Missions

With nearly 30 years' experience in professional continuing education for adults, Inalco's Continuing Education department welcomes, informs, guides and supports people looking for training leading to a certificate or diploma.

Our training policy is part of a global skills development approach tailored to market demands and the needs of professionals. It supports a number of public and private partners, organizations and institutions, such as the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the Louvre Museum, the Paris Opera, the Comédie Française Theatre, SDA,... in the development of customized intra-company training courses.

Continuing Education acts as consultant and expert for companies and public bodies in economic, commercial, cultural and other fields.

CF's language courses prepare for the Lilate certification test (LIVE LANGUAGE TEST Certificate) in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. These courses are aimed at anyone wishing to discover one of the oriental languages offered in evening classes.
In collaboration with the Maison de la Culture du Japon (MCJP), FC organizes the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

Thanks to its cellvalidation des acquis de l'expérience (VAE), the Continuing Education department welcomes and supports any person returning to study, to help them draw up a validation file to have their professional experience recognized and validated, and obtain partial or total certification of a diploma under the January 17, 2002 social modernization law.

In 2022-23, more than 1,800 trainees took part in training courses offered by the company.
