  • Florian R. "I passed a CAP in Bodywork Repair, which I chose to complete with a CAP in Bodywork Painter in one year. Finally, I even decided to take a Bac Réparation des Carrosseries. All as an apprentice! I found work straight away when I finished, and I'm now a business owner with two body shops."
