Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per week, per camp, per term, per year) are not comparable. Missing details (tuition, admissions, accommodation) never remove a verified listing. Training programs closed to the public are shown only when you ask for them. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.

About sport study and training in France

How sport study and coaching education are organised

Sport and exercise study in France is organised around STAPS (sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives): a three-year licence of 180 ECTS with tracks such as sports training, followed by two-year masters of 120 ECTS, including management and high-performance tracks. Master applications run through the national platform monmaster.gouv.fr, and teaching is mostly in French.
