France Compétences is the French national authority responsible for financing and regulation of vocational training and apprenticeships.

The agency is the result of the merger in 2018 of the Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle (CNCP) and several bodies that shared governance of vocational training: the Conseil national de l'emploi, de la formation et de l'orientation professionnelles (CNEFOP), a quadripartite body, and two joint bodies, the Comité paritaire interprofessionnel national pour l'emploi et la formation (COPANEF) and the Fonds paritaire de sécurisation des parcours professionnels (FPSPP).[1]

Control of vocational diplomas and certifications

The Commission de la certification professionnelle of France Compétences (English: Vocational Certification Commission), previously the Commission nationale de la certification professionnelle (CNCP, in English: National Commission for Vocational Certification[2]) is an internal body of France Compétences, which examines applications for registration in the Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles (RNCP) from private bodies and the social partners, thereby helping to regulate the vocational training system, and a former French inter-ministerial commission, interprofessional and interagency.

It has been created by the social modernization law (No. 2002-73[3]). It is under the authority of the Minister responsible for vocational training.[4] It is composed of sixteen departmental officials, ten social partners, three elected representatives of chambers, three elected representatives of regions and twelve qualified persons. These commissioners are appointed by order of the Prime Minister for a period of five years renewable.[5] It replaces the Commission technique d’homologation des titres et diplômes de l’enseignement technologique (Technical Commission for approval of foreign education qualifications technological).[6]

The commission has several missions:

The Commission de la certification professionnelle is based on the work of a specialized committee, a permanent secretariat and a network of regional correspondents. It contributes to the international work the transparency of qualifications.
