For few years now, we are regularly asked by some CEERRF students about Apprenticeship Training Contract.
This contract allows a student to follow courses in a Physiotherapy Accredited Training Institute (IFMK), and work at the same time for a healthcare institution. He becomes an “apprentice employee” who receives a salary and gets tuition fees covered by the employer.
Since June 2013, CEERRF entered into partnership with ADAFORSS CFA and proposes to its students 20 places in 2nd year, 20 places in 3rd year and 20 places in 4th year.
The apprentice shall work for his employer a number of years equal to the number of years funded.

Gary & Kevin, 2 news apprentices at Clinique de L’Estrée.
The institute wished to set up this system for three reasons
- his allows the student to follow courses, working at the same time for a healthcare institution, and have a first professional experience and become more professional, faster.
- It makes regional sector, subject to a shortage of recruitment, more attractive.
- It makes the student much more financially independent towards his family, banks and avoid odd jobs.
