__Further „indicators“ (e.g. statistical information on status <strong>of</strong> qualification holders on the labour market or their income, ratio <strong>of</strong>self-employed persons, numbers <strong>of</strong> start-ups, sizes <strong>of</strong> enterprises, unemployment rate <strong>of</strong> holders <strong>of</strong> the qualification, results <strong>of</strong>graduate surveys, classifications used in collective agreements)In France the CNCP (<strong>National</strong> commission for vocational certifications) is the main actor :Created by the Social Modernization Act No. 2002-73 <strong>of</strong> January 17, 2002, the <strong>National</strong> Commission <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionalcertification is under the authority <strong>of</strong> the Minister responsible for vocational training.Its mission:__Inventory pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifications in the national directory <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional certifications : (RNCP)__Inform people and companies on qualifications and certifications listed in the RNCP and on the certifications recognized inthe European community,__Ensure coherence, complementarity and renewal <strong>of</strong> diplomas and qualifications and their adaptation to changes inqualifications and work organization,__Give public advice before the creation <strong>of</strong> new pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifications to be registered in the RNCP,__Achieving public assessment <strong>of</strong> vocational qualification certificates,__Make recommendations to institutions elaborating new vocational certifications__Report any total or partial possible matches between certifications registered in the directory, and other certificationsincluding European ones__Develop a new classification <strong>of</strong> levels <strong>of</strong> certification in relation to jobs.__Develop a new classification <strong>of</strong> levels <strong>of</strong> certification in relation to jobs.__Validate or propose levels <strong>of</strong> certifications on the NQFUnder the authority <strong>of</strong> his President, the CNCP is works with a specialized committee, a permanent secretariat and a network<strong>of</strong> regional correspondents. It contributes to international work on transparency <strong>of</strong> qualifications.The Repertory (RNCP) thus represents a reference tool for all stakeholders involved in the employment-training relationship ata national and international level, both for the general public and for enterprises.All the vocational certifications listed in the RNCP must possess a level in the French list to enable a correspondence with theEQF to be established. The correspondence between the French list and the European framework is established using aconversion table elaborated by the members <strong>of</strong> the CNCP. For higher education certifications, the implementation <strong>of</strong> the LMDprocess is taken into account. For certifications issued in the name <strong>of</strong> the French State, each certifying legal authority (such asministries...) is responsible for its positioning on the national level. For certification registered upon request, the CNCPproposes the level on NQF.The tools used as interfaces to the EQF in the Netherlands can be described as followed:__The assignment <strong>of</strong> the construction <strong>of</strong> the NLQF determined that the existing levels in vmbo, mbo, havo, vwo, highereducation and adult education (the educational system) had to be described with one common language and that logicalranking or juxtapositioning should determine the amount <strong>of</strong> levels.__At first a conceptual framework was designed. The first conceptual publicized framework consisted <strong>of</strong> 10 levels. It wasdesigned as a fundament for the NLQF and to test the NLQF. Experts <strong>of</strong> the designated educational sectors and stakeholders<strong>of</strong> all kind <strong>of</strong> education and labour market have contributed to the elaboration <strong>of</strong> this conceptual framework. After consultationrounds the conceptual framework was reduced to 8 levels.__The existing qualification levels were described in the chosen conceptual framework and then presented to stakeholders anddiscussed in round table conferences.__The advisory Committee has advised the Minister <strong>of</strong> Education, Culture and Science on the draft and the NCP NLQF. TheCommittee has made some revisions in the drafts they had to advise on.__At the moment three documents are available:__Schematisch overzicht van de Nederlandse onderwijssectoren, NLQF en het EQF__A scheme <strong>of</strong> the Dutch educational sectors and the NLQF and EQFNQF-SQF:"This project has been funded with support from21/22<strong>Overview</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Qualification</strong>prepared by 3s research laboratory<strong>frameworks</strong>the European Commission.
