ENSA Paris-la Villette and the CFA of the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM) are offering a new course starting in September 2025: the Bachelor CARE – Coordinating and Supporting Energy Renovation.

Structured as a progressive three-year course based on three areas of expertise: technical (architectural and energy), social and territorial, CARE prepares apprentices capable of :

  • Understand the local context, the challenges of energy renovation and the subsidies available;
  • provide advice and support to homeowners throughout the various stages of their energy renovation project;
  • evaluate, capitalize on and promote energy-efficient renovation through outreach and communication initiatives.

To present this new training program to companies, a webinar is being organized on April 30, 2025 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. It will be co-hosted by Anne D’Orazio, Director of ENSA Paris-la Villette, and Sandrine Roux, Head of Sales, Admissions and Corporate Relations at CFA CNAM.

This new diploma has been created as part of the HESAM2030 – Construisons nos métiers! project, winner of the second call for New University Curricula projects under the third Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir (PIA3) convention n°ANR 18 NCU 0028.

  • Acquire new skills: learn to build with straw!

    Since 2024, ENSA Paris-la Villette has regularly offered the Pro-Paille training course, which offers a comprehensive approach combining theory and practical exercises, enabling learners to master the principles and techniques in line with the professional rules for straw-bale construction (RPCP 2012) and apply them in construction or renovation projects.

    The RPCP 2012, drawn up by the Réseau Français de Construction en Paille, constitute the official and normative framework in France. They define best practices for the use of straw as structural insulation and plaster support.

    This continuing education course is aimed at all design, engineering and construction professionals wishing to acquire the skills needed to enter this market, as well as project owners and technical departments wishing to commission and maintain buildings (local authorities, landlords, developers).
    No prior knowledge is required.

    The next Pro-Paille training course, for a maximum of 15 people, will take place from September 14 to 18, 2026.
