Qualiopi Certification and Funding for Intercultural Training
Qualiopi certification is a necessary condition for access to public or shared funding sources.
Thanks to this certification, Birdwell’s intercultural training programs can be eligible — depending on the case — for funding such as:
• Coverage by OPCO under corporate skills development plans,
• Certain institutional or shared funding programs.
Birdwell works with companies and HR teams to identify the most suitable funding options and assist with preparation of funding applications.
Frequently Asked Questions – Qualiopi Certification for HR
Qualiopi is a national certification required for training providers that want to be eligible for public or shared funding, verifying the quality of their administrative, pedagogical, and organizational processes.
No. While Qualiopi is required, each individual program must also meet the specific criteria of the funder (OPCO, CPF, etc.). Birdwell supports HR in checking eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
Not directly. CPF-eligible programs must be linked to a recognized certification or framework, which intercultural training alone does not always satisfy.
Birdwell’s intercultural training programs can be included in a company’s development plan. HR teams need to:
• Identify the relevant OPCO,
• Submit the program details (objectives, duration, cost),
• Include proof of Birdwell’s Qualiopi certification.
Birdwell can assist HR teams through this process.
Working with a Qualiopi-certified provider allows HR teams to:
• Secure training funding,
• Ensure high pedagogical quality,
• Comply with regulatory requirements,
• Partner with a provider committed to continuous improvement.
