The ISUPFERE programme in continuing education (FC)
The training cycle begins with a 6-month period, the harmonisation cycle consists of a period of refresher training. This is followed by a 2-year Engineering cycle leading to the award of the title of Engineer.

Harmonization cycle (approx. 220h)
Mechanics, Electricity, Mathematics, Chemistry, Energy, Written synthesis
Engineering cycle (1200h)
Training is divided into 4 modules:
- Regulation, control and networks (220 hours) : Measurement chains, automation and regulation
- Engineering Management Methods (300 hours): Project management, Functioning of organizations, Economic calculation, Team management, Technical synthesis and decision support
- Communication and NTIC (200 hours): English, information systems, communication Energetics (360 hours): Thermodynamics, Machines, Heat and mass transfer, Fluid mechanics, HVAC engineering, Electrical engineering, Energy optimization
In-company training involves carrying out projects related to the training program. The acquisition of in-company skills is validated by the writing and oral presentation of project briefs.
Harmonization cycleY1
January to September of Year 1
240 h minimum – Friday and Saturday
Subjects: Mechanics, Electricity, Mathematics, Chemistry, Energetics, Written synthesis.
For candidates living far from Paris, part of the course can be taken remotely (distance learning partly available). Regular group meetings are nevertheless organized to create a group dynamic.
Engineering training Y2
From September of Year 1 to September of Year 2
Subjects: Project Management, Automation and Control, Engineering Office Automation and Programming, Heat and Mass Transfer, Industrial Electricity, Machines, Energetics, Electronics and Information Transmission, Economic Calculation, Technical Synthesis and Decision-Making, English.
Student engineers are required to write a short dissertation setting out the methods used in the company to solve a technical problem. The dissertation takes around 250 hours to complete, and is accompanied by an oral presentation.
Cycle Ingénieur I3
From September of year 2 to September of year 3
Subjects: Modeling, Energy Technologies Project, Information Systems, Air and Environmental Quality, Acoustics, Reliability, Engineer’s Identity, Functioning of Organizations, Purchasing, Oral Expression, Argumentation, English, Preparation of the engineering thesis.
Completion of the final report on an engineering project represents around 250 hours of work, and is accompanied by an oral defense before the jury to gradutate.
