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)
- or via the procedure for validating acquired experience (VAE)
Analysis of applications
ENSA Normandie only accepts 42 ADEs each year. Consequently, applications are analyzed by the HMONP Commission according to three criteria:
- Maturity of professional project and role of HMONP training in it,
- Coherence of pathway in relation to choice of MSP location,
- Motivation to complete HMONP at ENSAN.
The HMONP Commission is sovereign in its selection of candidates. Successful candidates are announced in September.

- 2023/24 For ADE trainees: Registration fee €630
- 2023/24 For ADEs presenting the defense only: €35
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
- 26 weeks full-time, minimum work experience
For applicants registered by VAP, ENSA Normandie may authorise a reduction in training: either the ADE is exempted from the work placement and/or all or part of the theoretical courses.
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.
Theoretical training
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.
Workplace situations
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.).
