You train. We carry the certification, the paperwork and the evidence. Your courses become eligible for funding again, without you having to set up your own training organisation.
Since 1 January 2022, Qualiopi certification has been required to access public and pooled funding for professional training in France — OPCOs (the sector skills bodies), France Travail (the public employment service) and employers’ skills development plans. A trainer who is not certified cannot claim this funding directly.
There is another route, provided for by the regulations: working as a subcontractor to a certified organisation. The commissioning organisation signs the contracts, is accountable for the quality of the training and produces the evidence required at audit. The trainer keeps what makes them valuable: the content and the delivery.
That is what we do. rubby nts is Qualiopi-certified for training activities and registered under no. 11 91 10 24 291. We carry courses for independent trainers alongside our own training courses.
Trainers who call us almost always come through one of these three doors.
The deal is agreed in principle, then HR asks for the certification number. Without it, the funding application cannot be filed and the sale falls through. This is the most common case — and the most urgent.
You could get certified yourself. But that means writing procedures, gathering evidence for the seven criteria, preparing the initial audit and then the surveillance and renewal audits. It is a profession in itself, and it is not yours.
No company, no training provider registration, or a structure that does not cover training. We carry the contract and the invoicing to the end client, and pay you your share.
The subject, the audience, the duration, the client, the planned date. Together we look at what you already have — programme, learning objectives, assessment methods — and what needs to be added to meet Qualiopi requirements.
We draw up the training agreement with the end client and the subcontracting contract with you. The client then has everything they need to file their funding application.
You do your job. We provide the documents to be signed and collected during the session, and tell you exactly what needs to come back.
We invoice the client or their funder, archive the complete file in the format the auditor expects, and pay you the agreed amount.
The rule is simple: everything to do with compliance is on our side; everything to do with teaching stays with you.
You remain the owner of your materials and of your client relationship. The umbrella takes nothing away from you.
From 20% of the revenue carried for the umbrella. We can also offer you dedicated software for training organisations.
For the umbrella: no set-up fee, no subscription, no annual minimum. If no course is carried over a given period, you pay nothing.
At the starting rate, for a course invoiced to the client at €4,000 excl. VAT, the commission is €800 excl. VAT and you receive €3,200 excl. VAT.
The exact rate is set in the quote, depending on the volume and complexity of your files. It covers contracting, producing and archiving the evidence, invoicing, collection and the responsibility we take on in the event of an audit. It is at the top of the range, and deliberately so: we do not simply lend a number, we review every file.
The software we offer is CertiGestion (in French): management software for training organisations where sessions, documents, attendance sheets and evaluations are tracked in one place.
No. That is the whole point of the arrangement: under subcontracting, it is the commissioning organisation that must be certified. You have no certification process to undertake.
We are. The auditor deals with the certified organisation and examines our procedures and evidence, including for subcontracted courses. That is why we look at every file before accepting it: your course commits our certification.
All of them. Our certification covers training activities with no restriction on subject. Whether you teach welding, employment law or public speaking, the mechanism is the same.
We do, as the training organisation. On your side, you sign a subcontracting contract with us. Your client knows you are the trainer: the umbrella is not an opaque arrangement, it is stated in the documents.
On invoice, according to the payment terms set in the subcontracting contract. Professional training funders rarely pay straight away; we take that into account when setting the terms, rather than announcing a figure that reality contradicts.
It is possible, but the framework is different: the contract is no longer a training agreement but a professional training contract, with a cooling-off period. Tell us from the first conversation, as it changes the documents.
The simplest way is to tell us what you need carried: the subject, the client, the date. We will tell you whether it is feasible before discussing anything else.
