Manage qualifications

QUALIFICATIONS Reading time : 4 min Updated May 13, 2026
A well-run club proves who can coach, who can referee, who has a current medical certificate. Paak centralizes these qualifications per member and automatically sends reminders before each expiry.

Types of qualifications

Paak distinguishes several broad families:

  • Federation diplomas — BPJEPS, DEJEPS (France) or your federation's coaching awards.
  • Sports licences — annual federation licence for each member.
  • Medical certificates — fitness-to-practice certificates.
  • First-aid awards — PSC1, PSE1, PSE2 (France) or equivalent.
  • Background checks — for instructors of minors. See the dedicated guide.
  • Custom — create your own types from Settings → Qualification types.

Assign a qualification to a member

  1. Open the contact's profile (Members → [name]).
  2. Click the "Qualifications" tab.
  3. Click "Add qualification".
  4. Pick the type (create a new one if needed), enter the number, obtained date and expiry date.
  5. Attach a PDF of the diploma or certificate — useful in case of federation or ministry audit.

Expiry tracking

Paak continuously monitors end-of-validity dates:

  • Compliance dashboard — overview per type (valid / expiring soon / expired).
  • Automatic reminders — emails sent to the person at 30, 14, 7 and 0 days before expiry. Wording adapted to the type (licence renewal vs new medical certificate, etc.).
  • Filters — the Members list can be filtered on "expired certificate" or "unrenewed licence" for bulk follow-up.

FAQ

Does Paak issue the certificates?
No. Paak tracks qualifications obtained elsewhere (federation, training body, doctor). It's a traceability tool, not a certification one.
Does an expired qualification block membership?
By default no — the member stays active but appears in the "non-compliant" list. You can configure a per-type block in Settings → Qualification types (useful for mandatory medical certificates in competition).
How do I export for the federation?
For background checks, the SI Honorabilité CSV export is available — see the dedicated guide. For licences, the Members list CSV export includes licence number and validity date.
