Training Catalog

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)

Training in the teaching of speleology and in the expertise of the underground world both on sporting and scientific aspects. The professional field includes the sector of training, education, leisure, tourism, environment, research and expertise, local authorities (educators, advisers of APS). The holder of the DEJEPS specialization speleology can supervise speleology independently or within any professional or federal structure.

The Environment, Energy & Risks department aims to train engineers capable of ensuring the development and quality of life of future generations while protecting our planet. It is divided into two options, Energy and Environment, and Natural and Industrial Risks.

The «Energy and Environment» option is dedicated to two major issues of society : the control of energy and the preservation of the environment. Students from this course will be able to imagine and propose intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to meet the expectations of reducing environmental impact and energy performance. Along with strong technical skills, they will demonstrate real leadership, communication and convincing skills. They can integrate large groups, Smes/Smis, engineering offices, communities as a Research Manager, Business Manager, Site Manager or Environment Manager. They are addressed to become, eventually, managers.

The engineer specializing in major risks relies on solid generalist training. This expert has a very good knowledge of major risks, of the modeling of their consequences, of their impacts on the territory and of the means of prevention and crisis management. He can evolve as well as a manager in the QHSE (Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Environment) direction of an industrial company or in a design and engineering office in risks (technological and natural risks) as in administration or the local collectives.

Access conditions : Preparation course, DUT, License, Master 1, APEL classes

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

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).

Place : Ardèche

Duration: 140 hrs (common core + 1 specialty),
210h (core course + 2 specialties)
Core : 2 blocks of skills of 5 days each

Specialties : 2 skill blocks of 5 days each per specialty

Frequency : Annual. Launch of the training in 2021. Possibility of doing it over 2 years (especially with the aim of following the 2 specialties)

Objectives : complete your knowledge of underground environments and learn how to use them to improve conservation, management practices and methods of developing underground environments and heritage.

Core curriculum : appropriating knowledge of underground environments and their links with the outside (environment, uses, development), becoming familiar with the issues of heritage value assessment, management and development, mediation of underground environments and karst landscapes.

Specialties :

• « Tourism, mediation and interpretation of underground and karst landscapes ».
• « Conservation and management of underground environments and heritage ».

Targeted audience :
Agents of structures managing protected natural areas or touristic caves, supervisors and sports monitors, consultants and design offices dealing with underground environments.

Terms of Access :
Bac + 2 or equivalent and / or experience in the field of caves and underground environments – APEPL possible for candidates holding the bac (ALevel).

The master offers tools for reflection and analysis on the methods of tourism in mountain areas and remarkable natural areas. Through questions relating to the environment, spatial planning and the tourism space, the master mobilizes innovative research while offering applied dimensions.

Access conditions : The M2 is open to candidates who have validated a 1st year of a national diploma conferring the master’s degree or a 1st year of a second cycle diploma approved by the State if it corresponds to the level of required studies as well as to candidates who benefit from a validation of acquired knowledge.

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.
