As of the academic year 2021/2022, the ENAD is offering the DAES international, an English-speaking programme, for adults who have not been able to achieve the level of studies or the diploma necessary for continuing their studies at university.
The DAES is recognised as being a third official diploma besides the Luxembourgish secondary school leaving diplomas (classical and general studies); it provides access to labour market and higher education/university studies.
The day course is intended for learners who, in order to succeed in their studies, require regular monitoring of their learning and socio-educational supervision as is currently practised at ENAD.
For ease of access to universities and higher educational establishments, the course leading to the DAES covers the four areas of study defined in the organisation of the final cycle of study in secondary education. Each area of study is organised in modules. You will learn English, Business French, applied mathematics, biology, philosophy and arts.
To qualify for this programme, you will need sufficient language skills in English as well as in French. Applicants who submit verified language skills in English equivalent to the CEFR Level B 1.2 and in French equivalent to the CEFR Level B 1.1 will be given priority during selection process. Selection is based on the application documents and a personal interview of each potential student.
In this programme, each learner is in regular contact with a teacher-tutor who accompanies him/her in his/her personal and professional project. In the event of learning problems, the tutor offers specific remedial measures.
In daytime training, the teaching sessions are spread over five days of the week. The learner will have to attend classes regularly, an absence rate of more than 10% may lead to the termination of the training contract.
