BOURGOGNE-FRANCHE-COMTÉ: Public agricultural education is doubly certified
The regional directorate for food, agriculture and forestry is pleased that all the public agricultural education establishments in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté have obtained Qualiopi and Qualiformagri certifications.
Since January 1, 2022, apprentice training centers and continuing education centers must have obtained Qualiopi quality certification in order to continue to benefit from public or pooled funds. This is one of the consequences of the law of September 5, 2018 for the freedom to choose one’s professional future.
In addition, a ministerial decree of October 14, 2019, imposes on Local Public Establishments for Agricultural Education and Professional Training (EPLEFPA) a second quality certification: Qualiformagri. This framework includes additional commitments relating to management. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food thus intends to promote the five missions assigned to the EPLEFPAs:
– provide initial and continuous general, technological and vocational training;
– participate in the animation and development of the territories;
– contributing to the school, social and professional integration of young people and the social and professional integration of adults;
– contribute to agricultural and agri-food development, experimentation and innovation activities;
– participate in international cooperation actions, in particular by promoting exchanges and the reception of pupils, apprentices, students, trainees and teachers.
In 2020 and 2021, despite the difficult health context, the EPLEFPA teams worked to bring their establishments into compliance to meet the requirements of these two quality standards. For this, the establishments were able to rely on the EPLEFPA network of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (REPAFEB) and the Cidées firm to provide individual and collective support to the centres. The establishments also received support from the Regional Service for Training and Development of the DRAAF Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
The quality challenge has been met: as of December 31, 2021, all EPLEFPAs in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté were doubly certified.
