special qualifications
Explanation:
Without knowing specifically what's involved, I might go for a more general term, such as qualifications.

This would then include other (in my view, more restricted) suggestions such as certifications and licences, but also include such possibilities as a situation where the company has internally authorised (licences and certifications both suggest to me the idea of "external") a person to do a particular job (following successful completion of an internal training course, for example).

neutral  Dr Andrew Read: None of my dictionaries give "skill" as a translation here, so I am wary. But it could be "over-formality" in the original French.
