Habilitation to exercise project management in one's own name - HMONP

In order to become a registered architect - i.e. registered on the regional roll of the Order of Architects - the State Architect (ADE) must hold a licence to practise, known in France as the habilitation à l'exercice de la maîtrise d'œuvre en son nom propre (HMONP).

Admission

The HMONP is available:
  • either to holders of the state diploma of architect (or of a diploma or titles admitted in equivalence)
  • via the validation of acquired experience (VAE) procedure

Analysis of applications

ENSA Normandie only accepts 42 ADEs each year. Consequently, applications are analyzed by the HMONP Commission according to three criteria:

  1. Maturity of professional project and role of HMONP training in it,
  2. Coherence of pathway in relation to choice of MSP location,
  3. Motivation to complete HMONP at ENSAN.

The HMONP Commission is sovereign in its selection of candidates. Successful candidates are announced in September.

Postponement and re-registration :

ENSA Normandie offers you the possibility of a make-up jury in January of the following year. You can only defend only once at the January session of the following year. If you fail, you must repeat the course. If you don't take the exam in January, you'll have to start the course all over again.

No. The observations of the jury that requested the catch-up will serve as a framework for your supplement.

If you pass the theory courses (minimum average of 10/20 in seminar evaluations), your 30 ECTS are acquired, even if you fail the oral. However, if you take more than 3 years to re-enroll, you will be required to take all the courses again (without being assessed).

If you pass the theory courses (minimum average of 10/20 in seminar evaluations), your 30 ECTS are acquired. To re-enroll, you'll need to follow the same procedures as for a first-time MSP or VAE enrolment. The only difference is that you will not be assessed for the seminars.

If you have completed your theory courses at another ENSA and failed the exam, you must repeat the entire course. If you have validated your theory courses and can provide proof that you have obtained the corresponding ECTS credits, these will be acquired. However, as each ENSA course is specific, you will be required to attend all of them.

Objective

The objective of this training is to focus specifically on the exercise of project management and the professional responsibilities and skills associated with it.

Duration

It is carried out over a period of 12 months, consisting of 6 months of work experience (with a fixed salary), i.e. :

  • 150 hours of theoretical teaching at the Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie

Content

This course is carried out under the supervision of an ENSA Normandie teacher and a tutor in the host structure, with specific training sessions within the framework of the school, and the production of a reflective logbook, accompanied by a professional thesis.

It is organized by six workshops and five seminars at a rate of two to three days/month from October to May - structured around the following axes of reflection

  • The architect's responsibility
  • Regulations, standards and practices
  • The design process of the architectural project
  • Site management and monitoring techniques
  • The production process of the urban project

Two workshops allow to verify that the expectations of the training are being built. These five training sequences address, each in its own way, the questions related to the architect's responsibility, but in a specific way, taking care to respect a logic of progression in the training. To ask, at the end of the training, the question of the responsibility with regard to the economic stakes of the project also makes it possible to establish a bond with the setting in professional situation of the candidates.

 

The MSP begins after the protocol is signed. It takes place, subject to validation of prior learning, over the equivalent of at least 26 weeks, full-time, from October to June: it should be emphasized that the interaction - between the theoretical contributions of the school and the learning of professional practice (MSP) - is only made possible by the simultaneity of these two training modes.

Validation mode

It gives rise to a defense before a jury composed of teachers, a representative of the order and members of the professional community. This is compulsory for all those enrolled (VAP, candidates who were deferred the previous year, etc.).
