Qualiopi certification and training funding

Qualiopi is the French national quality certification awarded to bodies delivering skills-development activities. It attests to compliance with a demanding framework covering public information, the design of services, learner support and continuous improvement.

For the learner, a course run by a certified body is a marker of seriousness. For the funder, it is a condition of access to a wide range of public and pooled funding mechanisms.

IFGR does not hold the Qualiopi certification: this certification is being considered, not initiated. Its courses therefore cannot be funded by an OPCO, France Travail or the CPF; they are paid for directly by the company or by the trainee.

France's Personal Training Account (CPF) allows every working person to draw on rights accrued through their activity to finance an eligible course. Employees may also call upon their employer's skills-development plan when the training forms part of a shared professional project.

Jobseekers may, depending on their situation, benefit from funding support through dedicated public schemes. Companies, for their part, can integrate the training of their staff into their wider skills strategy.

As every situation is specific, IFGR guides candidates towards the mechanism best suited to their status and project, without substituting itself for the funding bodies, which remain the decision-makers.
