hello guys,

i am kinda lost here,
my main goal is to work in europe after my studies
i have 4 years of experience as operations manager in transportation services in fact it s a family business we provide services for schools,hotels,summer camps,conferences.... and before was the managing partner in a restaurant...
i am interested in Cnam paris coz of its good reputation and its location as the grenoble for its ranking but not much convinced though although it has more accreditations
so anyone can help me out here on how to make up my mind?

How is your French? Read Do you need to speak the local language? www.find-mba.com/board/34713

Where does Cnam has a good reputation? Honestly, I never heard anyone say that. It's accredited, but the school is very modest with no real network or brand power.

my french is very good...
i heard it is a good uni in france not one of the top but it can be helpful for finding a job there and tuition fees is exactly in my range.if i am wrong please let me know and what do advice me for unis in france? i kind of the top unis are out of my league frankly
thank you

Perhaps you are thinking of Arts & Metier ParisTech? That's not Cnam. Cnam is like a British or Singaporean polytechnic: it's one of Europe's largest providers of lifelong learning, with over 100,000 students. It's certainly not a school that's known for being selective, have a strong alumni network, or even for running full-time courses or providing career services

PS Take a look at my articles France: Top 20 Grande ecoles masters ranking www.find-mba.com/board/31232 and French b-school ranking from Challenges www.find-mba.com/board/23297

no i mean Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers - International Institute of Management (CNAM IIM) is that the same CNAM that you are telling about?
What do you think about the mba program at paris school of business?

Yes, that's the same Cnam I am describing.

I really think you'd be better off aiming at one of the top 20 grande ecole than going to the Paris School of Business: it's not bad for pre-experience, but it cannot compete with the top schools.

okey thanks a lot duncan for your help

CNAM is not a business school. It aims only at making money and money again. They do not care about the quality. The teaching consultants have very often a very low level of English and sometimes are not competent in the domain they are "teaching". During the interview they lie to students in order for them to apply and to make a deposit, and since the deposit is given they become rude and careless. The French courses are horrible, the vocabulary taught has nothing to do with the business world it is a loss of time. At the end of the day this education that had seemed to be at an affordable price, seems after very expensive for what it offers.
