Quality and Accessibility Commitment

ELE USAL Strasbourg is Qualiopi certified and is fully committed to universal accessibility in accordance with the French Law of February 11, 2005, for equal rights and opportunities.

Our organization strictly complies with Indicator 26 of the Qualiopi framework, which requires mobilizing the necessary expertise, tools, and networks to welcome, support, train, or guide people with disabilities.

  • Non-discrimination: Equal treatment for all learners.
  • Right to compensation: Educational, technical, and organizational adaptations.
  • Accessibility for all: Solutions adapted to each type of disability.
  • Personalized support: Individualized monitoring throughout the training.

Legal definition of disability

According to Article L.114 of the French Social Action and Families Code, a disability is defined as:

“Any limitation of activity or restriction of participation in society suffered in their environment by a person due to a substantial, lasting, or permanent alteration of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive, or psychic functions, multiple disabilities, or a disabling health disorder.”

This definition includes motor, sensory, psychic, and cognitive disabilities, learning disorders (DYS, ADHD), disabling diseases (diabetes, epilepsy), and multiple disabilities.

Premises accessibility and reception

📍 Address: 9 rue Saint-Aloïse, 67100 Strasbourg

  • Home classes: Organization of training sessions at the learner’s home.
  • Online classes: Distance learning via video conference (Zoom, Teams).
  • Hybrid classes: A combination of face-to-face and distance learning.
  • Alternative locations: Classes in accessible partner premises.
  • Parking: PRM parking spaces available at Place Saint-Aloïse.
