ASSESSMENT METHODS
Students are evaluated in many different ways throughout their course:
→ The type of examination is adapted to the level of teaching: during the 1st cycle, examinations (Multiple Choice, tests of knowledge, practical exercises) mainly aim to confirm knowledge acquisition. Later, students are mainly evaluated through case studies, role-play exercises and presentation of project work.
→ Each placement requires a report to be written demonstrating that the relevant skills have been acquired.
→ In the 5th year, students submit an End of Studies Thesis (EST) and defend it before a jury composed of two professors. The validation of the EST is one of the requirements for the diploma.
More generally, we use the following six levels of cognitive skill to evaluate our students:
→Understand: quizzes, pairing exercises, etc.
→ Recognise / Know: quizzes, pairing exercises, etc.
→Apply: (practical exercises, simulations, etc.)
→Analyse: (problem-solving, case studies, etc.)
→Evaluate: (case studies, critiques, etc.)
→Create: (projects, etc.)
Professors award bonus points for active participation in class or in remote sessions when students contribute to a discussion forum.

Alternating internship
An alternating internship is halfway between a classic internship and a work-study program. It generally lasts longer than a simple internship (6 to 10 months), and the student’s status is not the same as in the case of a sandwich course.
The alternating internship must take place according to the training schedule, i.e. 3 weeks in the company / 1 week in the training program. The host organization can pay for the student’s training costs in full, in part or not at all. This negotiation takes place between the student and the company.
The school can intervene as a support. In all cases, as the internship is longer than 2 months, the student receives a salary at least equivalent to the legal salary in force.
The interest of the alternating internship is that it constitutes an immersion in the professional world which allows the student to put into practice his theoretical knowledge.
Work-study basis
The apprenticeship contract is a written employment contract of limited duration (CDL) or unlimited duration (CDI) between an employee and an employer. It allows the apprentice to follow a sandwich course in a company under the responsibility of an apprentice master and in an apprentice training center (CFA) for 6 months to 3 years.
The apprenticeship contract must follow the training schedule, i.e. 3 weeks in the company / 1 week of training.
Since January 1, 2020, the cost of the training is covered by the skills operators (OPCO), according to a level set by the professional branches according to the field of activity of the title or diploma in question (or, failing that, by decree, particularly when the training has never been provided in apprenticeship).
For contracts lasting more than one year, the cost of the training is covered for each year of the contract. Coverage is granted on a pro rata basis for the last year of the contract. When the duration of the contract is less than one year, the amount is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the level of annual support.
In the event of early termination of the apprenticeship contract, payment is made on a pro rata basis for the duration of the apprenticeship contract. Any month of the contract started is due.
This formula allows the student to acquire a unique long-term experience as a real company employee (1 week at school – 3 weeks in the company). In addition, it guarantees a salary between 27 and 100 of the SMIC depending on age and level of study.
The advantage of an apprenticeship contract is that it combines theoretical instruction at school with practical experience in a company. It thus enables the student to obtain a qualified diploma at the end of his or her studies.

Testimonials
Victoire Hossard
I started a business while studying at EDC Paris Business School. And in parallel, I integrated the Student Entrepreneur Course. This course is a great accompaniment from A to Z on all our business creation.
Christelle Georget
I chose “IE” for its international aspect. I have just returned from an internship with an Australian start-up. There are so many opportunities and markets to seize abroad!
Margaux Lelux
In the 3rd year, I worked, within the framework of my internship, within the Orange External Communication Department, on two major events: the GQ Night Style in the Marais district, and the Euro football organized in France during the summer of 2016.
Adrian Tabone
All the missions carried out were rich of teaching. At the end of the year, I did my internship “Commercial Force” in a Nicolas shop as a Proxy Manager and I gained a lot of autonomy and rigor.
Julien Brassart
I’ve lived in several countries and I speak 4 languages. The choice of EDC Paris Business School was obvious to me because I was looking for a school with an international opening and a course all in English.
