Question 39731 — liberal professions

Summary

The French skills commission in charge of professional certification issued, during the meeting of March 16, 2021, an unfavorable opinion on the registration in the national directory of professional certifications (RNCP) of the "shiatsu specialist" certification, noting that its impact in terms of access or return to employment is not convincing, due to a particularly insufficient level of professional integration. This observation is based on the study of the cohorts of certified people provided by the professional Shiatsu union when submitting the professional certification renewal file in the RNCP, where it is noted that: 24% of holders (23 people) carry out the targeted activities of "shiatsu practitioner/specialist", as a self-employed person. Among the incumbents, 22% carry out a combination of activities; 69% of holders (65 people) carry out shiatsu activities with remuneration of less than €5,000; 5% of holders (5 people) work in another profession; 1% of incumbents (one person) are job seekers. Consequently, the file shows a significant weakness in terms of compliance with a substantial criterion of eligibility for the RNCP, defined in article R.6113-9 of the labor code, and which cannot be resolved by support from the professional Shiatsu union by the professional certification directorate of France Compétences. The quality requirement for professional certifications is based on the demonstration of their real use value on the labor market in application of the law of September 5, 2018 for the freedom to choose one's professional future. The law intended to strengthen the level of regulation of the professional certification system by guaranteeing that recognized certifications guarantee quality professional integration for workers. The analysis of the activities described and the monitoring of the certification holders show the relevance of a request for registration in the specific directory (RS). In fact, this directory lists, according to article L.6113-6 of the labor code, the certifications and authorizations corresponding to skills professional complementary to professional certifications. It is in this context that the certification carried by the Professional Federation of Traditional Shiatsu, another professional union, was registered last May in the specific directory. Also, it is recommended that the Shiatsu professional union proceed to submit the request for registration of the file in the RS, so that the French skills commission in responsible for professional certification can formulate an opinion regarding this request.
