Certification of training organisations in private security activities

What is FAPS - Training organisations ?

Qu'est-ce que

Article L. 625-2 of the internal security code requires training bodies in private security activities to be certified by an accredited certifying body. This certification is required to obtain the authorisation to exercise delivered by CNAPS (National advisory on private security activities).

  • Certify your skills in terms of training
  • Satisfy your regulatory obligation with the security expert!

The Order of 1 July 2016 defines the criteria and the procedure for obtaining (or renewing) in order to be authorised to exercise a training activity in private security activities.

Training organisations that work in Training in Private Security Activities must provide a certificate that certifies their skills in terms of training.

 

Procedures: If you are a training organisation in security activities, subject to authorisation from CNAPS (National advisory on private security activities), certification is mandatory (L. 625-2 of the internal security code – CSI).

 

This allows you to:

  • effectively and economically meet your regulatory obligation.
  • obtain proof of quality for your customers and partners

In addition to your certification specific to private security activities, we can also provide you with a label on the "Qualité des Actions de Formation" (Training action quality) standard for recognition by financing entities of professional training. (allocation of the cost of training to these financing entities).

This label is recognised by CNEFOP and by the financing entities (OPCA, Pôle emploi…).
