Commission Nationale de la Certification Professionnelle (CNCP) in accordance with the Law and the Decreehas, the Commission Nationale de la Certification Professionnelle has as basic missions:
To establish and update the National Vocational Certification Register (RNCP)
The establishment of the RNCP has the following objectives:

- - to present a coherent image in the provision of certification;
- - to oversee the quality of the provision described by the RNCP.
A consequence of these three considerations is the possibility of involving the issuers of certificates with a view to adapting certification to changes in the world of employment, as well as to updating certification, addressing any failures of coverage and taking new requirements on board.
The Law also confides the mission of contributing to international projects, in particular European ones. The CNCP is the national point of reference for the transparency of qualifications.
