Beyond conventions, Certeef generates and gets contracts signed with probative value, from editable templates, via Certeef Sign.
Prerequisites
- Admin role.
- Legal representative configured in Settings → Billing profile.
1. Subcontracting contract (indicator 27)
From the trainer record, generate a subcontracting contract:
- Click New subcontracting contract.
- Enter service details: scope, dates, amount.
- Edit the HTML template if needed (variables are pre-filled).
- Send the signature request to the trainer and to your legal representative.
- The signed PDF is archived in the trainer record.
Tip: the subcontracting contract covers Qualiopi indicator 27. Once signed, the indicator is automatically turned compliant.
2. Training contract
From the Documents tab of a learner record, generate a training contract for direct B2C sales:
- Click New training contract.
- Select the training concerned.
- Edit the template and send the signature request.
- The signed PDF is archived in the learner record.
3. Legal representative
The organization’s legal representative (name and title) is set in Settings → Billing profile. It is injected into all regulatory documents and pre-fills the organization-side signer of contracts.
Important: set the legal representative before generating your first contract, changing it afterwards does not update already-generated documents.
What’s next?

- Export or archive a session : freeze the complete evidence file.
Frequently asked questions
- Which contracts can I get signed?
- The subcontracting contract (organization ↔ trainer, indicator 27) and the training contract (organization ↔ individual learner), from editable HTML templates, signed via Certeef Sign.
- What is the legal representative for?
- It is the organization's authorized signer. Set in the billing profile, it is injected into regulatory documents (attendance certificate, certificate, convention) and pre-fills the organization-side signer of contracts.
- Can I customise the contract template?
- Yes. Each contract type has an editable HTML template with variables (signer name, training title, dates, amount…). Edit the template from Settings → Documents before generating.
- Is the contract legally binding without a wet signature?
- Yes. Certeef Sign produces an electronically signed PDF with audit trail. This qualifies as a legally valid signature under French law (eIDAS regulation).
