Qualiopi: training organizations, prepare for certification, follow-up or renewal!
As of January 1, 2022, you will have to demonstrate that you provide quality services. How? By introducing Qualiopi certification, based on RNQ, a unique reference framework listing 7 criteria and 32 quality indicators detailed by decree. This distinctive sign is now required to benefit from public and mutualized funding.
To secure your market, AFNOR Certification issues Qualiopi certification, for which it holds COFRAC accreditation, and its other distinctive quality marks (accreditation certificate n°5-0030, available on www.cofrac.fr).
Do you already have it? Now it’s time to make sure it stays that way! Prepare for your surveillance audit (18 months after your certification) or anticipate your renewal audit (no later than 4 months before your certificate expires). Because if you lose this distinctive sign, which is valid for three years, you risk losing your financing and your customers!
