The training course takes place in an active institution in the field of communicating history, in the public or private sector, in Belgium or abroad. It is carried out with a training course supervisor, preferably a historian by formation, affiliated with this institution. The training course comprises on average 180 hours during which the student is integrated into a professional environment.
In the absence of concrete insertion into a professional environment, under the direction of the academic training course supervisor, the student will analyze and/or complete a communication project in history - directed in a professional environment.

Content and teaching methods

With the training course supervisor's assistance, he defines one or more potential projects on communicating history, details the status of the question and proposes one or more scenarios answering the question.
Presenting the institution, together with its missions and services, and the project or projects developed by the student are the subject of a training course report.
