Specialised courses
The INP’s continuing professional development programme offers courses on specific topics, designed as long-term programmes or in partnership with other organisations, to meet specific needs in terms of professional development or international cooperation.
For professionals in management roles within institutions or cross-functional departments, and those expected to take on management responsibilities, the INP has created a dedicated programme comprising eight modules, totalling 21 days over an academic year running from September of year N to June of year N+1, with a closing day and inter-cohort professional exchange session in September of year N+1. Admission to this training programme is by application only. Applications are open from mid-February to mid-May of year N. The management programme is fee-paying and no exemptions are available.
The International Technical Archives Training Course (STIA) is a training programme established by the Archives de France in 1951 and run by the INP since 2019.
This training programme, delivered in French, is aimed at foreign archives professionals. It is offered in partnership with the Interministerial Archives Service of France, the National Archives and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
Introducing the team
The continuing professional development team at the National Heritage Institute is led by Alice Desprat, Deputy Director of Studies for the Department of Restorers and a heritage restorer, and by Rachel Suteau, Deputy Director of Studies for the Department of Curators and Chief Heritage Curator.

The continuing professional development team is supported by project officers:

Certifications
Vocational training at the Institute is also based on recognised quality standards, which serve as a guarantee of professionalism and reliability for both trainees and partners. The Qualiopi certification thus attests to the quality of the processes implemented for skills development: it guarantees the clarity of the information provided, the relevance of the teaching content, the qualifications of the trainers, and the monitoring and evaluation of the training courses. Furthermore, the Institute’s Datadock accreditation confirms the organisation’s compliance with the criteria defined by the funding bodies for vocational training.
Together, these accreditations demonstrate a constant commitment to excellence, transparency and the continuous improvement of the training programmes on offer.
Training venues
The courses listed in the catalogue are mainly held in Paris, set against the backdrop of an exceptional heritage environment, and in Aubervilliers, in a centre dedicated to the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage.
To promote access to training throughout the country, the INP also organises regional sessions in partnership with local institutions.
