The Office Professionnel de Qualification des Conseils
en Management (OPQCM) is a trade association created in 1979
at the initiative of the Fédération des Syndicats
des Sociétés d'Études et de Conseils (SYNTEC)
and the Chambre des Ingénieurs-Conseil de France
(CICF). As of today, 550 firms and independent consultants have been

The OPQCM delivers quality labels to consulting firms based solely on
professional criteria, the suitability of their human, technical and financial
resources, and customer satisfaction.
Three conditions must be combined to acquire this label: to have practiced
management consulting for at least two years, to practice consulting as
your main profession on the open market, and to prove you are financially
sound and generate representative annual revenues.
The OPQCM has established a classification by area of expertise that
recognizes 15 main types of consulting.
Since 1993, the OPQCM has delivered to merlane its Professional
Qualification Certificate in the field of "Human Resources".
