Our vision,
your future

Charlotte CABANEL,
Directrice Pédagogique
ETPA Toulouse

Passion is the starting point and pugnacity the key word. From the moment they arrive until the end of their course, students evolve in an environment where determination, rigour and the need to express themselves prevail over everything else.

The student then opens up to the abundance of research, digs deep within himself while drawing on his own artistic and cultural references, which make him a singular ¨artistic¨ being. The students evolve in a structure that plays an active role in this process,

by remaining aware of one's environment and the realities of professional life. To grow, to assert one's choices, to blossom, to define one's art and to define oneself.

This is what students strive for when they enter etpa and what they achieve over the years. They realise that talent is expressed through hard work and perseverance.
