The teaching method is full online with e-learning lessons via an IT platform accessible 24 hours a day.
In order to obtain the final certificate, students must pass the multiple-choice exams required for each course and take a final exam that involves the participants creating a theater or cinema project for the school. Upon completion of the master, candidates will have developed their own project idea to propose. First and foremost, it will be useful to identify a school context around which to write the project. Secondly, depending on the nature of the project itself, whether it be cinema or theater, candidates can choose their supervisor among the teaching staff according to the specific field that most closely matches what they want to achieve. This means that, upon completion of the master's program, participants will already have a project to propose and therefore a concrete job opportunity.
