CNEFOP lists of quality certifications and labels (historical)

Historical scheme: the CNEFOP ceased activity in 2019, its missions taken over by the new governance, notably France compétences.

Issued by: CNEFOP — the French national council for employment, training and vocational guidance

Who it concerns

Concerned providers holding a quality certification or label seeking official recognition with funders.

Scope

What this scheme covers

  • C.1The list of certifications and labels recognised as meeting the 2015 quality decree (it notably included ISO 9001, the OPQF qualification and sector or regional labels).
  • C.2A practical effect: providers holding a listed mark were presumed compliant by funders, without a full new review.
How it fits

The link with Qualiopi
