Testimonial

Fanny
Childcare assistantCertified since 2019

During my first contract as a childminder, I felt underestimated by my employer, who said "you have no degree that proves you're skilled." Even though our work relationship was very good afterward, this remark stayed with me. So, when I learned it was possible to get certified through RPL, I didn't hesitate. I felt immense joy when the jury announced that I was certified. Thanks to this certification, I'm now more confident in job interviews. Along with letters of recommendation from my previous employers, I can now show my certification. I feel more secure in my job, and I’m making better progress.

Since January 2026, the occupation formerly known as ‘childminder’ is now referred to as ‘Childcare Assistant’.
