-a first part relating to the admissibility of the application (or admissibility booklet);
-an explanatory note accompanying the admissibility booklet;
-a second part relating to the description and analysis of the activities carried out by the candidate;

Candidates complete and submit the first part of their application, together with supporting documents attesting to the duration and nature of their experience, to the regional director of youth, sport and community life in their place of residence, who will decide whether their application is admissible.

In addition, candidates for a diploma enabling them to supervise activities taking place in a specific environment, as defined in article R. 212-7, must satisfy the technical requirements prior to entering the training course or registering for the examination to obtain this diploma.
