Clarification request(s) and response
Hervé du Verle: 2:17am Jan 13, 2007: can you give a complete sentence please. TS usually stands for "Terminale Scientifique" but does not match with a "technical college"
PeterE (asker): 2:58am Jan 13, 2007: Bonjour Herve: At the Lycee polyvalente sainte-anne where a student is doing a BTS in Hotellerie and Restauration, the student in '1TS' does a course lasting 2 semesters then an internship. What might 1TS mean here? It is a Technical course cf. scientific, yes.

'1TS' is follwed in time by a '2TS' as if it is the title of a year of study.

Elsewhere, I see 'T' referring to various years in study at a lycee for a Baccalureat Technologique.
Drmanu49: 9:23pm Jan 13, 2007: Sorry but this is first and second year of BTS after baccalaureate. The entry is wrong.

disagree Drmanu49: Sorry but this entry is completely wrong unles you consider the technical baccalaureate to be a BTS which is not the case.

  -> Baccalaureate has not the same meaning in France and outside France, though I agree at daylight, it might be a college degree rather than a technical Baccalaureate, hence the quote marks
