In accordance with Articles R.6352-1 to R.6352-6 of the French Labour Code, hygiene and safety rules aim to ensure the physical and moral protection of all trainees, trainers, and administrative staff.

Trainees will be informed as soon as possible, and training will be rescheduled or continued remotely where feasible.
Disciplinary rules aim to ensure:

Compliance conditions continued participation and issuance of certificates/attestations.
Trainees must attend wearing clean, decent, context-appropriate clothing, respectful of collective standards and neutrality, avoiding any appearance/sign/message that is political, religious, provocative, or discriminatory. Access may be refused if attire is clearly inappropriate or disruptive.
Trainees must be punctual, diligent, engaged, listen and follow instructions, collaborate constructively, use appropriate language, and avoid any behavior harming group cohesion.

Repeated breaches constitute misconduct under Article 4.
Trainees agree to follow the program and methodology, respect schedules, not disrupt or publicly challenge sessions, and raise learning difficulties discreetly. Any deliberate disruption is serious misconduct; the organization may remove the trainee immediately without refund.
Materials and tools provided are for learning only. Trainees must not reproduce, distribute, transmit, or use them for personal/commercial/competitive purposes without written authorization, and must return any materials if requested. Unauthorized reproduction/distribution may lead to civil and criminal proceedings.
Online spaces are part of the training framework. Trainees must be courteous, professional, respect confidentiality, avoid irrelevant/inappropriate content, and not disrupt platforms. Screenshots or audio/video recordings are strictly prohibited without express authorization. Unauthorized sharing of pedagogical content engages the trainee’s personal liability.
Trainees must not use the name, logo, or image of Sound Academy / Studiomap without written authorization, nor present themselves as representatives/trainers/ambassadors without explicit mandate. Any harm to brand image is serious misconduct and may lead to immediate exclusion and legal action.
Trainees must maintain respectful, inclusive professional relationships. Prohibited: inappropriate remarks/gestures, intimidation, mockery, harassment, exclusion, manipulation, or disparagement. Breaches may lead to immediate reporting and disciplinary measures/exclusion without refund.
Trainees may report inappropriate behavior confidentially at:
📧 timothee@sound-academy.co
An internal procedure will be initiated respecting confidentiality and neutrality.
Equipment, software, and digital tools may be provided for strictly pedagogical use. They remain the property of Studiomap SAS / Sound Academy or partners. Use implies strict compliance with security, confidentiality, and IP rules. Any breach may incur the trainee’s personal (including financial) liability.
Provided equipment must be used only for training work, in accordance with instructions, with care and in line with electrical/technical safety rules. It is prohibited to use equipment for personal/commercial/competitive purposes, install/modify software, connect external devices without authorization, or access unrelated sites/platforms. Misuse/damage may lead to invoicing and/or immediate exclusion without refund.
Software is protected by IP law and used under valid licenses. Trainees must not copy, transfer, install, circumvent protections, or use outside the planned training scope. Violations may lead to civil/criminal proceedings for infringement.
Credentials provided are personal and non-transferable. Trainees must not share credentials, download/redistribute materials without authorization, alter or delete platform content, and must log out after sessions. In case of compromise, liability may be incurred if negligence is proven.
Training-related data is GDPR-protected and subject to pedagogical confidentiality. Trainees must not disseminate data beyond authorized use, should back up their work, and must respect other trainees’ files. Studiomap / Sound Academy is not liable for losses due to mishandling or external storage incidents.
Resources (samples, templates, tutorials, videos, internal docs) are copyright-protected and for personal, temporary use only. Any distribution/resale/commercial integration without written authorization is prohibited and may lead to exclusion, reporting to funders, and legal action.
Trainees must use networks responsibly and must not attempt unauthorized access, install programs without approval, or interfere with systems. Hacking/intrusion/illegal downloading/security circumvention is serious misconduct and may be prosecuted.
Borrowed equipment must be returned at the end of the session in the same condition, with accessories, and verified jointly with staff. Non-return/loss/damage may lead to charging replacement value.
Studiomap / Sound Academy maintains equipment but is not liable for accidents/damage caused by misuse or negligence. Trainees are encouraged to hold civil liability insurance covering damages they may cause. Proof may be provided by any means (witness statements, photos, reports, internal CCTV, etc.).
Training may involve creation/production of audiovisual, music, visual, or digital content. All training materials, recordings, exercises, creations, and projects are subject to copyright and image rights. This article aims to protect the organization’s IP, frame use of works/recordings, ensure privacy/image rights, and define conditions for use, distribution, and rights licensing.
All documents, media, videos, audio files, presentations, tutorials, compositions, software, templates, visuals, methods, and elements shared during training are the exclusive property of Studiomap SAS / Sound Academy, protected under French IP law, and may not be copied/transmitted/reproduced/exploited without prior written authorization. Unauthorized use is infringement and may lead to civil/criminal proceedings. Materials are strictly for personal educational use and may not be shared/sold/distributed/reused commercially or for other training/communication purposes.
