The diplôme d’Etat supérieur de la jeunesse, de l’éducation populaire et du sport (Higher State Diploma in Youth, Popular Education and Sport) is awarded for the “sports performance” speciality or the “socio-educational or cultural activities” speciality and for a subject, multi-discipline or field-specific speciality. In the case of a multi-disciplinary specialisation, it may be awarded for an option.
After receiving the opinion of the “sport and entertainment” professional advisory committee, each specialisation is created under the conditions set out in article R. 6113-21 of the Labour Code:
either by an order of the minister responsible for sport;
– or by an order of the ministers responsible for youth and sport;
-or, in the case of the joint creation of a specialisation, by an order of the ministers concerned.
These orders define the professional reference framework and the certification reference framework, the composition of which is set out in article D. 212-53. They may lay down equivalence or exemption measures.
