Article 1

 

The present regulations have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of articles L.6352-3 and L.6352-4 and R.6352-1 to R.6352- 15 of the French Labor Code. They apply to all trainees for the duration of the training course.

 

Article 2 : Discipline 

Trainees are strictly forbidden to:

For example:​

• Bringing alcoholic beverages onto the organization's premises; 

• To attend training courses while intoxicated;

• Take away or modify training materials;

• Change computer parameter settings ;

• To eat in the classrooms;

• Use cell phones during sessions for purposes other than training.

Article 3 : Penalties

 Depending on the nature and seriousness of the misconduct, the management of the training organization may impose one or other of the following sanctions, in ascending order of importance:

• Written warning from the Director of the training organization ;

• Blame;

• Permanent exclusion from the course.

Article 4: Pre-sanction interview and procedure.

No sanction may be imposed on a trainee without the latter being informed at the same time, in writing, of the grievances against him/her. When the training organization considers imposing a sanction, it summons the trainee by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, or by hand-delivered letter with receipt, indicating the purpose of the summons and the date, time and place of the meeting, unless the proposed sanction does not affect the trainee's attendance for the remainder of the training course.

During the interview, the trainee may be assisted by a person of his/her choice, either a trainee or an employee of the training organization. The summons referred to in the previous article shall mention this option. During the interview, the reason for the envisaged sanction is indicated to the trainee: the latter is then given the opportunity to provide any explanation or justification for the facts of which he/she is accused.

When the training organization considers a temporary exclusion with immediate effect to be essential, no definitive sanction relating to the misconduct that led to the exclusion may be taken without the trainee having first been informed of the grievances against him/her and, if applicable, having been summoned to an interview and given the opportunity to explain himself/herself before a Disciplinary Committee.

Penalties may not be imposed less than one clear day or more than 15 days after the interview or, where applicable, after consultation with the Disciplinary Committee. The trainee is notified of the sanction in writing, stating the reasons, by registered letter or by letter delivered against receipt. At the same time, the training organization informs the employer and, where applicable, the joint body paying the training costs, of the sanction imposed.

 

Article 5: Trainee representation

When the duration of a training course exceeds 500 hours, a titular delegate and a substitute delegate are elected in a two-round uninominal ballot. All trainees are eligible to vote, with the exception of prisoners admitted to vocational training.

The training organization organizes the ballot, which takes place during training hours, no earlier than 20 hours and no later than 40 hours after the start of the course. Should it prove impossible to appoint trainees' representatives, the training organization will draw up a “procès-verbal de carence”, which will be forwarded to the regional prefect with territorial jurisdiction.

Delegates are elected for the duration of the training course. Their functions end when they cease, for whatever reason, to participate in the training.

If the titular delegate and alternate delegate have ceased their functions before the end of the training session, a new election is held under the conditions set out in articles R.6352-9 to R.6352-12.

Trainee representatives make any suggestions they can to improve the running of training courses and trainees' living conditions within the training organization. They present all individual or collective complaints relating to these matters, to health and safety conditions, and to the application of internal regulations.

 

Article 6: Health and safety​

Preventing the risk of accidents and illness is imperative, and requires everyone to comply fully with all applicable health and safety regulations. To this end, general and specific safety instructions in force within the organization, where they exist, must be strictly observed, failing which disciplinary action may be taken.

When training takes place on the company's site, the general and specific safety instructions applicable are those of the company.

 

Article 7

 

A copy of these rules is given to each trainee (before final registration).