Works produced by trainees remain the trainee’s intellectual property as the author; however, Studiomap / Sound Academy retains a pedagogical and promotional usage right, including use of all/part of creations for communication (website, brochures, social media, presentation videos, showreels, etc.) without financial compensation, while respecting the author’s moral rights (credit by first name/pseudonym unless otherwise requested). Any commercial exploitation by the organization requires a separate written agreement.
Audio/video/photo recordings may be made for pedagogical purposes (analysis, review, assessment, archiving) or promotional purposes (institutional communication, testimonials, reports, demos). Each trainee expressly authorizes the organization to film/photograph/record them within training activities and to use such images/excerpts on internal media (platform, archives) and external media (website, social networks, brochures, public presentations, communication campaigns). This authorization is free of charge, non-exclusive, and unlimited in duration, unless withdrawn in writing to: contact@sound-academy.co
Each trainee retains rights over their image and privacy. The organization agrees not to distort or use images in a harmful context and to keep internal-use images confidential. The trainee may request removal of their image online or withdrawal of a personal video/photo, subject to a reasonable, justified request. Any trainee-made recording (audio/video/screenshot/social sharing) is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization; breach is serious misconduct (Article 4).
Where projects are created in groups, authorship is collective and the organization holds a non-exclusive right of use for pedagogical and promotional purposes. Any trainee wishing to publish group works publicly must obtain prior consent from all co-authors.
Use of the organization’s name, logo, trademarks, or visual identity is strictly controlled. Trainees may not present themselves as official representatives/trainers/spokespersons, use brands for personal/promotional/commercial purposes, or create branded content without written validation. Breaches may lead to legal action for trademark misuse and reputational harm.
Data from projects, assessments, and recordings is processed in accordance with GDPR and used exclusively for pedagogical follow-up, Qualiopi evidence, and continuous improvement. Trainees may exercise rights of access/rectification/deletion with the DPO at:
📧 contact@sound-academy.co
Any breach (reproduction, distribution, modification, unauthorized exploitation of works/recordings/protected content) constitutes serious misconduct and may result in immediate exclusion, non-issuance of certificates, and civil/criminal proceedings.
(Note: your French text under Article 8 actually focuses heavily on disability inclusion and accessibility; I translated it accordingly.)
Sound Academy by Studiomap reaffirms its commitment to equal rights, equal opportunities, and non-discrimination in access to vocational training. In line with the French Labour Code and the French Education Code, it undertakes to ensure physical, digital, and pedagogical accessibility, promote inclusion of trainees with disabilities, and implement reasonable accommodations where possible.
A disability contact person is appointed to welcome, listen, guide, assess needs, coordinate accommodations, and ensure compliance with Qualiopi requirements.
📧 Disability contact: timothee@sound-academy.co
All actions are confidential and no disability-related information may be shared without explicit consent.
Before training begins, trainees may voluntarily report a disability, health condition, mobility constraint, or learning difficulty. The team will assess possible adaptations (content, pace, equipment, assessments) such as extra time, adapted materials, enhanced tutoring, or improved access. Feasibility is assessed against technical/safety constraints and certification requirements.
Where possible, venues are accessible for reduced mobility and comply with safety/evacuation requirements. If a site is temporarily inaccessible, alternatives may be proposed (change of venue, remote/hybrid delivery, or rescheduling). The organization cannot be held liable for temporary partner-site constraints.
Online platforms/tools are monitored for accessibility. Trainees may request alternative formats (accessible PDFs, subtitles, audio description) and technical assistance. Requests are handled promptly with the disability contact person and technical team.
Disability/health needs are treated as sensitive data under GDPR. No disclosure occurs without written consent; any discriminatory behavior is sanctioned as serious misconduct (Article 4).
The organization is subject to an enhanced obligation of means, not results. It will consider requests in good faith and mobilize partners (AGEFIPH, MDPH, CAP Emploi, etc.). If no reasonable accommodation is possible or safety would be compromised, participation may be postponed or cancelled without being considered unlawful discrimination.
Administrative and teaching staff receive regular awareness and training on disability inclusion in line with Qualiopi. Continuous improvement tools document accommodations and compliance for audits.
Attendance is a core contractual obligation and a condition for validation and issuance of attendance/training/certification documents, as well as continued funding by third-party bodies. The trainee commits to follow the full pathway, participate actively, and respect schedules.
The trainee must sign attendance each half-day (in person), validate presence online (remote), participate in all assessments, and notify absences/lateness without delay. Any absence not reported within 24 hours is considered unjustified.
In case of absence, written proof must be provided within 48 hours and sent to:
📧 contact@sound-academy.co
Legitimate absences may lead to make-up sessions where feasible. Unjustified absences may lead to reporting, funding interruption, or exclusion.
