- Designed and delivered by IRICE experts

Niveau 2, 29 et 30 September 2026
Pre-registerHave your training funded
These courses are delivered with QUALITEL Formation, certified Qualiopi by QUALIBAT under number FP 2021/0027-5. They are therefore eligible for funding by your skills operator — most often Atlas for design offices and architecture practices, Constructys for construction companies, Uniformation for social housing.
One constraint decides everything: the request must be filed before the course starts, and at least fifteen days ahead for some operators.
Which level suits you
Level 1 sets the framework and requires no prior knowledge. Level 2 leads to the Biodiversity Partner qualification. Levels 3 and 4 extend that qualification to development and to operation.

Three questions to identify your level
The result is guidance. IRICE checks your prerequisites when reviewing your pre-registration.
Level 1 first
Level 1 is your entry point. Without an initial qualification in ecology, it conditions access to Level 2. It gives you the vocabulary, the issues and the regulatory tools you need before tackling the Effinature standard.

The pathway in four levels
The levels are not a ladder to climb. Each opens a defined scope, and the first is a legitimate destination in itself.
Intégrer la biodiversité dans les projets de construction et de rénovation
Reference points, with no entry requirement. Enough on its own if you do not need to guide certified projects.
Devenir Biodiversity Partner
The qualification that lets you guide projects towards certification, and lists your name publicly.
Biodiversity Partner Aménagement, référentiel Horizon
Extends the qualification to area-wide development: development zones, eco-districts, ecological continuity.
Biodiversity Partner Exploitation, additif Haute Valeur Écologique
Extends the qualification to the operational phase, where performance is actually measured.

Frequently asked questions
It is eligible; the decision rests with your skills operator. The courses are provided under the partnership with Qualitel Formation, which is Qualiopi-certified, a condition for funding. The quote and the agreement issued after your registration make up the file you submit.
The attendance certificate is issued by Qualitel Formation and confirms that you attended the session. The Biodiversity Partner qualification is issued by IRICE, after you pass the multiple-choice test and your file has been checked. They are two distinct things, and the second does not follow automatically from the first.
