Intended to train management assistants, the BTS SAM is a versatile training with a very apparent professional aspect.
This course is very popular because of its rich program, which we present to you today.
#1 General Culture and Expression
This subject aims to develop the candidate’s ability to synthesize and write as well as his general culture.
To become a management assistant, you must have a very sharp mind. In addition, it is important to have good writing skills and a good general culture.
The “General Culture and Expression” subject, taught in the framework of a BTS SAM (ex-BTS Assistant Manager), allows you to develop these skills.
Classes are organized around debates and reading activities. The goal is for you to learn to debate current events and develop your communication skills.
#2 Modern languages
This module is about developing your mastery of the foreign languages you have already studied in high school. Of course, the emphasis is on professional vocabulary, which will enable you to communicate with foreign executives or even to go abroad. Modern language courses are important because they allow you to :
