    About Master in Centre de Préparation aux Concours Administratifs (CPCA)

    The Centre de Préparation aux Concours Administratifs (CPCA) is a hub for students with diverse academic backgrounds preparing for administrative careers in public service, focusing on competitions like IRA, Attaché territorial, and public finances. It integrates weekly training to simulate real exam conditions and provides access to key information about competitions, including past papers and top-performing copies.

    The CPCA's approach involves tailored teachings that align with the common curriculum of major administrative exams, covering subjects such as general culture, essay writing, public law, social law, and general economics.

    In addition to these structured courses, the CPCA offers a flexible, 'à la carte' preparation, where students select specific subjects relevant to their needs, though this pathway does not lead to a diploma. The CPCA also offers a Licence Administration Publique (LAP)—a three-year bachelor's degree—and a Diplôme Universitaire (DU) in Public Service Concours for those seeking a more formal qualification.
