Financing using your Personal Training Account (CPF)

The “CPF”, introduced in France in January 2015, is a credit earned by all employees and reserved for buying training. This personal fund allows you to learn new skills throughout your working life. Note that you have a free choice of training: it does not have to correspond to your current job. This means you can use your CPF credit to help you find a new job or to prepare for a career change.

To better understand the CPF, to create your own CPF account or to use your credits for language training, see our dedicated page on use of the CPF, or call us at (+33) (0)2 38 22 03 22 or use our contact form.

Partial or complete financing by employers

If your company considers that foreign language skills will enhance your performance, it may be willing pay for all or part for your training. There are a number of options:

1. Employer contribution

Your company can partially finance your training.

To do this, your employer can make a contribution directly for the selected training course via the “Employers and Financers Space” (EDEF) platform on moncompteformation.gouv.fr. The payment is held by the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation public financial institution until it is made available to you via your CPF.

If you are an employer wishing to contribute to employee training, you can see the steps involved in this illustrated tutorial.

2. Financing by your OPCO

You are a Training Manager in a company employing fewer than 50 people?

In the framework of the company’s Skills Development Plan, courses may be financed by the government “Competency Operator” (OPCO: Opérateur de Compétence) corresponding to your professional branch, respecting the procedural framework defined for that branch.

Co-financing may be possible for specific projects.

Taking into account your budget, we will work with you to develop language courses matching the identified needs of your employees.

3. Financing via the National Employment Fund

The government’s “FNE-Formation” training financing scheme was revamped during Covid-19 health crisis in order to support the needs of companies in partial activity, in long-term partial activity or in great difficulty by covering vocational education costs.

In companies with all or some of its staff in partial activity, all employees (excluding apprentices and professionalization contracts) are eligible.

Contributions to training costs depend on the size of the company and its situation.
