LYCEE PUBLIC MARITIME FLORENCE ARTHAUD

What LYCEE PUBLIC MARITIME FLORENCE ARTHAUD does

Lycée Public Maritime Florence Arthaud is a French public secondary education institution (Établissement Public Local d'Enseignement) located in Saint-Malo, Brittany, that delivers professional maritime training under the dual tutelage of the French State (DGAMPA and DIRM-NAMO) and the Conseil Régional de Bretagne. It is one of twelve maritime lycées federated under the Horizon Mer network, serving approximately 250 students per year across initial training, apprenticeship, and continuing education tracks.

The school offers a full curriculum spanning CAP (level 3) through BTSM (level 5), covering vessel navigation and command (BP CGEM, captain brevets), marine electromechanics (BP EMM, 250kW/750kW mechanic brevets), marine electro-technology (BTSM MASEN, ETO officer), aquaculture and marine cultures (BP CM, CAP Conchyliculture, BTSA Aquaculture), and STCW-compliant safety certifications (CFBS, FBLI, TIS). Practical training is supported by domain-specific infrastructure: full-scale navigation, radio, and machine simulators; a dedicated training vessel (Louis Fage); a high-voltage training cell; and an aquaculture farm in Cancale.

The institution operates on a public funding model — tuition is free for students, with revenue derived from state and regional allocations and apprentice tax contributions from employers. There is no commercial revenue. Distribution occurs through the national education pre-registration system (Pronote/Affelnet), direct website enrollment, and discovery mini-stages. The school is led by Director Hervé Mamino and is governed within its current establishment project (2022–2027) under the Qualycée quality framework, renewed in 2024.
