Welcome to the Centre des Hautes Études de la construction
CHEC, or “Centre des Hautes Etudes de la Construction”, (Center of Higher Studies on Construction), is a postgraduate training center created in 1957 by the national professionnal organizations of French construction firms who have been managing it ever since.
The objective assigned to its educational staff of about 60 top level practicing civil engineers and technical managers of the major French construction firms of international standing, is to tranform students with an Engineering or a University degree, through a one academic year curriculum, into fully qualified (or “chartered” in the British sense) high level engineers, directly efficient and immediately able to take fuIl responsibility of a construction project.
Teaching is in French and CHEC students should be able to follow lectures and converse in that language. They can major either in concrete or in steel structures, by choosing between the two sections of CHEC :
- CHEM, or “Centre des Hautes Etudes du Béton Armé et Précontraint” (Center of higher studies on reinforced and prestressed concrete) ;
- CHEBAP, or “Centre des Hautes Etudes du Métal” (Center of higher studies on Metal) ;
- CHEB, or “Centre des Hautes Etudes du Bois” (Center of higher studies on wood),Mastère agreed by National Conceel of High Schools (CNGE) in partnership with the National School of Wood Industries and Technologies at Epinal (ENSTIB)
Successful completion of the one year postgraduate curriculum is officialized by the CHEC certificate bearing the signatures of both Presidents of the French National Federations of Building and of Civil Engineering.
CHEC is recognized by the French state as a postgraduate high level technical education center.
More than 3000 engineers have already followed the CHEC curriculum, with a large proportion of foreign students (20% in the last 40 years) representing more than 60 countries. CHEC is well know all over the world as a prestigious postgraduate civil engineering training center and there is a permanent high demand for CHEC alumni, who get positions of high responsibility in design offices and on construction sites, both in domestic and international work.

Le CHEC a été créé en 1957 par les Professionnels du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics.
Il a pour mission de former chaque année soit de jeunes universitaires ou Ingénieurs terminant leurs études, soit des Ingénieurs d'Entreprise désirant étendre leurs compétences.
A la suite de ce cycle de 10 mois, les diplômés sont immédiatement capables de prendre en charge la conception technique et l'exécution des ouvrages les plus élaborés, en France comme dans le monde.
