FRANCE COMPÉTENCES

France Compétences, a public administrative institution created on 1 January 2019 in application of the law for the freedom to choose one’s professional future of 5 September 2018, is the single national authority for regulating and financing vocational training and apprenticeships.

This institution guarantees the relevance of vocational qualifications and their adequacy with the needs of the French labour market, and contributes to the monitoring and evaluation of the quality of the training provided.

As part of these missions, France Compétences examines applications for registration of qualifications in the two national directories according to the criteria defined by the decree of 18 December 2018: the Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles (RNCP) and the Répertoire spécifique des certifications et des habilitations (RS).

WHAT IS CERTIFICATION?

A certification registered with France Compétences allows private and associative organisations, in their own name or via a network of partners, to implement a training course preparing for the acquisition of skills and knowledge necessary for the exercise of a targeted professional activity.

It is the skills, knowledge, know-how and professional behaviour acquired by the certified persons that are attested.

A certification is renewable, registered with France Compétences for a limited period of time, and is updated according to the evolution of professional practices, the needs of the labour market and the employability of the certified persons.
