The institute
Studying from where you are
Accessibility is decided on concrete details: the weight of a page, the size of a text, content that opens without a network, a pace that works alongside a job. Here is how each of those points is handled.
What makes the programme reachable
Four technical choices, made before the first piece of content was produced. They explain why a programme can be followed on an entry-level phone, over a connection that comes and goes.
Designed for the phone
Every page of the programme reads and works on a narrow screen, with large touch targets and resizable text.
Openable offline
Content you have opened stays available without a network and resynchronises on its own when connection returns.
Light by construction
No decorative photography, no forced media: the visual material is data, which cuts the volume downloaded.
Readable first
Contrast held in both light and dark themes, an explicit heading hierarchy, keyboard-usable navigation.
A pace that fits your life
The catalogue opens 3 paces on the same content, leading to the same award. The weekly workload stated is actual work: it is the figure on which compatibility with a job is decided, and it is the one we publish.

Every course page shows its amount, period and payment schedule.
Assessment adjustments
An adjustment is requested once and holds for the whole programme. The request goes to the academic council, which issues a named, dated decision.
- Extended time on assessments, granted for the duration of the programme
- Adapted paper format: increased contrast, text size, audio version
- Staged submission on a long piece of work, with redefined milestones
- Assessment slot moved to accommodate a professional constraint
- Substitute equipment accepted where an assessment assumes a specific tool
Questions about accessibility
Do I need a computer to follow a programme?
A phone is enough for reading, exercises and exchanges with the tutor. Some technical work assumes a specific tool, stated on the programme page before enrolment; substitute equipment is granted on request from the academic council.
How do I request an adjustment?
In one line, from your space or by email, describing the constraint rather than justifying it. You receive a named acknowledgement within two working days and a written decision within the times published on the governance page.
Does the site work in both French and English?
Every public page exists in both languages, with its own address. Programme content is produced in French, the language of instruction, and technical vocabulary is given in both languages so it stays usable in an international professional context.

- VisionTalent that wants to qualify without leaving home, employers hiring for precise skills: a single equation, solved in one place. IHETC is built to hold it, and this page says exactly how.
- Our modelA programme is judged on three things: what is taught, how you verify it was learned, and who answers for it. Here are our three answers, with what makes each of them true.
- Teaching methodAn hour of teaching at IHETC has a precise shape, and it is the same across every programme. Knowing it before you enrol tells you what you will do with your time, week after week.
- GovernanceAn institution that names its officers commits someone. Here is who carries the project, which decisions belong to people, and the exact route a complaint follows.
- Academic governanceDecisions touching programmes and awards are taken in council, on a written agenda and by vote. Here is what the academic council settles, how it sits, and what follows from each of its meetings.
- Academic teamFour roles surround every programme, and each carries a written responsibility. Knowing who designs, who marks and who follows you tells you whom to contact, from day one.
- QualityTeaching quality is proved by the circuit that produces it and by the reviews that correct it. Here are both, with their cadence, their checkpoints and what every report triggers.
- Status and authorisationsIHETC is a private higher education institution, authorised by order of the ministry responsible for higher education and approved as a vocational training centre. Here are both frameworks, what they permit, and how to check them.
- Service commitmentsA commitment without a timeframe stays an intention. Here are ours: quantified, enforceable and identical for every enrolled learner, whatever the programme and whatever the fee paid.
- Ethics and use of AITooling produces fast, a person guarantees. This page says precisely where the tool operates, where the decision belongs to someone, and what you can expect from it during your programme.
- Data protectionA remote institution holds information about your path. Here is what it holds, what each item is for, how long it lives, and the six actions you can take yourself at any time.
- Applied researchResearch here carries an obligation to deliver: every project ends in a teachable module, a usable framework or a delivered tool. Here are the priorities, the circuit and the application grounds.
- International outlookAn award travels provided it is documented the way an equivalence office expects. Here is what every IHETC file contains, what a programme allows from another country, and how it can all be checked.
- Institutional partnershipsA school, an administration or a company working with us obtains a programme, a calendar and defensible records. Here are the four possible forms, what each covers, and how an agreement is put in place.
- SustainabilityIHETC's frugality comes from its model, not from a campaign: with no campus to heat, no daily commuting and no imposed paper, the essentials are secured by design. Here is exactly what that covers.
- PatronageA patron here funds something very precise: a place, a piece of equipment, or a practitioner's time. Here are the three forms open, what each covers exactly, and what the patron receives in return.
- Institutional calendarAn institutional year follows a fixed frame: admissions, opening, mid-point, assessments, boards. Knowing it tells you when to file an application, when you will be assessed and when your award is issued.
- The institute in figuresEvery number on this page is computed from the deposited catalogue at the moment the site is built. None is typed in by hand, which lets you recount them all for yourself.
