Program Objectives

This Public Careers and Major Competitions (CPGC) track is linked to the Preparation for Administrative Competitions (PCA).
Its aim is to train senior civil servants who have a strong command of social sciences, thus enabling them to have the critical perspective and distance necessary for the reasoned exercise of responsibilities.
It is a personalized preparation program that allows for individual tracking of students.

It provides the essential knowledge required for A+ and A-level competitive exams in the state, territorial, and hospital public services.
The program prepares students for the specificities of these types of competitions, particularly in terms of methodology, by regularly training them for the various formats of the exams.
