Qualiopi

Qualiopi is the certification mark of the National Quality Standard. It is issued by a certification body accredited by Cofrac, after an audit covering 32 indicators across seven criteria. The legal basis is the Labour Code (L.6316-1 and R.6316-1 et seq.).

Certification is attached to one or more categories of activity: training, skills assessment, VAE (recognition of prior learning), and apprenticeships. A Qualiopi mention without a category does not comply with the mark’s rules of use.

The official visual (Marianne, the ‘French Republic’ wording) is issued only to the certified provider. It must not appear on a document given to a learner, which would imply that the course itself is certified.

Any provider that wants access to the CPF, an OPCO, France Travail or other public and pooled funds must hold Qualiopi for the relevant category. Without this certification, those funders will not purchase.

A provider that sells only to companies on their own budgets is not required to hold it. The absence of a badge on EuroSchool therefore does not mean the provider is ‘poor’: it may simply not be targeting those funds.

For a provider established in France, EuroSchool generates the documents that auditors and funders ask for: programme, pre-contract information, convention or contract, attendance, distance-learning evidence, completion statement, realisation certificate.

The badge appears on a listing only if the provider has declared a verified permit (number, expiry, categories). EuroSchool does not embed the official visual. A generated document is not a Qualiopi certification.

Qualiopi is recognised neither in Germany, nor in Spain, nor elsewhere. AZAV, FUNDAE or DGERT do not replace it. EuroSchool is not an awarding body and does not obtain Qualiopi on the provider’s behalf. A blank template is not evidence of an audit.
