🇬🇧 English

This order sets special procedures for issuing several French vocational qualifications in the 2026 exam session in the Amiens and Lille education regions after an incident affecting information systems. It covers the CAP, vocational baccalaureate, professional certificate, arts and crafts certificate, and specialization certificate. The annex provides forms for training records, continuous assessment files, workplace training periods, teacher assessments, and school opinions. In practice, schools, training bodies, teachers, apprenticeships centers, and exam administrators must document candidates’ results and training periods through these records so diplomas can still be awarded despite disruption to normal IT processes.
