Programme overview

The BTS CIEL (Cybersecurity, Computing & Network Electronics) is a State-recognized Bac+2 diploma awarded by the French Ministry of National Education (UAI 0923177D). This versatile programme trains higher technicians for digital infrastructure careers: deployment, security and maintenance of computer networks and electronic systems.

Over 2 years, in work-study (apprenticeship) or full-time study at our Asnières-sur-Seine campus, students build dual expertise depending on the chosen option: Option A 'IT & Networks' (network administration, virtualization, cybersecurity) or Option B 'Electronics & Communications' (electronic design, IoT, telecom). 40 % of the curriculum is dedicated to hands-on workshops and real projects with partner companies.

Upon graduation, students enter the job market directly (92 % employment rate within 6 months) or continue with a Bachelor in cybersecurity, a 3rd-year specialization, or a Master in AI & Cybersecurity (also offered at Enerlab Academy).
