Académie de Paris Authorization:
Under the French education system, private schools are either “sous contrat” – with the government paying teachers’ salaries and the school following the national curriculum – or “hors contrat” - not funded by the government, and therefore not obligated to follow any particular curriculum.
The City University of Paris is a "hors contrat" school, therefore our awards are not equivalent to awards of French public educational institutions. The City University of Paris delivers all its programs in the English medium and exclusively enrolls international students outside of France. The City University of Paris seeks only international accreditation and professional memberships outside of France due to the nature of its authorization and operations.
Professional Training Authorization:
Authorized professional training providers must be active at the time of delivering training. To maintain active status, training organizations must submit their financial and pedagogical reports annually to the Ministry of Labor.
Below are the steps to verify the active status of a training organization with the Ministry of Labor.
1. Visit https://annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr/
2. Search "City University of Paris"
3. Click the "Label & Certificates" tab
4. The status should read "This structure is a training organization, up to date with their obligations"
If a training provider's profile does not have a "label & certificates" tab, it is no longer declared active and authorized by the Ministry of Labor.
