DEMOCRAT certification: Detection, Evaluation and Operational Control of Radical, Social and Transgressive Behaviour
What is DEMOCRAT certification?
What is radicalisation ?
The term " radicalisation " entered the news after the 2012 attacks by Mohamed Merrah in Toulouse as well as the events in France in January and November 2015.
Since then, the term has become almost synonymous with Islamic terrorism, although the phenomena of radicalisation are not new and have not always concerned the religious fact.
In fact, if the ultimate forms of radicalisation have been able to mark France recently, it is no less true that there are other behaviours testifying to an ideological radicalisation (environmental, political, social ...), likely to disrupt the nation's activities and the integrity of institutions.
These behaviours, whatever their form, have a direct and indirect impact on the French social body (companies, institutions, local authorities, associations, etc.), which must implement preventive and emergency measures to prevent and manage these phenomena.
These involve anticipation and operational control measures for these radicalisation phenomena, which themselves require to prepare the employees of organisations with an adapted certification.
What is DEMOCRAT certification?
Given the growing importance for companies to control and prevent the radicalisation of behaviours and given the limited number of effective means to achieve this, Apave Certification offers a certification that intervenes at the end of a 9-day course provided by the Apave training organisation and IFET (Institut de Formation des Elus Territoriaux), in partnership with the Gendarmerie Nationale. The exam takes place on the 10th and last day of the course.
.
The C by Apave certificate delivered by Apave Certification is aimed at senior managers of companies or public organisations (including local authorities) and assesses the knowledge and skills of any person whose role is to implement procedures to prevent or deal with the phenomenon of radicalisation.
Who the DEMOCRAT certification is for ?
Anyone whose professional activities and responsibilities involve putting in place measures to prevent radicalised behaviour and/or operational emergency procedures.
The course is provided by the training organisation Apave and IFET (Institut de Formation des Elus Territoriaux), in partnership with the Gendarmerie Nationale.
This certification pathway is eligible for the CPF.
