CFAs and qualifying training
From BTS to Bac +5: one common thread for every learner
BTS, professional qualifications, Bac +5: you stay on top of things, even when your learners are at the company.
At a glance
An apprenticeship centre (CFA) follows apprentices between the centre and the employer, with quality indicators that demand evidence. Kognisia offers ready-to-deploy qualification programmes and learner-level tracking, including during the weeks at the employer.
Your field
One apprentice, two places, a single thread to hold.
Your situation
You follow apprentices between the centre and the employer
- Dual mentoring and alternation rhythms that differ from one cohort to the next.
- Programmes from BTS to Master's level to keep running, with a variety of trainers.
- Funders and quality indicators to report on.
What gets in the way
The thread breaks between the centre and the employer
- Hard to know who progressed during the weeks at the employer.
- Difficulties show up when the contract has already ended.
- Evidence is scattered between the CFA, the apprenticeship supervisor and the tools.
What it costs you
A broken contract costs the young person, the employer and your results
- A contract that stops weakens the young person's path and the relationship with the employer.
- Team hours spent catching up on a delay found too late.
- In France, the Qualiopi framework moves to 33 indicators on 1 November 2026, including one specific to apprenticeships: you will have to show, not just claim.
What you gain
A clear programme for the apprentice, shared follow-up for you
- Ready-to-deploy qualification pathways, with your own content on top.
- Progress by apprentice and by cohort, even during time at the employer.
- Dropout alerts so you can act before the contract breaks.
- Records useful for your indicators, without re-entry.
Common misconceptions
What people tell themselves before getting started
We tell ourselves “Our apprentices do not log in.”
In reality A mobile app, notifications and badges give them a reason to come back, and you see who no longer does.
We tell ourselves “Employers will not play along.”
In reality Tracking asks nothing more of them: the centre sees the progress and acts.
We tell ourselves “Yet another tool to manage.”
In reality One space for content, assessments and follow-up, instead of several tools that do not talk to each other.

Follow-up, trainer hours, course production and exits before qualification: your actual figures, then what you can aim for.
Everyone answers what they know. Costs and prices usually sit with management, volumes and time spent with the operations team. Copy the link so a colleague can complete the rest.

Your activity today
Your classes, their places and what a learner represents.
What a class costs
Instructors, premises, equipment, coordination: what a class costs before the first learner.
What happens when sessions do not fill
Classes opened at a loss, classes that do not open, contract terminations and dropouts.
What this costs you, and what you could recover
For each line, the cost is calculated from your answers. You then choose the share you consider realistic to reduce.
Classes opened below the threshold
A class kept below the threshold costs more than it brings in.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
Lost recruitment from classes that do not open
Candidates already recruited, a class that does not open, an acquisition cost with no revenue.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
Terminations and dropouts
A learner who leaves means funding that stops and a pathway interrupted.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
Instructor hours redone for every cohort
The same module is often taught again at each intake.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
Coordination and follow-up
Reminders, attendance trackers, exchanges with employers, indicators.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
Producing your courses
Opening a programme means producing or buying in courses.
Amount involved: -Targeted gain: -
What the solution would cost
- Cost of a session or class = teaching hours x hourly cost + premises + administration + materials
- Break-even point = fixed costs of the session / (price per learner - variable costs per learner)
- Targeted gain = current cost x the share you think you can reduce
- ROI (%) = (targeted annual gain - annual cost of the solution) / annual cost of the solution x 100
- Payback period (months) = annual cost of the solution / (targeted annual gain / 12)
Indicative calculation, based only on your answers. An honest estimate is worth more than a flattering figure: if you are unsure, enter less.
Your questions
Does the content follow the qualification standards?
[à compléter : alignement sur les référentiels et fréquence de mise à jour]
Can we start with a single module?
Yes: the catalogue is available as a full programme, as skill blocks or as individual modules.
Is Kognisia Qualiopi-compatible?
Yes. Kognisia is designed to help training organisations meet the indicators of the national quality framework, by making learner tracking visible and traceable. Qualiopi certification is awarded to the training organisation, not to the software: it remains that of your organisation. Details are on the Qualiopi page.
