Définition
The "certificat de qualification professionnelle de branche" (CQP) is a certificate established by an occupational branch in order to meet its specific needs. It attests to the mastery, by a person, of skills linked with a qualification identified by the branch.
The CQP has no education level recognised by the State, has value only in the branch or the branches group which created it.
The elaboration of a CQP remains a decision of the national labour/management Commission for employment (CPNE) of the branch.
