Who we are
For over twenty years, ESIC has trained students for careers in IT, digital technology and business. Our programs run either as work-study (splitting your week between the school and a company) or as full-time study, from vocational level up to a Bac+5 (five-year) degree, and lead to state-recognized qualifications.
One school, two career families
ESIC supports its students across two broad fields: IT and digital technology on one side, and business, management, marketing and communication on the other. This dual focus mirrors how companies actually work, where technical and business profiles operate side by side.
Most of our programs are work-study. You split your week between the school and a company, you hold employee status, and your tuition fees are covered by the employer and its skills funding body (OPCO). It is a way to learn a profession by practising it, and to enter the job market with real experience.
IT and digital technology
Our IT programs cover application development, systems and network administration, cybersecurity and data analysis. The curricula are built with working professionals, so they stay aligned with the skills companies expect.
Business, management, marketing and communication
On the business and management side, our programs cover customer relations, sales negotiation, running a business unit or a branch, digital marketing and communication. They suit students continuing their studies as much as people changing careers.
Our teaching approach
We combine structured classes, hands-on projects and real practice in a company. Each student is supported by a dedicated advisor throughout the journey, from onboarding to graduation. The goal is not just to earn a qualification, but to be fully operational in the target role.
In short. ESIC is an apprentice training center (CFA): the large majority of our programs are work-study, under an apprenticeship or professionalization contract, with a salary and training costs covered.
