Bonjour Ptitange,
Je ne te parlerai pas de mon cas personnel mais celui de ma fille. C'était en 2000-2001, nous habitions au Liban, elle préparait un BEES 1er degré par le CNED. Il faut être très motivé, strict, et rigoureux pour réussir des examens préparés à distance, si tu as ces qualités, il n'y a pas de problème. Les résultats et commentaires revenaient environ 6 semaines plus tard, parfois un peu tard pour ne pas faire les mêmes erreurs. Ma fille a échoué les épreuves, elle est rentré en France finir ses études avec réussite.En France, un BTSen alternance est difficile et encore plus en alternance, mais rien n'est impossible quand on a la volonté et surtout de la rigueur. Bon courage à toi et bonne réussite. kris

le CNED est chapeauté par le Ministère de l'Education Nationale, cursus, de voirs, corrections de devoirs, annotations, conseils, suivis, tout cela par des professeurs certifiés dans la matière concernées, c'est excellent ! on y préparent aussi tous les concours administratifs, ainsi que le CAPES, licence ...
la seule difficulté c'est pour l'élève ou l'aspirant, se tenir scrupuleusement au programme, à son déroulement et au calendrier (remises des devoirs) ce qui parfois n'est pas tjours facile hors système scolaire (obligation d'être chaque jour en cours) mais je me répète c'est excellent
aujourd'hui le CNED offre de nouveaux outils pour les apprentissages comme le Net
(avis d'un prof : moi-même de retour en France après avoir enseigné à l'étranger, j'ai préparé le Capès avec le CNED, résultat : reçue !!)
bon courage et si tu veux d'autres infos ou encouragement je suis dispo !
ps. j'ai oublié de te dire que ss doute pour cette formation, en situation normale, cad scolarisation, des stages sont prévus, informe-toi .

Bonsoir!
Merci beaucoup pour vos deux réponses...🙂🙂 En effet je me suis renseignée pour les stages et il est préférable de les faire en France ce qui, personnellement ne me pose pas de problèmes. Par contre je me demande aussi, si sur mon CV, d'avoir suivi deux ans de BTS avec le CNED ne me sera pas défavorable face a une autre personne qui elle l'aura suivi dans une école... Je me suis renseignée par curiosité aussi s'il est possible de le faire en alternance avec le CNED... Et je n'ai pas de réponse, ils se sont posés la même question que moi, apparemment oui mais à l'étranger c'est compliqué à moins d'avoir la même méthode qu'en France... Je suis actuellement en attente d'une réponse dans une école qui le fait par alternance... Je cherche les différentes possibilités de faire ce BTS et j'espère trouver celle qui me conviendra... Je ne me ferme pas l'idée du CNED mais cela me semble difficile... Je vais voir en fonction de mes recherches... Encore merci et @bientot 😉

le CNED c'est l'Education Nationale ! les cours par correspondance sont destinés à ceux qui ne peuvent suivre des cours normalement : expatriation à l'étranger, vie professionnelle, maladie ...
pour suivre les cours de BTS il faut être en possession du baccalauréat
téléphone au Rectorat dont tu dépends (ton adresse, la ville où tu habites) ils te diront où t'adresser, si tu me donnes plus d'infos, je peux t'aider davantage : je téléphonerai moi-même au Rectorat pour en savoir davantage et je te ferai part des infos
non, aucun problème sur ton CV puisque je te le répète le CNED c'est l'Education Nationale, tu vas passer le BTS avec tous les autres étudiants, ceux du CNED et ceux qui ont fréquenté les écoles préparant au BTS ou l'enseignement privé et l'enseignement public
au contraire, cela est apprécié sur un CV car, on sait que cela demande du courage, de la volonté, de l'organisation et surtout de la motivation : donc c'est un plus, car tu démontres ainsi que tu as les qualités que l'on attend d'une bonne professionnelle !!

Bonjour,
Moi j'ai suivi mes etudes de BTS Tourisme et Loisirs depuis Londres avec le CNED. Mes parents envoyaient le colis a mon adresse mais il me semble que l'ecole peut aussi le faire directement. Je travaillais a temps plein a coté, pas toujours evident mais si on a de l'ambition et envie de reussir pas de problemes. Parfois il y avait beaucoup de devoirs a remplir, mais si tu sens que tu ne pourras pas tous les faire d'ici la fin de l'annee du a ton emploi qui te prend trop de temps, il te suffit de les appeler et ils t'envoient une liste plus courte des devoirs a faire en priorité. Moi ca m'a bien aidé car je n'aurais pas pu tout faire. J'ai obtenu mon BTS du 1er coup et j'ai eu beaucoup moins de mal que certaines personnes qui suivaient les cours a l'ecole. Le taux de reussite etait assez bas cette annee la ce qui prouve que ce n'est pas difficile de le preparer a distance.
Bonne chance et n'hesite pas a me contacter si tu as besoin d'autres conseils.
J'ai obtenu un poste en agence de voyage un mois apres avoir obtenu mon BTS. Je l'avais aussi completé par une formation de British Airways (Bien cool)

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi,
I'm 17.
I'd like to find a site that offers a total immersion with a family between Vancouver and Calgary for 4 weeks this summer. Not specifically with a teacher at home because it's very expensive on the sites I've already checked, nor with classes at a school or activities with other foreigners since the immersion isn't enough.
Thanks for your help.
Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
