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.
