Section 2: Disciplinary law

A sanction is any measure, other than verbal comments, taken by the director of the training organisation or his representative, following an action by the trainee or apprentice which he considers to be at fault, whether or not this measure is likely to affect immediately the presence of the person concerned in the training course or to jeopardise the continuity of the training which he is receiving. Fines or other…

No penalty may be imposed on a trainee or apprentice without the latter first being informed of the grounds for the penalty.

When the director of the training organisation or his representative is considering taking a sanction which has an impact, whether immediate or otherwise, on the presence of a trainee or apprentice in a training course, the procedure is as follows: 1° The Director or his representative shall summon the trainee or apprentice and inform him of the purpose of the summons. This notice specifies the date, time and place of…

The penalty may not be imposed less than one clear day or more than fifteen days after the interview. The trainee or apprentice will be notified of the decision in writing, stating the reasons, by registered letter or by delivery against receipt.

When the behaviour has made it essential to take an interim measure of temporary exclusion with immediate effect, no definitive sanction relating to this behaviour may be taken without the procedure provided for in article R. 6352-4 and, where applicable, articles R. 6352-5 and R. 6352-6, having been observed.

The director of the training organisation will inform the employer and the funding body of the sanction taken.
