LA CNCP ET LE RNCP

1. LA CNCP ET LE RNCP Anne-Marie CHARRAUD Michel FEUTRIE Utrecht 22/09/2005

2. Two instruments to develop certification and VAE • The Law of 2002 creates two instruments for information about what qualification may be obtained through VAE • A National Commission for vocational certification (CNCP) • A National repertory of the vocational certifications (RNCP)

3. Five missions for the CNCP • Register all diplomas and certificates delivered in the name of the State in the RNCP • Register the other certificates only after an exam and advice given during a specific working group • Follow the qualifications evolution and indicate if some certifications must be actualized • Follow the quality of the information given through the National Repertory • Inform the national network of counseling and individual advise points

4. The CNCP composition • A prime minister attachment delegated to the minister of Labour • Composed with representatives of : • ministers which received a certification mission from the State • social partners • regions • chambers of industry and commerce • private vocational training centers

5. Two ways to be registered on the RNCP • The diplomas and degrees delivered in the name of the State when there is a consultation with the social partners are automatically registered • All the other certifications (diplomas, titles, certificates) delivered by public as private institutions without a consultation together with State and social partners are registered through a demand procedure including an examination by the CNCP

6. Le Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles

7. The RNCP aims • Give information about each certification registered to the RH responsible and individuals • Provide to guidance actors information details about each system of qualification permitting an adapted choice to the individuals purposes • Permit to the institutions delivering the certification to have a sectors and national map for their own policies and mutual recognition • Give the basis of the Europass certificate and diplomas supplements

9. The content of a certification description • This content is very close to the Europass tools. So each certification is described through 3 main aspects • the activities and competences concerned by the certification and the labour market field where it can be used • the training and validation roads permitting the access to the certification and jurys composition • administrative and legal information (which institution is responsible and delivered it, what recognitions exist with other institutions or countries, statistics …)
