Training objectives :
1 To enhance the professionalisation of managers in the social and medico-social sector, Avignon University is offering a joint course, combining the CAFERUIS (Certificat d'aptitude aux fonctions d'encadrement et de responsable d'unité d'intervention sociale) and the Masters in Social Policy.
The cross-disciplinary approach built up between these two courses enables participants, subject to successful completion, to obtain CAFERUIS certification and validate the 1st year of the level 6 Masters in Social Policy. The course is designed to meet the professional development and qualification needs of managers and senior managers in the social and medico-social sectors. Responsible for a work unit or managing a small establishment, their role is to manage teams and/or perform cross-functional functions. They are an essential link in the organisation, guaranteeing the quality of service provided to users.
