Obligations
What this law requires
Training providers delivering the BTS Electrotechnics must align the curriculum and competency mapping with the revised activity blocks and units: U4 preliminary design, U5 analysis/diagnostics/maintenance, U6 project/site management, U7 detailed project design, and U8 implementation and commissioning.
Exam organizers must evaluate only the competencies expressly assigned to each professional unit in the revised tables; other competencies may be mobilized for tasks but must not be separately assessed unless explicitly listed for that unit.
Institutions using continuous assessment must structure the English E2 assessment as two evaluation situations, with the second oral expression and interaction situation associated with the content of the student’s internship.
Exam centers must apply the revised exam formats, coefficients, and durations for BTS Electrotechnics, including U4 written exam of 4 hours, U5 practical exam of 4 hours where punctual assessment applies, U6 oral exam of 40 minutes where punctual assessment applies, and U7/U8 project-based practical assessments of 60 hours plus 40-minute oral where applicable.
Training and assessment activities for professional units U4 through U8 must be implemented in an authentic and contemporary professional context linked to the listed professional tasks for each unit.
