What is pre-professionalization for future student teacher?
Verified 05 July 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The pre-professionalization path allows students to gradually enter the profession of teacher. This path is reflected in a pre-professionalization contract. Its duration is 3 years. It is offered to students from the license (L2). It includes a university course and practical training in a school or school on 2nd degree. We present you with the information you need to know.
Reminder
The pre-professionalization pathway replaced the Student Apprentice Teacher (EAP) scheme.
The pre-professionalization contract allows:
- Gradually enter the profession of teacher as an education assistant
- To receive remuneration
- To validate the professional experience acquired during pre-professionalization within the framework of the master's degree in teaching, education and training professions (MEEF).
This contract is based on alternating training:
- University theoretical training (L2, L3, master's, allowing to obtain credits ECTS)
- And hands-on training through a classroom immersion supervised by a tutor teacher.
To enter into a pre-professionalization contract, you must meet the following conditions:
- Be a student and enrolled in 2e year of license (L2)
- Have the professional plan to present a teaching competition.
