Student Testimonial

A word from Miray

I chose to follow a training within Ascencia Business School and it corresponds perfectly to my expectations. Moreover, it is recognized by the State, which is a real asset for me. I find that the alternating rhythm of 3 days in the company and 2 days in training is excellent. I was particularly attracted to his quality teaching and his participatory approach.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Mastere Purchasing and Supply Management course?

If you complete your year under a professionalization contract or an apprenticeship contract, your company pays the tuition fees for your training. The remaining cost is therefore zero.

On the other hand, if you are on a work-study program or in initial training, you will have to pay the tuition fees. To learn more about our rates, contact us directly.

Why do a Mastere Purchasing and Supply at Ascencia ?

With a general core curriculum, the Mastere provided by Ascencia allow you to develop the general skills that will make you a competent employee in any field of activity you choose. You will deepen your chosen specialization via the dedicated teaching units, but also thanks to your experience in a company. Thus, instead of simply training technicians who master the tools of the job, the program makes it possible to train managers-entrepreneurs capable of exercising responsibilities from the outset.

Can I do my training abroad?

International openness is a major challenge for us. From your second year at Ascencia Business School, you have the possibility to obtain a double degree in one of our partner universities. You will return with a certificate from this foreign university and the equivalent French title.

Ascencia is also developing internationally through the opening of Ascencia International, a network of schools located abroad, where you can study our programs directly on site.
