Objectives
The job of adult trainer involves designing and running training programmes for a wide range of people, including jobseekers, employees and people undergoing professional retraining. The role of the adult trainer is to pass on knowledge, skills and interpersonal skills, with the aim of encouraging the professionalisation, qualification and integration or job retention of the people they support. They must be able to adapt to different audiences, create effective teaching materials and evaluate the results of their training activities. This profession is constantly evolving, with new training needs emerging all the time. Training organisations and companies have a growing need for highly qualified trainers, able to pass on not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills and professional attitudes. Our DUFA (Diplôme Universitaire de Formateurs d'Adultes) course enables you to meet this demand by providing you with a rigorous teaching framework and effective tools.

Further studies
Once you have obtained a University Diploma in Adult Training, there are a number of ways in which you can continue your studies and take up a position in the professional world.
Here are a few examples:
- Licence professionnelle (vocational degree): Following a DU in adult education, a licence professionnelle (vocational degree) can be an interesting option for those wishing to deepen their skills in a specific field, while acquiring knowledge in pedagogy and training. Professional bachelor's degrees often focus on specific professions and sectors of activity, and can therefore offer practical experience and know-how. The Licence professionnelle Métiers de la GRH : formation compétences et emplois -Parcours Ingénierie, conseil et animation de formation offered at Avignon Université is a relevant extension for DUFA students.
- Level 6 diploma: A level 5 DU in Adult Education can also be a stepping stone towards a level 6 State Diploma or University Diploma in vocational training. These diplomas can be used for jobs such as training consultant, training manager or training centre director. The DU Responsable de Formation offered by Avignon Université is particularly interesting for DUFA students looking for a high-level professional qualification.
- Continuing education: The DUFA provides a solid foundation for access to professional training in the field. Adult trainers can then continue to develop their skills throughout their career by attending further training courses, professional development workshops, conferences and so on. These initiatives enable them to keep abreast of trends and advances in their field, and to develop their professional skills.
