ECTS is the European system for transferring and accumulating credits. ECTS, or the European Credits Transfer System, was developed by the European Union in order to make it easier to understand and compare study programmes. It is part of the Bologna process. The curriculum is described in the programme outline section.

BAAC2 and BAAC3: The course framework is currently being approved by the relevant management bodies.
evaluating experienced candidates
If a potential candidate has completed a similar course at another circus school that is part of the Bologna system or can provide proof of at least 5 years of professional experience, they can ask for this to be assessed VAE. A panel of judges will then meet to assess the candidate’s experience. Please note that this is arranged during the admission tests and is not organised automatically.Fiches de cours 24-25 B1
