ASphere offers professional work-study pathways to develop commercial, technical and strategic skills, with responsible uses of AI at the centre. In work-study (alternance, the French system alternating training and employment), the training is funded by the host company and its OPCO (the French employer-funded training bodies): the student does not pay for the training. Courses are delivered in French, in France or in a virtual classroom.
Apprenticeship training centre (CFA) registered under UAI no. 0573857H (Nancy-Metz academic district). This is the number to enter on the apprenticeship contract.

Coming soonLEVEL 7
This course prepares students to manage complex commercial relationships and to develop business in environments with a strong technical dimension. It will include a module dedicated to artificial intelligence to help students strengthen their sales effectiveness, from analysing needs to following up opportunities and building tailored proposals.
A work-study artificial intelligence course prepares a degree or a title listed in the RNCP (the French national register of professional qualifications), under an apprenticeship or professionalisation contract: the host company and its OPCO fund it. The pathways fall into three families, depending on the career targeted.
Design, develop and integrate AI applications and models: development, data, engineering.
At ASphere: “Concepteur développeur d’applications” (application designer and developer), title RNCP37873 at level 6 (3 to 4 years of higher education).
See the developer pathwaySell and develop business in technical environments, with AI as a working tool: preparation, qualification, follow-up.
At ASphere: “Négociateur technico-commercial” (technical sales negotiator), title RNCP39063 at level 5 (2 years of higher education).
See the sales pathwayIdentify useful uses of AI, build a roadmap and lead change in the company.
At ASphere: “Expert de la transformation des organisations par l’intelligence artificielle” (expert in the transformation of organisations through artificial intelligence), level 7, coming soon.
Be informed of the launchTo list them all, two public services: the national register of professional qualifications (RNCP) run by France compétences, where each title has its own record and level, and La bonne alternance, which lists work-study courses and the companies that are recruiting. Both are in French.
We do not publish a ranking of schools. Six points can be checked for any work-study AI course before signing; here is what we offer on each.
A title listed in the RNCP is recognised by the State, and its level places the qualification: level 5 for 2 years of higher education, level 6 for 3 to 4 years. Its record can be consulted on the France compétences website.
At ASphere: “Négociateur technico-commercial” (RNCP39063, level 5) and “Concepteur développeur d’applications” (RNCP37873, level 6); two level 7 pathways are opening soon.
In apprenticeship, the training is provided by an apprenticeship training centre (CFA), identified by a UAI number: this is the number carried over to the apprenticeship contract.
At ASphere: CFA registered under UAI no. 0573857H, in the Nancy-Metz academic district.
It is awarded after an audit by an accredited body, and it is the condition for the OPCO to fund the training.
At ASphere: certification for training activities and for the apprenticeship training centre (certificate CAP2373).
Work-study splits time between training and the company: ask how it is divided, and what is followed remotely.
At ASphere: flexible schedule, with part of the training delivered as e-learning.
No work-study without a company: it signs the contract and entrusts you with the assignments on which you learn the job.
At ASphere: admission on application; tell us in your application whether you already have a host company.
In work-study, the training is funded by the host company and its OPCO: check that nothing is left for you to pay.
At ASphere: the student does not pay for the training.
Work-study is one route. The right pathway depends on what you do today: student, developer in work, or jobseeker.
“Concepteur développeur d’applications” (application designer and developer): RNCP37873 title at level 6, to design, develop and maintain secure applications. The training is funded by the host company and its OPCO.
See the work-study pathwayFrom developer to AI Engineer: for developers in work who are aiming for AI Engineer or AI architect roles, with the PSC approach — performance, security, compliance.
See the AI Engineer pathwayEmployment goal: become an AI developer, notably through pathways funded by France Travail (the French public employment service) such as the POEI (a pre-hiring training scheme). These are French schemes, available under French rules.
See the AI developer pathwayDegrees and titles listed in the RNCP, prepared under an apprenticeship or professionalisation contract and funded by the host company and its OPCO. They fall into three families: technical careers (development, data, AI engineering), sales careers that use AI, and the transformation of organisations. The RNCP register run by France compétences and the public service La bonne alternance list them. At the ASphere CFA: “Concepteur développeur d’applications” (RNCP37873, level 6) and “Négociateur technico-commercial” (RNCP39063, level 5); two level 7 pathways are opening soon.
We do not publish a ranking: compare schools instead on six verifiable points. An RNCP-listed title and its level, a registered CFA with a UAI number, Qualiopi certification, a schedule compatible with the company, a host company, and funding by the OPCO. At ASphere: two open RNCP titles (levels 5 and 6), a CFA registered under UAI no. 0573857H, Qualiopi certification, a flexible schedule with part of the training as e-learning, admission on application, and the student does not pay for the training.
In work-study, the development pathway is “Concepteur développeur d’applications” (application designer and developer), RNCP37873 title at level 6, funded by the host company and its OPCO. Already a developer, or looking for a job? The pathways From developer to AI Engineer and Employment goal: become an AI developer, the latter notably through pathways funded by France Travail such as the POEI, are presented on the Technical profiles page.
