🇬🇧 English

This French decree formally authorizes the Bureau du pilotage des acteurs du secours, part of the Directorate General for Civil Security and Crisis Management (DGSCGC), to deliver both initial and continuing training for a defined list of first-aid and rescue instructor qualifications. Article 1 covers core public training programs including GQS (Gestes qui sauvent), PSC, PSE1, PSE2, aquatic rescue qualifications (SSA EI, SSA L), rescue boat pilot (PES), and several trainer pedagogy modules. Article 2 covers advanced trainer-of-trainers programs (FF and CEF) which may not be delegated and must be delivered directly by the main establishment. All training must follow official DGSCGC-registered internal reference frameworks listed in the annex, which also specifies target audiences. The authorization is valid for three years nationwide and on foreign territories, is non-transferable, and subjects the holder to strict ministerial oversight, notification of any changes, and potential sanctions.
