>What's the UK equivalent to Lambda School? The French equivalent?
France has *tons* of vocational dev training, through a variety of systems. They are mostly split between :
- Public technical schools (ran by the state) that deliver degrees with ECTS credits (pan-European degree system) over 2/3 years.
- Technical training schools, mostly private, that deliver titles validated by the Ministry of Work. ie. industry certifications only valid domestically. Over 6/12 months.
French engineering schools are a completely different beast and would be considered part of the university system in the US. They issue masters degrees over 5 years valid pretty much everywhere and the title of Engineer (it's illegal in France to call yourself an engineer without it !).
