Requalification:

Before December 20 of each year:

The trainer must insert in his PAT-AEQ file the list of training courses that he has supervised during the year.
No later than January 31, AEQ will renew their training certificate for one year or send them a letter explaining the reasons for non-renewal and the procedure to follow to renew their training certificate.
Carry out at least one training per year: after two seasons without having given training, the trainer will automatically lose his training certificate and he will have to follow the trainer training again. The number of internships to be completed will be determined by the evaluator after the final evaluation of the training.
Participate in the trainers’ meeting organized at the beginning of the year by AEQ and the evaluators: obligatory at the beginning of the year (March-April) and optional at the end of the year (September-October). In the case of an unmotivated and unannounced absence, AEQ will determine the measures to take to transmit the information and could go so far as to withdraw the training certificate. The annual meeting can take place by videoconference or in person.
Continuous assessment, no final exam.
