In some cases, a visa is required. It must be requested from the French consulate before departure.
If you need a visa, you will be required to supply the pre-enrolment certificate which we will send you on reception of your application form and payment of the deposit.
IMPORTANT: You are considered to be a participant of a professional training course and do not have trainee or student status, therefore, you cannot ask for a student visa.
