Training Catalog

Under the responsibility of a competent person, you can explore a cavity or a cliff on simple obstacles.

Targeted skills :
Name, position and adjust the individual equipment necessary to progress underground. Progress on varied situations (climbing, de-climbing). Identify a handrail and know how to move safely on it. Move on ropes when climbing and descending : identify a wellhead, put my descender and descend a small vertical, stop on a rope with a descender, cross a deviation on both the descent and the climb, cross a simple splitting on the descent as on the climb. Manage my emotions related to progress techniques. Respect the environment in which I progress.

Targeted audience :
Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, students, higher education teachers, researchers, technicians from design offices.

Terms of Access :
Sports practice desired

The DESJEPS attests to a qualification for the exercise of a professional activity of technical expertise and management in the various fields of speleology. It is part of the guidelines of development of outdoor sports carried by the supervisory bodies (Ministry of Sports, Environment, National Education) which take into account educational aspects, access to practice areas, knowledge sharing, multi activity, socio-economic and environmental impacts.

You need to take a compulsory test prior to the training, APEL (excepted UC4)

This training approaches the knowledge of underground environment and topography. The environment teammate is made of :

• a module about the legal environment knowledge about the practice of speleology in a protected natural area with the meeting of a partner network
• a fieldwork aiming at the documentation of a cavity and its heritage assessment. This works leans on knowledges in the areas of topography, karstology, geology, biospeleology, climatology, etc…

At the end of this training, you will be able to implement development, maintenance, protection, enhancement and promotion projects for natural areas. You will be able to mediate and lead a policy for the management, planning and development of recreational areas while mastering the understanding of territorial issues by acquiring the methods and tools of territorial engineering (diagnostic of territory, project management, strategic support, GIS, cartography, survey).

The WISE International Masters course (Water sciences and management in a

Changing World) is aimed at foreign students, particularly targeting countries in the South, to train technical executives in water resource management. Resulting from the collaboration between IMT Mines Alès, the University of Montpellier (Faculty of Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy) Agroparistech and Supagro, this training will provide from 2021 for the first year and 2022 for the second year of English lessons focused around integrated water management issues.

In the areas of hydroclimatic risks, deep water, drinking water and sanitation, irrigation and wetland ecosystems, this course will also provide students with all the organizational, technical and linguistic tools to develop in-depth skills, facilitating their integration into the job market. Supported by a desire for mutualisation between the training provided by the various actors, the pedagogy implemented will be innovative, focused on learning by experience with a large volume of land and projects, supplemented by internships in companies or in laboratory.

Access conditions : BA

Professional BA aimed at training in the development of territory or sector projects within medium mountain areas in which agriculture and tourism constitute the two major economic activities.

These courses are modules which aim to complete the technical training of the speleologist. Many scientific themes, documentation techniques can be proposed among which we can find : Photography/ Karstology/ Hydrogeology/ Biospeleology/ Topography/ Underground markup/ Archeology.

These modules are open to all curious speleologists and do not require any particular physical or technical commitment.

Location : Bourgogne-Franche-Comté/ Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes/ Provence-AlpesCôte-D’azur/ Occitanie/ Nouvelle Aquitaine

Access conditions : FSF Member

Training aimed at professionalizing those involved in guiding in touristic, cultural and heritage sites by acquiring tools and methods of mediation, as well as those involved in interpretation and museography. It gives access to the professional licence, necessary to guide in the museums of France, the national monuments and the Cities and Countries of Art and History.
