Looking for Kubernetes training delivered by a Qualiopi certified organization? This page answers your questions about quality certification and professional funding options.
TL;DR: Qualiopi certifies the quality of a training organization's processes, not a specific technology. SFEIR SAS and SFEIR-EST entities are Qualiopi certified. Contact your OPCO to explore funding options for your Kubernetes training.
What Is Qualiopi and How Does It Relate to Kubernetes Training?
Qualiopi is a French quality certification mandatory for training organizations wishing to access public or pooled funds. It is not specific to Kubernetes or any technology.
This certification, issued by accredited bodies, attests that your training organization meets 7 quality criteria defined by the National Quality Reference Framework. If you want to fund your Kubernetes training through your OPCO, you must choose a Qualiopi certified organization.
Key takeaway: Qualiopi certifies the organization, not the technical training itself. Always verify the certificate before committing.
Are SFEIR Kubernetes Trainings Qualiopi Eligible?
Yes. SFEIR group training organizations (SFEIR SAS, SFEIR-EST) are Qualiopi certified for training actions.
This means our Kubernetes trainings can potentially benefit from funding through your OPCO:
| Training | Duration | Target Audience | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes Fundamentals | 1 day | Beginners, all profiles | — |
| LFS458 Kubernetes Administration | 4 days | System administrators, infrastructure engineers | CKA |

How to Fund My Kubernetes Training with My OPCO?
Contact your OPCO directly to explore funding options. Each OPCO defines its own eligibility criteria and limits.
Here are the steps you should follow:
- Identify your OPCO based on your company's collective agreement
- Verify eligibility of the training with your OPCO advisor
- Request a Kubernetes training quote from the training organization

How Long Does an Organization's Qualiopi Certification Last?
Qualiopi certification is valid for 3 years, with a mandatory surveillance audit between the 14th and 22nd month.
When choosing your organization for Kubernetes infrastructure engineer training, verify:
- The Qualiopi certificate issue date
- The expiration date
- The certificate number (verifiable with the certifying body)
Key takeaway: Systematically request a copy of the Qualiopi certificate before committing.
