Need to boost your career? Need to acquire new skills? Opt for continuing education at the University of Guyana's DFPU!

The DFPU offers a wide range of training courses that contribute to "Lifelong Learning" and are tailored to the economic needs of French Guiana. The DFPU does not work alone, but as part of a network made up of institutions and associations covering the whole of French Guiana. It trains the future teachers, trainers, entrepreneurs and managers of tomorrow! To achieve this, the DFPU offers courses ranging from refresher courses (Bac) to Masters 2. Based in Cayenne, Saint Laurent du Maroni and Saint Georges de l'Oyapock, our evening courses are designed to enable people with professional and/or family responsibilities to resume and/or continue their studies through continuing education.

As proof of its commitment to quality, the DFPU has been awarded "FCU" (University Continuing Education) certification since 2019 and QUALIOPI certification since 2021.

The DFPU team is ready to welcome you, advise you and support you in your training programme so that it is best suited to your needs.
