Prior to that, from 2016 to 2017, they studied at Heriot-Watt University and completed a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Robotics, Autonomous and Interactive Systems with a specialization in Autonomous Robotics.
Before pursuing their master's degree, Auguste attended ENSTA Bretagne from 2014 to 2017 and received a French engineering diploma in Mobile Robotics. Auguste began their higher education journey in 2012 at Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles, Lycée Pasteur, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, where they focused on Physics and Engineering sciences.
In addition to their formal education, Auguste Bourgois has obtained several certifications. In October 2017, they achieved a Standard First Aid, CPR and AED certification from Croix-Rouge française. In September 2015, they obtained a Certificat d'aptitude théorique au pilotage d'ULM from Direction Generale de l'Aviation Civile. In the same year, in May, they acquired a Permis côtier, hauturier & fluvial certification from DRIEAT (Direction régionale et interdépartementale Environnement-Aménagement-Transports). Recently, in April 2021, they completed an Opito BOSIET certification from FMTC Safety. Finally, in December 2015, they obtained a TOEFL iBT certification from The TOEFL® test.
