Lycée des Métiers La Morlette

What Lycée des Métiers La Morlette does

Lycée des Métiers La Morlette is a French public vocational secondary school (lycée professionnel) founded circa 1975 and located in Cenon, Gironde, in the Bordeaux metropolitan area. It is operated under the authority of the French Ministry of Education (Éducation nationale) and supervised by the Académie de Bordeaux, with co-funding from the Conseil Régional de Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The institution delivers free state-recognized vocational training from CAP through BTS levels across three primary sectors: beauty and wellness (esthetics, cosmetics, perfumery, and hairdressing), social care (elderly care, childcare animation, nursing assistance via IFAS Cenon), and administrative management (Bac Pro AGORA). The school operates on-site pedagogical facilities — an Institut de Beauté Pédagogique and a Salon de Coiffure Pédagogique — that are open to the public for student-supervised treatments, and an internat (boarding facility) for student accommodation.

The school's product portfolio comprises roughly 14 distinct programs, including BTS Métiers de l'Esthétique-Cosmétique-Parfumerie, BTS Métiers de la Coiffure, Bac Pro Esthétique Cosmétique Parfumerie, Bac Pro Métiers de la Coiffure, Bac Pro ASSP, Bac Pro AEPA, Bac Pro AGORA, CAP Coiffure, CAP AAGA, the D.E. Aide Soignant(e), and two specialization certificates (CS Coiffure Coupe Couleur and CS Aide à Domicile) delivered via apprenticeship. International offerings include European sections (Section Euro Anglais) in the Esthétique and Coiffure Bac Pro tracks, with student exchanges (notably to England) and Erasmus E3D sustainability certification. Support services include ULIS (Units for Inclusive Learning), PAPS (school perseverance program), and the AQUITAPRO apprenticeship section. Admissions are routed exclusively through AFFELNET, the centralized French national enrollment platform, eliminating direct-to-consumer recruitment; the school supplements this with open days (Journées Portes Ouvertes) and participation in the Salon de l'Étudiant at Bordeaux Lac.

The business model is government-funded, not commercial. The school charges no tuition (explicitly described as a 'gratuit' public establishment) and is financed through state education budgets, regional council funding, the apprenticeship tax (Taxe d'Apprentissage), and minor public-client revenue from the pedagogical salon and beauty institute. Student competition results (national finals in Meilleur Apprenti de France 2024, Concours Général des Métiers, and the L'Oréal Young Talents inter-academic final in 2025) provide brand credibility. Recent strategic activity includes a June 2025 partnership with SupMode fashion school for event styling, the 2024 launch of IFAS Cenon nursing assistant training, and ongoing apprenticeship program expansion via AQUITAPRO. The institution is led by Proviseure (Principal) Cécile Collet.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Pigier: Established French private education group offering BTS, Bac Pro, and vocational programs across beauty, business, and administrative tracks. Comparable as a broader private alternative that competes for the same BTS-level students in Esthétique and AGORA-type administrative programs, but across many more cities and specialties.
• AFTRAL: France's leading private training organization, with a broad portfolio of vocational certifications including care services and administrative tracks. Comparable as a larger-scale private vocational training competitor operating apprenticeship programs that overlap with the school's AQUITAPRO offering.

Direct peers

• École Terrade: One of France's largest private networks of beauty, hairdressing, and aesthetics schools with multiple campuses. Directly comparable because it delivers the same CAP, Bac Pro, and BTS-level vocational qualifications in coiffure and esthétique that Lycée La Morlette offers, competing for the same regional applicant pool in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
• École de Coiffure Internationale (Ecole IFC): Private French hairdressing school offering CAP Coiffure and related specializations. Comparable as a private-sector competitor focused specifically on the hairdressing curriculum (CS Coiffure Coupe Couleur, CAP Coiffure) that forms one of La Morlette's core verticals.
• IFAS Network (Institut de Formation Aide-Soignant): National network of public nursing-assistant training institutes that host the D.E. Aide-Soignant(e) program — the same diploma delivered via IFAS CENON on the La Morlette campus. Directly comparable as competing public providers for the same caregiving qualification in the same regional labor market.

Others

• L'Oréal Professionnel Academy: L'Oréal's industry-led training arm for professional hairdressers and beauticians. Comparable as a complementary training channel for the same beauty/hairdressing workforce the school trains, and a likely destination for the school's graduates seeking ongoing brand-specific certification.

Regional players

• GRETA Bordeaux Aquitaine: Public continuing-education network in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offering adult vocational training. Lycée La Morlette is already a partner hosting IFAS within GRETA Bordeaux; comparable as the public-sector continuing-education channel competing for the same adult learner and apprenticeship population.
• Lycée des Métiers de Toulouse (and similar regional lycées professionnels): Other French public vocational lycées (e.g., the Lycée des Métiers network in nearby Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie cities) offering overlapping CAP, Bac Pro, and BTS programs in coiffure, esthétique, and care services. Comparable public-sector peers competing for AFFELNET-routed applicants in adjacent geographies.
