BTS in chemistry

The activities of this technician are carried out in laboratories associated with production or research and development:

• In control laboratories, the technician is responsible for testing the compliance of raw materials and manufactured products with specifications.
• In formulation production workshops, the technician must meet the customer's specifications but also be able to carry out expert appraisals and respond to customer complaints.
• In research and development laboratories, the technician works on the synthesis of new molecules or formulates innovative products in his/her production sector (cosmetics, paint, etc.). He/she carries out analyses of products under development, but is also capable of developing new analysis methods.

The course is organised into several skill modules, enabling step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical exercises and assessment sessions to promote hands-on, progressive learning.

BC01 – Study of synthesis and analysis protocols and professional case studies in formulation and analysis 

• Understanding technical specifications and operating procedures
• Identifying the characteristics and quality of the products to be used
• Drafting an experimental protocol
• Estimating the cost of manufacturing, synthesis, an analysis
• Calculate and express a result
• Analyse a result and compare it with the expected specifications

 BC02 – Professional laboratory activities 

• Preparation of equipment, products and experimental protocols
• Conducting experiments and carrying out first-level maintenance
• Applying quality, safety and environmental procedures
• Organisation of activities and stock management
• Traceability and improvement of protocols
• Teamwork and professional autonomy

 BC03 - Meeting specifications drawn up by the professional team 

• Researching and assimilating all information relating to the request, including safety data
• Researching information on regulatory and technological developments
• Expressing oneself, writing and communicating using various methods of communication
• Using various office software tools
• Adapting one’s communication style to different audiences

BC04 - Managing a project in a professional environment 

• Use technical English terminology in writing and speaking
• Take into account the various aspects of the company’s regulations and QHSSE policy
• Consistently take clients’ needs into account
• Adapt one’s working methods and behaviour to different professional situations and changing circumstances
• Uphold the company’s image, values and rules

Throughout the programme, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs. A placement with a company also enables participants to develop their professional skills in a real-world setting. Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course. Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real-world workplace.
