Continuing Education

The Faculty of Sport Sciences of the University of Aix-Marseille develops its training programs in Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees in the fields of Physical and Sporting Activities (STAPS) and Human Movement (SMH).

It professionalizes its students in 4 major training areas targeting as many core professions: APAS, MS, EM, IEMH research...
All FSS courses can be taken as part of continuing education.

You must contact our CE manager who is your privileged contact.

Initial training or continuing education

There are two different registration statuses, either initial training or continuing education. Regardless of the student status, the courses will be identical.

If you are pursuing your higher education studies directly after your baccalaureate, you are in fact in initial training.
If you are a job seeker, employee, RSA beneficiary, self-employed, returning to school or a student who has just completed a sandwich course, you are most likely in continuing education.

You are eligible for continuing education if you meet one of the following conditions at the beginning of the training and the resulting aid:

Person resuming studies financed by a third party:

Job seekers
Beneficiary of the RSA
Liberal professions, craftsmen, independent workers
Employees financed under :
- CPF (Personal Training Account)
- Professional Transition Project (Reconversion)
- Professionalization contract
- Training plan
- Collective agreement
- Your training is paid for by a third party (OPCA, Fongecif, DIF, etc...)

Person resuming studies not financed by a third party:

You have interrupted your studies for at least one year
Employed on their own time and not financed by a third party
Housewife
Job seeker
Beneficiary of the RSA
Student who has completed a sandwich course or previously enrolled in continuing education.

To set up your training project, contact the continuing education service of the Faculty of Sports Sciences.

Application and registration

The reflection of your professional project must integrate different criteria including the financing of the training action.
A training estimate will be drawn up by the CE department according to the diploma chosen and the study arrangements envisaged, if any.

The training courses agreed with the Southern Region give the right to remuneration and social protection. The additional costs of transport and accommodation may be covered in full or in part after studying your application.
Co-financing is still possible for candidates depending on their status and situation. However, no additional financing beyond the amount of the candidate's CPF can be mobilized.
If no financing is possible and the regional aid is not granted, you may, as a last resort, appeal to the exemption commission.
