FAQ BAFA

pillar of a successful summer camp, the BAFA instructor supervises children and adolescents, adapts to their expectations and offers activities with rich and varied contents with adapted manual, cultural and sports activities. A summer camp is an important step in the life of a child or adolescent, it is a time that allows them to grow, build and become independent. More than an animator, he is the common thread of a stay, a point of reference that accompanies children on a daily basis and establishes a dialogue between young people, the

A major player in summer camps, UCPA recruits BAFA animators and young people on practical internships during each school vacation period.

• For a first experience in animation that brings a real plus for your CV

Choosing a BAFA course at UCPA means living a human adventure rich in meaning and values. Based on this precept, the pedagogy applied at UCPA is based on the energy of the collective and the action of the participants. It takes full advantage of contributions in cognitive sciences to best promote learning: explicit, structured and progressive teaching with targeted and concise content, concrete objectives, learning through situations, regular mobilization and application of each new knowledge. Finally, our trainers demonstrate a caring attitude towards young people and provide individualized support aimed at success and

It also means taking advantage of training sites located in exceptional environments. Young people in training are immersed in nature, in the mountains or by the sea, and benefit from high quality infrastructures. The training is therefore an opportunity to discover a universe different from their daily lives, to better understand the environment that surrounds them and to become aware of their impact on the world.

Finally, it means taking advantage of in-depth topics or specific qualifications with the interventions of specialized instructors (snow and skiing, mountains, sports games, lifeguard, canoeing, sailing...).

You can take your BAFA from the age of 16. There is no maximum age to register.

From the age of 15 and a half, you can already complete the various steps to register (see administrative procedures section)

You have 30 months to complete your training, including 18 months between the General Education internship (internship 1) and the practical internship (internship 2). Go to the site http://www.jeunes.gouv.fr/bafa-bafd ('Home' tab) to check your course and the various due dates

The evaluation criteria are based on the objectives of the BAFA according to the decree of 15 July 2015 and the expected levels according to the stages of the training with regard to the end-of-training objectives.

The objectives are:

1) To prepare the facilitator to perform the following functions:

- ensure the physical and moral safety of minors and in particular to make them aware, as part of the implementation of an educational project, of the risks associated, depending on the circumstances, with addictive behaviors or behaviors, in particular those related to sexuality. The prevention of sexual and sexist violence is thus addressed;

- to build a quality relationship with members of the teaching team and minors, whether individual or collective, and to ensure in particular the prevention of any form of discrimination; - to

provide, where appropriate, a response adapted to situations that minors face.

The director of the session assesses your achievements in view of the objectives specific to the session, your assiduity and your ability to integrate into collective life and to work in a team.

General education is the first step in BAFA. Its objective is to transmit the fundamental concepts of animation: how to ensure the safety of minors, how to implement an educational project, how to supervise and animate

The contents covered throughout the general training prepare for the different roles and functions of the animator:

• discovery of the different types of activities: big games, evenings, songs, manual activities, expression,
...
• knowledge of the child: needs by age group, type of possible activities, types of activities, adolescent behaviors,
• management of collective and daily life: individualized monitoring of the child, conflict management,
• regulations and safety: responsibility of the facilitator, supervision standards, travel and transport, travel and transport, management of swimming time, management of bathing time, instructions and organization of entertainment times,
• educational commitment: secularism, social events, situations of disability, diversity and sexuality,
techniques for research Internship practice: procedures, how to write a CV, a cover letter, go for an interview...

The director of the session issues an opinion (favorable or not favorable) motivated by an assessment that she gives you at the end of the internship. These opinions and evaluations are entered by the director in a dematerialized manner on the minutes of the session. A few days later, your internship and your appreciation will appear on your candidate profile.

Deepening or qualifying is the 3rd and final stage of the BAFA. Her objective is to deepen her knowledge, to dive into a specific theme and to analyze her practical internship.

The qualification has the particularity of giving supervision privileges in a specific field (Swimming Supervisor, Canoe Kayak,...)

Attention

• The Swim Supervisor qualification will only be issued to minors upon reaching the age of majority (18)
.
• Every 5 years you must renew your BAFA complementary qualification 'bathing supervision' after having followed a satisfactory renewal session. For this training session you must register administratively on the BAFA website before registering with the training organization of your choice. In the event of a favorable assessment, a certificate of qualification for renewal of the authorization will be issued to you by the departmental director of the place where the session is held

The training, advanced training or qualification times are divided into 3 main parts:

• 1/3 of time devoted to the chosen theme
.
• 1/3 of time devoted to the analysis of experiences lived in practical training in order to progress: satisfactions, successes, mistakes made and solutions to consider.
• 1/3 of time devoted to completing theoretical knowledge: to deepen it and to analyze any additional needs.

These two internships allow you to complete your BAFA training.

Qualification also makes it possible to validate technical know-how and the ability to safely supervise an activity. It therefore requires prerequisites to be able to access it

During the last stage of the BAFA, choose the theme that interests you the most, if not the one where you want to develop knowledge and skills.

Note: the theme is not restrictive and does not appear on your diploma. For example, you will be able to supervise a stay at the sea when you have created a mountain theme

The choice to register for a qualification will be motivated by the possibility of supervising certain specific activities (Remember to check the prerequisites to register).

The director of the session issues an opinion (favorable or not favorable) motivated by an assessment that she gives you at the end of the internship. These opinions and evaluations are entered by the director in a dematerialized manner on the minutes of the session. A few days later, your internship and your appreciation will appear on your candidate profile.

For the practical internship, it is the director of the collective reception of minors where you did your internship who enters your certificate. Make sure that he/she has completed this entry before finishing your internship.

When you finish your internship, your director must inform you whether or not it has been validated. He/she issues an opinion (satisfied or not satisfactory) and writes an assessment motivating this opinion. We strongly invite you not to leave the place of your internship without having had the final answer as well as an interview which will serve as a formal end-of-internship report (this end-of-internship assessment is mandatory).

The results of each participant will then be entered into a Report sent to the Ministry. It takes about 15 days for the validation to appear on your space. However, this delay may be longer.
