Professional program
The Academy offers 3 professional training programs called "Executive Master's": Knitting Design/Knitting, Food Design, and Interior Design Management.
These programs are recognized by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles as continuing education. They are certification programs (with a certificate awarded upon successful completion, validating the acquisition of skills in the field of the training).
Access to these programs is reserved for those holding a Bac + 3 degree or based on the recognition of prior learning from a personal and professional artistic background.
Please note: Candidates admitted to these programs do not acquire the status of regular students.
These programs are recognized by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles as continuing education courses, in accordance with the decree of November 7, 2013, which defines the landscape of higher education and the academic organization of studies, particularly Article 15, §1, 34° of this decree.
The programs are certifying (successful completion of the program results in a certificate confirming the acquisition of skills in the relevant field). However, they are not diploma-granting, meaning they do not lead to the award of an academic degree upon successful completion. The certificate does, however, confirm the acquisition of credits. The credits earned at the end of the one-year program cannot be transferred for credit when continuing an academic program, unless specified by the higher education institution where the participant would later seek admission.
Candidates admitted to these programs do not acquire the status of a regular student. Upon completion, students may be issued either a certificate of completion or an attendance certificate.
Access to these programs is reserved for individuals with a Bachelor's degree (Bac +3) or based on the recognition of prior learning from a personal and professional artistic background.
All applications for continuing education programs must be submitted following the procedures and requirements established for each specific program. These procedures (required documents, admission conditions, etc.), the curricula, and details about the specific assessments for each Executive Master program can be found on the dedicated pages for each program.