Repeated lateness/early departures may be treated as an attendance breach. Access may be refused after significant lateness and the half-day may be deemed invalid. Three consecutive unjustified late arrivals equal one unjustified absence.
Attendance is tracked and archived per Qualiopi/legal requirements (paper/digital logs, remote connection tracking). The trainee acknowledges these objective records and waives later disputes about recorded attendance.
Any trainee wishing to stop early must notify in writing (reason and date) to:
📧 contact@sound-academy.co
Unnotified withdrawals are considered unjustified; no refund applies and hours may be reported to funders.
Repeated unjustified absenteeism may result in warning, exclusion without refund, loss of certificate/funding, and—in certifying courses—non-issuance of the qualification.
In force majeure situations, trainees may request rescheduling within organizational availability; feasibility remains at the organization’s discretion.
The organization transmits attendance records and reports repeated absenteeism as required. The trainee acknowledges that unjustified interruption may cause funding loss without recourse.
The organization is not liable for external causes of absence, funding loss due to trainee breach, or administrative consequences of unreported withdrawal. Obligation remains one of means.
(Note: your French “Article 10” content actually covers evaluation; I translated the content as written.)
Competency assessment is essential to measure progress, mastery of skills, and compliance with certification requirements. Assessment modalities are defined in the official program provided before training begins. The organization applies objective, transparent evaluation aligned with official frameworks (France Compétences, RNCP, RS, partner certifications).
Assessments may include diagnostic, formative, and summative/certifying evaluations through MCQs, professional simulations, practical projects, case studies, audio/video deliverables, oral/written work, and jury presentations where required. All evaluations are documented and archived as Qualiopi evidence.
Evaluations follow impartiality, equal treatment, confidentiality, and neutrality. Trainers/jury members must have no conflict of interest. Any attempt to influence, cheat, or pressure evaluators is prohibited and is serious misconduct.
Validation depends on attendance, completion of work, compliance with instructions/deadlines, and competency criteria in the reference framework. Results may be expressed as acquired/partially acquired/not acquired or graded scores. No automatic retake is guaranteed; retakes require pedagogical approval per the framework.
RNCP/RS certifications are validated by an independent authorized jury (internal or partner). Jury decisions are sovereign and confidential, with no appeal except proven clerical error. Upon success, the trainee receives an end-of-training attestation and/or official certificate/title. In case of failure, an attendance attestation may be issued upon request, without result mention.
Fraud, cheating, plagiarism, falsification, unauthorized assistance, or use of generated content without pedagogical validation is serious misconduct and may lead to annulment, exclusion, non-issuance, or permanent exclusion without refund, and reporting to certifiers/funders.
Any complaint must be submitted in writing within 10 working days after results communication to:
📧 certification@sound-academy.co
A written response is provided within 30 days. Jury academic judgment is not subject to revision except in case of obvious error.
Results and evidence are archived for at least 5 years (Qualiopi/France Compétences) and may be communicated to authorities upon request.
No certification can be issued if training is interrupted; partial attendance/skills may be attested. In case of later resumption, validated skills may be carried over subject to the title’s validity period.
The organization is not liable for failure due to lack of attendance/work, jury decisions, or consequences of failure. Obligation remains one of means.
(Note: your French “Article 11” content is about data protection; I translated the content as written.)
Sound Academy by Studiomap may collect, process, and store personal data related to trainees, trainers, speakers, and partners in accordance with GDPR and French data protection law, respecting ethics, confidentiality, and proportionality. Purposes include administrative/pedagogical/financial management, Qualiopi compliance, traceability and certification issuance, and institutional communication subject to consent.
Data may include identification data, administrative data, learning data, connection logs, and audiovisual data (see Article 7), limited to what is necessary for contract execution and regulatory compliance.
Processing is based on contract performance, legal obligations, legitimate interest for follow-up/quality, and where applicable explicit consent for promotional use (image/testimonials). No processing occurs without valid legal basis.
Only authorized staff access data under security/authentication measures. External providers are bound by confidentiality clauses. Breaches may lead to disciplinary and legal sanctions.
Data is retained for 5 years after training ends (Qualiopi/DREETS obligations), then archived or deleted. Some certification documents may be retained up to 10 years for evidentiary purposes.
Trainees have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction/objection, and portability. Requests may be made to:
📧 contact@sound-academy.co
Requests are handled within 30 working days.
Security measures include EU hosting, HTTPS/SSL, access controls, backups, internal audits. In case of data breach, the organization notifies CNIL within 72 hours and informs affected persons as required.
Data may be shared with funders, authorities, certifiers, and partners strictly as necessary and under confidentiality agreements. No data is sold or rented for commercial purposes.
Promotional use of images/testimonials requires specific written consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
The organization acts as data controller. The DPO manages compliance and rights. In case of dispute:
(Note: your French “Article 12” content is about liability/insurance; I translated the content as written.)
