Qualiopi and electronic signature
- The Qualiopi reference system (indicator 11) requires the traceability of signatures on agreements and signatures. The electronic signature responds perfectly: certain date, identification, integrity. Many certified organizations have moved away from paper without loss of compliance.Recommended level

Use the SES for a learning contract (prefer AES)
Do not sign in for each session (Qualiopi requirement)
Forget the educational annexes in the agreement
- Store the agreements and the signs separately
- Concrete case: OPCO tripartite agreement
- A 35-day Bootcamp session: 10 learners, 1 OPCO (AKTO), 1 OF. Process:
- Generation of the 10 agreements from Digiforma
Generation of the 10 agreements from Digiforma
