History

Epitech was created in 1999, taking advantage of the keen interest of the École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées to train students with a specific interest for computer sciences related matter only. The institution is part of IONIS Education Group.

In 2007, Epitech opened new campuses in Casablanca, Dalian, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Strasbourg and Toulouse. Since January 2008, the degree delivered has been recognized by the Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle,[10] as level 1.[14] In 2008, the campuses of Nice, Montpellier, Nancy, Marseille and Rennes were opened. Since 2009, the school has been recognized by the French State.[4]

New campuses abroad

Partnership

EPITECH has partnered with the Zup de Co association to create the Web@cademie, a 2-year training completely free for students without the French Baccalaureate and with a strong motivation in computer science.[16] This course has the goal to attain a job of software developer for young people who have stopped their regular studies.[17] They are trained by EPITECH teachers at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre[18] and in Lyon.[19]

EPITECH delivers an "Expert of Information Technologies" certification.[20] The certification is recognized by French CNCP.[21]
