* Photocopies of followed courses

It is of course necessary to complete this file with the other documents requested by the institutions in which the applications are submitted.

Pass the MBA entrance tests

To enter an MBA, a minimum score must be obtained at GMAT and TOEFL or TOEIC. The scores to be achieved are notified on the application file of the institutions.

To pass these tests, certain skills are necessary such as: a good general knowledge, solid knowledge in mathematics, writing skills and a good level of English.

To train, candidates can:

* Invest in preparation manuals: available in bookstores or online.

* Train online at www.mba.com/global (the official GMAT website), www.ets.org/toefl and www.ets.org/toeic.

* Enroll in a training preparing for the desired test.

Preparation for successful MBA interview

A first selection is made from the sent folders. To complete this selection, candidates still in the running are invited to an interview during which it is, once again, essential to distinguish themselves.

For that it is necessary to:

* Have a real professional project.

* Know the benefits of an MBA.

* Know how to organize during training: family, employment...

* Have thought about funding the MBA.

* Know about the institutions that received the applications.

The interview is the key to accepting a candidate

It is not necessary to show that one is the best, but it is essential to prove that one has things to learn and to give.

The candidates of a promotion are chosen according to their personality and what they will bring to the training. To highlight his career and his different experiences is therefore essential.
