The School brand

Centrale Lyon is the point of attraction for all audiences. Its range of training courses is based on a "one-stop shop" approach: a clear, fluid path for all.

In everyday text, the brand is always spelled out with a capital "C" for Centrale and a capital "L" for "Lyon". When written in the presence of other marks that are themselves capitalized in the same sentence, the mark is written in capitals.
