French Sports Code
In forceAfter acknowledgement of receipt of the declaration under the conditions set out in article R. 212-88 by the Prefect or the Minister responsible for sports, the Prefect will issue a sports educator's professional card to the declarant whose professional qualifications meet the conditions for recognition set out in article R. 212-90, with the exception of persons who have been the subject of one of the convictions or measures mentioned in articles L. 212-9, L. 212-13 and L. 232-23 or of a legal ban on exercising the activities mentioned in article L. 212-1 and subject, where applicable, to verification of the applicant's language skills.
If there are serious and concrete doubts about the applicant's level of knowledge of the French language, the Prefect may require the applicant to undergo a test, after the professional qualifications have been recognised and before the sports educator professional card is issued, in order to guarantee the safe practice of physical and sports activities and the ability to alert emergency services.
The professional card allows the declarant to carry out their activity on national territory under the same conditions as holders of diplomas, professional qualifications or qualification certificates included on the list drawn up by the Minister responsible for sports, as provided for in article R. 212-2.
The professional card mentions the conditions of practice relating to the declarant's professional qualification attested in accordance with 1°, 2°, 3° or 4° of article R. 212-90 for all or part of the activities in the functions mentioned in article L. 212-1.
At the request of the Prefect, the professional card is returned by holders who have been the subject of one of the convictions or measures mentioned in articles L. 212-9, L. 212-13 and L. 232-23 or of a judicial ban on carrying out the activities mentioned in article L. 212-1.
