Professional retraining: the benefits of an RNCP qualification in luxury goods

Contrary to what people sometimes read, the RNCP is not a diploma. It is a title associated with a diploma, which certifies the professional qualification of the person who holds it. Because the RNCP title is a guarantee of recognition of skills, it undoubtedly represents real added value. As part of a career change, obtaining an RNCP qualification, such as those awarded by Sup de Luxe, with its Bachelor of Luxury and MBA Luxury Brand Marketing & International Management programmes, can help you take a decisive step forward.

What is an RNCP qualification ? 

The Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles (RNCP) is France's official register of all state-recognised qualifications. Created to guarantee the quality and relevance of diplomas and training courses, it is managed by France Compétences, a public institution dedicated to the development of skills and professional qualifications.

An RNCP title certifies that the training corresponds to the needs of the labour market and that it effectively prepares students for the targeted professions. It also attests to an individual's ability to practise a profession thanks to specific skills and knowledge. RNCP titles are classified by level (from 3 to 8), corresponding to different degrees of qualification, from CAP (level 3) to doctorate (level 8). This system provides clear, uniform recognition of skills, both for employers and for further study.

As part of a career change, obtaining an RNCP qualification can be a real asset. It offers a number of advantages for those wishing to make a career change and move more easily into a new field of activity.

Firstly, an RNCP qualification provides official recognition of skills. As a State certification, it testifies to the quality and relevance of the training undertaken. Employers see it as a guarantee that the candidate has the necessary skills to take up a position, even if they come from another sector of activity.

Secondly, the RNCP qualification is designed to be immediately operational. Certified programmes focus on practical skills that can be applied directly in the workplace. This means that retrainees can quickly integrate into their new working environment and respond effectively to market expectations.

It also offers financial advantages, by facilitating access to schemes such as the Personal Training Account (CPF) or regional funding. These aids make retraining more accessible, by supporting individuals in their process of change.

Finally, an RNCP qualification opens up a wider range of prospects. It is often valued in specific sectors, such as luxury goods, where mastery of technical and managerial skills is particularly sought after. In these demanding environments, official certification can make the difference between two candidates, by reinforcing the legitimacy and attractiveness of the profile.
