2. Application file
The candidate receives by email an application file to complete and return. This file is used to check the prerequisites, gather the candidate’s expectations and identify any adaptation needs, particularly in the case of a disability. If the file is compliant, we confirm by email that the application has been accepted, and the candidate confirms their registration.

Access time
