Happy Resort - Animation School

Valfréjus

A registered training organization, the "Happy Resort" school was created in 2012 in Modane Valfréjus to meet the needs of tourist offices in mountain resorts (Northern Alps), for the recruitment and training of resort animators.

Description

It is the only animation school in France to have been set up in the heart of a tourist resort, and it is the only one to enable some of its courses to test their theory against real holidaymakers in practical work.
In 2015, thanks to the success of previous years, the school was asked by mountain hotel clubs to train their instructors. The school took a new turn.
Then the school thinks bigger, and turns to the open-air hotel industry, from which several training courses come out in early 2017.
The school's instructors have a wide range of experience in the field of animation, and are themselves animators and animation managers in a variety of structures: tour operators, village-clubs, open-air hotels, mountain resorts, tourist offices, camps, and school instructors.
They bring unparalleled value to schools and tourist facilities.
Happy Resort is delighted to be supported, financed and accredited by the Rhône-Alpes region, Pôle Emploi and various institutions.
In 2018, it is the only school to offer training in bi-seasonal animation: winter and summer animator thanks to a 4-month paid and financed pre-training course in the resort and in season, followed directly by a pro contract in the open-air hotel industry. The entire training program (pre-training + professional contract) leads to a state-recognized level IV qualification.
