I am currently a French student at Angers University in 'Maîtrise Sciences et Technique' (equivalent to first year of M.Sc.) in applied Biophysiology for Plant Production, and wish to carry out a training course in June or July, in order to obtain a better English level, and better horticultural knowledge. Moreover, following my MST diploma, I would like to go to the National Institute of Horticulture (INH), and this training course will facilitate entry.
If you are interested, I join my curriculum vitae for you.

Yours faithfully,

Laétitia Kerbouz.
