PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS

Professional certifications, commonly referred to as ‘RNCP qualifications’, are registered in the French National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP) and enable the validation of the skills and knowledge acquired that are necessary to practise a profession. They are classified by qualification level and field of activity.

All professional certifications offered by CDE FEDE France can be validated after an initial training programme (either as a pupil or student, under an apprenticeship contract or a professional training contract), after a continuing education programme, or through validation of acquired experience (VAE).

All professional certifications are organised into skill blocks: these constitute a modular and progressive approach to certification and facilitate access to and adaptation to a target profession with a view to employability. Certification by blocks is available to candidates in continuing education and VAE (validation of acquired experience).

CDE FEDE France currently has several professional certifications registered with the RNCP. The list of training organisations authorised to provide training can be found on the page for each certification on the France Compétences website.
