This short course is designed to raise awareness among professionals who have already invested in the subject, so there are no pre-requisites. It is a hybrid course: webinars with international experts are run on a weekly basis under the aegis of a local educational coordinator. Participants carry out group work which is presented at the end of the course.

Distance learning, which can be delivered synchronously (by opening a session on a training platform) or asynchronously. The course videos are supplemented by teaching summaries, testimonial videos, documentary references, quizzes and discussion sessions with experts in the form of webinars as part of synchronous training systems. Since 2022, the course videos have been available with English subtitles, and the teaching summaries and bibliographical references are also available in English.

Face-to-face teaching alternates between lectures given by teachers and experts at the Ecole Africaine des Métiers de l'Architecture et de l'Urbanisme in Lomé, and exercises and simulations. Field trips may be planned, and a work placement must be completed during the course, leading to the writing of a dissertation.
