Prépa Saint Germain

The key to unlocking senior public service positions

A higher education establishment focused on international relations and political science cannot afford to ignore a vital French feature: Civil Service competitive entrance exams, particularly those used to fill senior public service positions. HEIP is the “Prépa Saint-Germain”’s exclusive partner and also works with INSEEC U’s political science and international relations faculty.

Prepa Saint Germain M2 Management of public affairs and institutions

For two years the Prépa Saint Germain, managed by Eric Cobast, has been offering an original preparation course for the ENA competitive entrance exam, blending on-line distance learning courses and classroom modules in small groups. The teaching expertise is unique: all the teaching staff are recent ENA graduates lecturing in their own field. 25 past papers/mock papers are done and corrected during the session.  The method has proved its worth: out of 40 successful candidates in the ENA’s 2017 competitive recruitment exam, 10 had been prepared by the Prépa Saint-Germain.
