Our Instructors and Instructor Trainers are active, sporty people, constantly on-the-go. Often they have little time to dedicate to application forms relative to the courses they conducted, or they may not have a printer or scanner on hand. Until now, getting an instructor application signed was time consuming and pretty costly and inconvenient for Instructor Trainers, as they had to print documents and post them back to DAN Training.

In our industry, however, time factor is critical, this is why we introduced a brand new procedure to sign documents. The DocuSign platform makes it possible to quickly sign and send certifications, thus cutting down dramatically the amount of time necessary to get the paperwork done. The whole process, which normally took 2-3 weeks, will now be reduced to 1-2 days!

This new platform is simple, easy and so much faster than printing, signing and scanning documents. It gives users the possibility to sign up anywhere, any time, and on any device. Furthermore, since all documents are digital there's no need to interpret handwritten forms anymore. Last but not least, DocuSign ensures the legality of electronic signatures.

What is an electronic signature?
An electronic signature, or eSignature, is an electronic indication of intent to agree to or approve the contents of a document.

How does DocuSign eSignature work?
eSignature enables instructor and instructor trainers to sign with their mouse, upload a scanned image of their signature, or type in their name and select from a variety of signature styles to sign a document. With the DocuSign mobile app they are able to sign with their finger. Whichever option they choose, their signature is a valid electronic signature. This signature will be associated with a unique identifier so that every document they sign will be recorded as signed by they and they alone.

Are electronic signatures legal?
