French term or phrase: études supérieurs
Does this basically mean the person went to college at Itecom?


j'ai fait mes ***études supérieurs*** à itecom et je me suis arrêtée a la licence professionnelle en marketing et communication.le métier d’hôtesse m'a toujours plu et j'ai eu à participer à des évènements comme la conférence de la BAD et le lancement des nouveaux produits de oil lybia

higher education
Explanation:
Yes, you are right, it means the person undertook their higher education (post-Bac) at the ITECOM.

See eg:

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Études_supérieures

It sounds like it might be this institution:

http://www.itecom-opera.com/

In the UK, this would likely be referred to as a "college" or "institute" rather than a university, although all would fall under the phrase 'etudes supérieures' depending on what was being studied and where.

Hope this helps ...
