French term or phrase: une cession de certificat
The below paragraph is from a document titled "Reglement des disciplines" from the Fédération Fraçaise Cynophile Sportive:

Chapitre 2. Le certificat d'Obejump

Le certificat concerne les chiens et conducteurs débutants, il permet d’attester des qualités de l’équipe à pouvoir évoluer dans la discipline « OBEJUMP », il faut cependant un âge minimum de 6 mois pour le chien pour s’inscrire à ***une cession de certificat***.

My question is, could this be a spelling mistake, should it say *session* de certificat? Depending on whether or not it is a mistake in the source text, I have included translation options below:

Translation: However, dogs must be at least 6 months of age to apply to "enter an assessment session for the certificate" OR "to be eligible for the award of an Obejump certificate".

Thanks for any advice!

Explanation:
only "une session" [a session = time and place agreed for the purpose of conducting the obedience test] makes ANY sense.

neutral  writeaway: 100% with no refs -just the dbox discussion? /no it's very obviously a typo. but I've never heard of a dog taking a test for a certificate.

  -> what about RealWorld v1.0? even 6 months is very early for any kind of test => "_c_ession" of what? Of a certificate obtained by the previous dog handler?? obtained for another dog?? Can you dream up ANY even vaguely plausible scenario with "cession"???
