Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development at UHA is delivered by the Adult Education, Research and Training Service (SERFA) which offers nigh on 150 continuing professional education and training programmes which lead to qualifications or diplomas. It is the first point of contact and orientation for all adults wishing to join a university-based programme. It also supports those seeking validation of prior learning and experience (VAE).

Apprenticeship

At UHA education and training via appreniceship is handled by the Universities of Alsace Centre for the Education and Training of Apprentices (CFAU). Education and training in an apprenticeship mode take place on a bloc-release basis (time in the workplace alternating with time at university). This enables the student to develop a sense of self-reliance, professional training and a recognised qualification coupled with professional experience. Moreover, the student-apprentice earns a salary and benefits significantly from the different statuses under which he operates :

• As a student : CLOUS, university restaurant, library, Culture Card, etc.
• As a salaried employee : contract with an enterprise (financial autonomy), rapid entry into the world of work
• Two lines of learning and teaching : with university and workplace tutors
• A long, first professional experience with exposure to a considerable number of different tasks and missions which represents a significant advantage when it comes to the CV / résumé.

Certifications

Numerous certificates can be studied for at the UHA in varied domains such as languages and ICT. The Learning Center assists students seeking languages certifications and with the ICT and Pix, the objective thereof being to validate a range of ICT skills which are indispensable today.
