, state-of-the-art tools support human support, because nothing can replace the transmission of knowledge by trainers and managers in the field.  

For your convenience, we provide on-site accommodation and catering, as well as extras such as gyms and fitness trails! So, are you tempted?  

Immersive teaching tools

Virtual reality training courses allow you to immerse yourself in complete safety in railway rights of way, watch a points replacement project, detect and repair a fault on a passenger information screen, etc. It's enough to get you up to speed quickly!
