Our Experts

France has a tradition that was perpetuated over centuries : it classes , organises and rewards the best French skilled workers and craftsmen through organisations such as ‘ Meilleurs Ouvriers de France ’ ( over 100 years ) or ‘ Compagnons du tour de France ’ ( over 800 years ).

All SAF experts are holders of an “ Excellence Award ”. They have all been trained in auditing knowledge since they have all passed the tests proposed during the competitions . They know how to train since learning is for them the main way to access knowledge .

Zoom on “ Meilleurs Ouvriers de France ” ( MOF )

Many craftsmen in France and abroad dream about the MOF in their « blue-white-red - collar ». The ‘ Meilleurs Ouvriers de France ’ competition was created in 1924 to promote “ the high qualification in the exercise of a professional activity in the artisanal , commercial , service , industrial or agricultural field ”. Only the highly skilled craftsmen obtain this medal , hence the admiration it arises .
