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
Concerned providers holding a quality certification or label seeking official recognition with funders.
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.
The link with Qualiopi
The 'list of recognised quality marks' logic disappeared with the 2018 reform: since 2022, the single national Qualiopi certification replaces the mosaic of CNEFOP-recognised labels.
To prepare Qualiopi certification itself, see the guide to the 32 indicators of the framework.
The process, summarised
- 1.No steps possible: the lists no longer exist. The current route is Qualiopi certification.
