[1] The scale of BTS institutions is similar to a high school: in the numerous places of educational offerings, the number of students per class, and the average study load.
The LMD reform encourages holders of BTS, after a year equal to L2, to continue their studies until acquiring a professional license or DCG (L3).
Some BTS graduates can go on to engineering colleges, business schools, university preparatory classes for a Diploma in Accounting and Management (DCG), and the Professionalized Institute (IUP).
This training is suitable especially in the context of continuing professional education, because people who work can study in the evening or on weekends.
Distance education requires personal work and autonomy on the part of the student, but some organizations offer group sessions to review and preparations for oral interviews.
Institutions offering BTS certificate distance learning include: Candidate students are usually first considered from all the test results of the same examination session.
For some sections, a CV (curriculum vitae) and/or a cover letter are required, although legally selection can be done from the applicant's file alone.
The use of these interviews is often trying to determine whether educational perspective and technical qualifications (files are sometimes insufficient to properly assess the candidate's ability) are sufficient for the integrating training BTS.
The content of the training for each specialty is developed by an advisory committee that meets Joint employers, employees and government.
