Admission (BTS)

Registration

Registrations are possible from mid-March 2025 until the 27th of June 2025 (1st session) or 23rd of September 2025 (second session) via the website https://enroll-bts.lgk.lu/

Admission exam

On-site attendance is required. Candidates may not take part in the examination remotely.

The admission examination consists of two parts.

  1. Practical part on the computer: questions on a technical document in English (Linux Introductory Online Course) and a test of basic knowledge of how to use a word processing software (MS Word or OpenOffice Writer of the candidate’s choice) and how to manipulate files using the Windows graphical interface. The questions will cover one or more sections of the online course. Access to the online course will be allowed during the examination. The aim is to check the candidate’s comprehension of English texts and his/her ability to learn by him/herself. We do not assume that the candidate must be an expert in the subject matter at this stage.
  2. Interview: Discussions to clarify the ambitions, motivations and pre-requisites (technical and language) of future candidates.
