The attendance sheet: an indispensable
in the training process

The attendance sheet is a tool to measure attendance at an assembly, meeting or training. For a long time, it was the only paper element used to justify real participation. Today, it is dematerialized and contributes to the whole certification of attendance required by the financing organizations. Here are a few lines on its interest, its evolution and its integration into solutions such as Bienvenue Formation.

The use of the attendance sheet

The attendance sheet or emissary sheet is widely used in general assemblies of co-owners, meetings as well as training sessions. During a general meeting of the syndic, it allows to determine the number of people present. Thanks to this document, the quorum can be calculated and the votes validated. It is recorded in the minutes as documentation and proof. During a meeting, the attendance sheet can be used to identify the number of participants and the number of votes required for a majority. For vocational training, it attests to the attendance of learners and validates step-by-step participation in the process.

The content of an attendance sheet

The attendance sheet must include the essential elements related to the event. For example, for a general meeting of co-owners or a meeting of shareholders, the number of shares is essential. In training, several information must be mentioned:
Learners' names
The place
Date and time
The name of the trainer
The title of the module or course
The name of the training organization.
The attendance sheet can be addressed to a group or signed out individually. In addition, it must have a blank space for the trainees' signature. Some models are designed for half-day or full-day signing and can also be organized by session.

Attendance sheets for training

The presentation of the attendance sheet in the form of a table remains the most common, whether it is individual or collective. Issuing paper lists generates processing, archiving and time-consuming activities that no longer correspond to modern requirements. However, it is still possible to print out an attendance sheet template in various formats.
A Word timesheet is easy to use, but has the disadvantage of changing the document with each entry.
An Excel or Sheet version offers the possibility of integrating calculation formulas to obtain attendance times. Here too, each intervention modifies the document.
A table presented as a PDF may seem more suitable for signing, but has the same drawbacks when saved.
In any case, you have to print and sign a paper attendance sheet which has other disadvantages. Indeed, in addition to misplaced printouts and overflowing initials, you have to deal with omissions and make up for them. It is then a long process to obtain the missing signature. Finally, the completed document must be sent via the scanner.

A contribution to the certificate of attendance required by the OPCOs

For a long time, the attendance sheet was the only document needed to certify the attendance of a training course. Since Decree No. 2017-382 of March 22, 2017, it must be accompanied by other information to obtain the"proof of attendance." To complete the certificate of attendance, the training organization must provide the documents justifying the coaching and evaluation. In all cases, the competence operators are entitled to require a secure attendance sheet to validate funding. The payment of funds is correlated to the proper delivery of the training and the effective presence of the learners. The transmission of reliable and certified documents is therefore a major issue in the economic life of vocational training.
