My opinion about this subject:

To control on "major" airports or ACC, you have to become an ICNA:
see Décret n°90-998 du 8 novembre 1990 Décret portant statut du corps des ingénieurs du contrôle de la navigation aérienne which says:
"Peuvent seuls exercer leurs fonctions dans les organismes mentionnés au 1° du a de l'article 3 les ingénieurs du contrôle de la navigation aérienne détenant la licence de contrôleur de la circulation aérienne, assortie d'une qualification de contrôle d'approche ou de contrôle régional."

So to become an ICNA you have to go through some ENAC tests (there are different depending on you beeing an TSEEAC or part of french civil aviation). But in no way, it's possible for you to go and find an airport that will validate you.

I may be wrong and if so please tell me how but I really don't see how you can deal otherwise.
