ECV is above all an ambition shared by all those who are committed to successfully train the students to the industries of creation and visual communication. The qualities of a school are assessed through what its young graduates become. They are also assessed through the acknowledgement of the diploma obtained, the degree given by ECV being recognised as a level 1 certification by the French National Registry of Professional Certifications. ECV gives its students a wide approach to creation, as well as a borderless training. Today, a professional career has to be built on an international scale.”
