Our Institute is committed to a quality approach, covering both our programmes and our organisation. As a result, ISAE-SUPAERO has numerous labels, accreditations and certifications, demonstrating that our teaching and structures are adapted to the expectations of our future students and recruiters.
CTI Accreditation
"Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs" (Engineering Qualifications Commission)
Our Institute is accredited by the CTI :
- for our General Engineering course under student status: Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO (MSc),
- for our Industrial Engineering speciality under apprentice status: Ingénieur ISAE-SUPAERO by apprenticeship programme.
The title of engineer accredited by the CTI (Commission des titres d’ingénieurs) is a guarantee that the training will be of high quality and recognised by professionals.
The CTI is an independent body responsible for evaluating all French engineering schools (and foreign ones on request) with a view to their accreditation, developing the quality of training and promoting the title and profession of engineer in France and abroad.
EUR-ACE® label
"Commission des Titres d'Ingénieurs" (Engineering Qualifications Commission)
Our General Engineering programme meets the quality criteria of the specific EUR-ACE® Framework Standards & Guidelines (EAFSG).
This label, which is also awarded by the CTI, gives ISAE-SUPAERO international recognition: engineering courses with the EUR-ACE® label belong to schools that meet the highest standards. Once they have graduated, students on a EUR-ACE® accredited course are guaranteed to have a range of skills and knowledge in line with European academic and professional standards.
CGE accreditation
Conference of Grandes Écoles
Our Institute is accredited by the CGE for :
- our Advanced Master programmes: our Advanced Master programmes evolve each year in line with demand from companies. The strong involvement of professionals in our teaching and the requirement to carry out at least four months of work experience in a company during the course give our graduates the added value of a highly professional education;
- our 4DIGITAL label : this label enables the Grandes Écoles to recognise and promote their mastery of digital technology, particularly for teaching and distance learning, both in France and abroad.
HappyAtSchool® ranking (2025)
A rating of 3.79/5 for a campus where it’s good to study according to the HappyAtSchool® ranking (2025).
The HappyAtSchool® 2025 ranking highlights our Institute’s ability to offer a dynamic and fulfilling environment, where students benefit from solid academic support and harmonious integration into a committed community. For our Institute, this ranking is a key indicator of our attractiveness, in a context where the student experience plays a decisive role.
The HappyAtSchool® ranking is based on the direct evaluation of students and measures their well-being within higher education establishments.
It takes into account a number of key criteria, such as the quality of life on campus, the atmosphere, teaching support, infrastructure and career prospects.
Several of our programmes are accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and recognised at European level.
Afaq ISO 9001 certification
Our Institute is committed to ISO 9001 certification, an internationally recognised quality management standard.
AFNOR certifies that our management system complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
ISO 9001 helps organisations of all sizes in all sectors to improve their performance, meet customer expectations and demonstrate their commitment to quality.
QUALIOPI certification
Our Institute is QUALIOPI certified:
- for our programmes,
- for our initiatives to validate acquired experience.
Our Institute has obtained QUALIOPI certification for a period of 4 years, for our training activities and for our activities enabling people to have their acquired experience validated.
QUALIOPI is a unique quality certification issued by independent certifiers, enabling the use of public or mutualised funds. This certification is the mark of quality guarantee for PACs, providers of actions contributing to the development of skills within the framework of training actions, skills assessments, actions enabling the validation of acquired experience, and apprenticeship training actions.
"Bienvenue en France" label
Our school has been awarded the “Welcome to France” label at the three-star level (the highest). This label, awarded by Campus France, rewards the quality of the welcome given to international students.
It is awarded to French higher education establishments that have developed reception facilities for international students. It attests to the quality and accessibility of information, reception facilities, the range of courses on offer, teaching support, accommodation, the quality of campus life and post-graduate follow-up.
Our Institute is one of 153 establishments to have been awarded the “Welcome to France” label, and 22% have already been awarded the three-star label.
Certification "Qualité Français Langue Étrangère"
Our Institute is now the first Grande École in Toulouse to be awarded the FLE label.
The aim of the Label “Qualité Français Langue Étrangère” is to identify, recognize and promote French as a Foreign Language centres whose linguistic offer and services offer guarantees of quality.
ISAE-SUPAERO has been awarded this label with three stars (the maximum mark) in the five areas of the reference system: training / teachers / reception / management / premises and equipment, and for a renewable period of four years.
This certification enables us to gain recognition for our expertise in teaching French as a foreign language and also to send a message to our international partners that, in addition to scientific excellence, we want to guarantee them high-quality teaching in French as a foreign language and a high-quality welcome.
SD&RS Label
The Institute has been awarded the “Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility” (SD&CSR) label, official recognition of its environmental and corporate social responsibility strategy.
This distinction crowns several years of structuring initiatives in sustainable development and social responsibility.
The label, which has many levels of maturity, assesses the institutions’ approach in five main areas: governance, education, research, environmental management and social policy. This systemic analysis framework covers all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the UN.
