Updated on June 14, 2026 Read: 5 min
Attendance is your assiduity evidence for Qualiopi. It becomes active once the session has started (Delivery phase) and only concerns confirmed or present learners.
Prerequisites
- Session in Delivery phase (started).
- Admin role (or trainer for sessions assigned to them).
1. Record presence
For each learner’s row on the attendance sheet:
- Enter the arrival time.
- Enter the departure time.
- The learner moves to present status and the effective duration is calculated automatically.
Tip: attendance is collected per half-day for multi-day sessions. See Half-day attendance slots.
2. Collect learner signatures
From the learner’s space: a Sign button appears in their learning path when the session is open and within its time window. The learner can draw their signature or type their name.
Via a signing link: from the attendance row, send a signing link by email for the slot. The same rules apply (open session, time window, confirmed enrolment).
Important: signing is refused outside the session’s time window, this keeps the evidence consistent with the real training time. If a learner missed the window, reopen the session.
3. Fix an entry
Click Clear on a row to reset the attendance entry and move the learner back to confirmed. You can also reopen a closed session for post-session catch-up.
4. Towards compliance
A completed session where every present learner has signed satisfies indicator 11 of the Qualiopi framework. See Understanding the compliance dashboard.
For a signature with legal probative value (agreement, certificate), see Electronic signature.

Frequently asked questions
- When can a learner sign their attendance?
- Only when the session is open and within its time window. Outside that slot, signing is not offered.
- How do I fix an incorrect attendance entry?
- The Clear button resets the entry and moves the learner back to 'confirmed'. You can then re-enter arrival and departure.
- Can I send a signing link by email instead of having the learner sign in the app?
- Yes. From the attendance row, send a signing link by email for the slot. The same safeguards apply (open session, time window, confirmed enrolment) before marking the learner present.
- Is attendance required on every slot of a multi-day session?
- Yes. Multi-day sessions are split into half-day slots. Each slot has its own attendance and signatures. See half-day attendance slots.
