The first 2 years are full-time in initial training with lessons from Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The third year, marking your entry into working life, can be done at a pace adapted to work-study programs (2 days at school and 3 days in the company).
You can sign a professionalization or apprenticeship contract with a company, which will then cover your tuition fees.
Who is this training aimed at?
- After the Baccalauréat (or equivalent degree), I can join the 1st year to learn all the fundamentals and prepare myself to the active life.
- I have already studied Computer Science (college, universities, etc.), I can join in parallel admission from the 2th year or even the 3rd with the work-study program.
- Not graduated? Contact us, some equivalences are still possible ;-)

Our academic partners,
members of our Advisory Board
École Hexagone invites companies and key market players the opportunity to join its Advisory Board. This council, which meets several times a year, determines the academic content of programmes to ensure they meet the (future) needs of companies.
The objective of these academic and strategic partnerships is twofold: the students benefit from cutting-edge education, and they will ultimately help develop the audience for French technologies by exporting them via future graduates.
