Lycée Charles et Adrien Dupuy

The lycée Charles et Adrien Dupuy is a public institution offering general and technical education, located in Le Puy-en-Velay, in Haute-Loire (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). Beyond its secondary programs, it hosts a higher education division dedicated to audiovisual professions, making it one of the public entry points into these fields in the region.

Audiovisual programs

The institution offers the BTS Métiers de l'audiovisuel in several options:

• Métiers de l'image: framing, lighting, camera work, color grading, and image culture;
• Gestion de la production: preparation, budgeting, scheduling, law, and organization of shoots;
• Techniques d'ingénierie et exploitation des équipements: implementation and maintenance of technical systems, capture, broadcasting, networks, and video flows.

These curricula combine technical instruction, hands-on studio and shooting practice, audiovisual culture, and general subjects (business economics, applied physical sciences, professional English). They include internship periods in companies and collective projects that replicate the working conditions of a production team.

Profile and career paths

Admission is through Parcoursup, mainly after a general, technical (particularly STI2D), or suitable vocational baccalauréat. Graduates move into professional employment (production companies, television, technical services, events) or continue their studies: licences professionnelles, specialized schools, licences in performing arts or cinema.

As this is a public lycée, tuition fees remain limited to registration fees and material costs, making it an alternative to private film schools.
