Accessibility for People with Disabilities
People with disabilities may have specific needs in order to follow our programmes.
If a learner has declared that he or she has a disability, the ISAE-SUPAERO Disability Advisor will consider the student's disability and his or her needs in terms of compensation (teaching resources, equipment, techniques, human resources, etc.). This person mobilises the expertise, tools, and networks needed to provide access to premises and resources, as well as to facilitate preparation for certification and assessment tests.
Don't hesitate to contact our Disability Advisor, who offers individualised and confidential support to the students concerned and coordinates the adjustments needed, in coordination with the teaching teams, to ensure that the course runs smoothly.
