intuit.lab is a design and visual communication school founded in 2001 by Patrick Felices, after 15 years of experience in design and teaching. Its aim is to produce high-quality graduates whose profiles meet the specific needs of the graphic design and visual communication sectors in France and across the world.
To date, 510 students have successfully completed courses at the school, whose work placement office has built solid relationships with over 800 companies in France and abroad.
école.intuit.lab's excellent success rate in finding work placements for its students means it sets a benchmark in providing vocational training for the visual communication sector.
The school's graduates are awarded the nationally-recognized French title of "Visual Communications Designer" [Concepteur en communication visuelle], classified as a Level II qualification by the French Professional Certification Commission (Commission Nationale de la Certification Professionnelle - CNCP).
In the light of the success of the initial venture, a second school opened in Aix-en-Provence in 2006.
The syllabus is divided up into three separate, but complementary phases: a one-year fundamental course for school-leavers wishing to apply to fine art schools or pursue university-level studies at the school, a three-year degree course, and a one-year "part-time" Master's degree.
Our passionate and committed teaching staff, expert in applied arts from the most prestigious design and visual communication agencies, works tirelessly to develop rich and comprehensive course content for our students.
The intuit.lab spirit
intuit...
Intuition: The faculty of being able to anticipate or guess, an immediate perception of the truth without recourse to the faculty of reason.
intuit.lab, is above all a state of mind. Distancing ourselves from the effects of fashion and the fad of the moment, our schools seek to encourage its students to develop strong and adaptable creative personalities, by providing them with rigorous teaching, giving them a firm grasp of the fundamental principles of design and visual creation and offering a relevant critical, analytical and synthetic methodological approach.
Quality and open-mindedness are our watchwords.
The aim is to learn a methodology which will be of use in all areas of design and visual communications.

Laboratory: Any place where a team works in the fields of invention, creation or research.
The vocation of intuit.lab: To act as a permanent, living laboratory for thinking up and producing creative solutions.

Teaching staff from the most important professional organizations in design and communication will help students to develop both in terms of knowledge and self-sufficiency.
Two guiding principles are essential to the training we provide: A spirit of research and thoroughness in realization.
