From July 1, 2021, certifying bodies with a certification registered with the RS or RNCP must carry out a “certifier hook”. In other words, they must lodge the titles issued with the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, within three months of issuing the certification.
This is a new obligation for certifiers. If they fail to do so, they will be subject to sanctions that may go as far as deferring certification.
Any organization with at least one RN or RNCP certification is concerned. Use of the CPF system to finance training is not taken into account. What matters is registration with France Compétences. Certifiers are therefore required to provide information on all qualifications issued to apprentices. This also applies to certifications obtained through apprenticeships and professionalization contracts.
Please note that this is the obligation of the certifiers. If you are a training organization that has entered into a partnership in order to be eligible for the CPF, it is not your responsibility to take this step. The certifier may, however, ask you to pass on the relevant information.
For the time being, certifications outside the RS and RNCP directories are not covered by the approach, but should be in the near future.
The aim of the certification system is to create an orientation, training and skills passport for all French citizens. In concrete terms, each person will be able to consult this passport to find all the information relating to training courses taken, professional experience acquired and qualifications held. They can then transform this information into a CV, the data of which will be guaranteed by Caisse des Dépôts. The advantage of this is to have a certified CV, which limits the possibility of false information such as false training or diplomas.
The information will also be used to build indicators to help Mon Compte Formation users make better training choices.
The Order of May 21, 2021 sets out the information on data transmission by certifiers. Certifiers have three months from the date of issue of the certification to take the necessary steps.
The information to be transmitted includes :
The certifier is responsible for the reliability of the information. Only data on admitted candidates of French nationality should be transmitted.
In the case of co-certifications (a certification is shared by several certifiers), the certifiers must agree that only one of them will transmit all the data.
To be able to transmit data, the following steps must first be taken:
Data must be transmitted via an XML file on the dedicated portal. You can include several certification runs in the same file. You can find an example of an XML file here. An XML file is a type of file that allows data to be marked up and structured, and can be read by any hardware or operating system. XML files require special formatting that can appear complex and difficult to understand, so it’s advisable to fill them in using the user guide.
Once the file has been submitted, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt, followed by an acknowledgement of processing. The processing acknowledgement will inform you of any anomalies detected and help you to resolve the problem(s). Rejected files will then have to be resubmitted for validation.
Other transmission methods, notably via API, are currently being studied and may be made available in the near future.
Similarly, it is not currently possible to modify or delete a file that has already been transmitted, but this feature is under study.
Please also note the browser you are using! Caisse des Dépôts has reported that the portal connected to upload files is sometimes inaccessible from Firefox, Explorer and Safari browsers. We advise you to use Chrome or Edge until the problem with the other browsers has been resolved.
If, by the end of the first half of 2022, the certification process has not been completed or at least started, France Compétences may impose sanctions. Initially, this will involve a reminder of the law, then if the certifier still takes no action, the certifications will be delisted.
It is therefore important to transmit the data, and therefore to bring them together during the certification process, especially those concerning the owner. As a reminder, only the holder’s surname, first name, date of birth and gender are required to transmit files.
