- the training is not recommended for holders of a technological baccalaureate; they generally have more difficulty adapting,
- the course is strongly discouraged for holders of a vocational baccalaureate; their success rate is practically zero and the dropout rate is very high,
- finally, it is recommended to have studied law to enter the second or third year of the licence. Otherwise, the failure rate is very high.
