Under the \u201cProfessional Future\u201d law no. 2018-771 of September 5, 2018, there are many solutions for financing professional training: Personal Training Account (CPF), Skills Development Plan, Pro-A, Personal Training Assistance, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n The programs are often complex and the law provides for a free Professional Development Consulting (PEC) service, to help you create your project and support you through to enrollment.<\/p>\n The <\/strong>Personal Training Account (CPF)<\/strong><\/a> allows any active person, from the moment they enter the labor market until their retirement, to earn credits for training that can be used throughout their professional life.<\/strong><\/p>\n The account accumulates \u20ac500 per year for full-time jobs, up to \u20ac5,000, and can be used to fund training that leads to a listed qualification.<\/strong>\u00a0Less qualified individuals earn \u20ac800, with a ceiling of \u20ac8,000.<\/p>\n There is also complementary funding, called contributions or grants,<\/strong> that can supplement it. On the official website moncompteactivite.gouv.fr<\/a> you will find the various training credits that you can access and the contributions available.<\/p>\n These hours (maximum 120 hours, i.e. \u20ac1,800) have been rolled forward to your Personal Training Account. If you entered them before January 1, 2021 (if you are a public servant, they were automatically transferred in 2018). They can be used for CPF-funded training, no matter what the training period.<\/p>\n \u2192 Learn more about how to use them<\/a><\/p>\n A Skills Development Plan is implemented upon the initiative of public and private organizations as part of a skills management program for staff. You can contact your human resources department to present your training objectives and learn more about potential funding.<\/p>\n These agreements are drawn up between the French government and a company or Skills Operator (OPCO). They offer financial support to enable employees to continue working in the face of transformations in the economic and technical environment, or changes in production conditions.<\/p>\n The program is aimed at organizations with fewer than 250 employees (on fixed-term or permanent contracts) as a priority.<\/p>\n In the current pandemic context<\/strong>, all companies that have implemented partial unemployment measures can access the program.<\/strong><\/p>\n Historically, only some of the courses listed below were eligible for the program, including training leading to an RNCP-registered certification such as our Advanced Master\u2019s.<\/p>\n As of now, the new program expands this to all courses taken remotely during the partial unemployment period, but not after that<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Companies can request support from the FNE-Formation program, as well as partial activity measures, to invest in their employees\u2019 skills.<\/p>\n As these agreements are formalized between the government and a company or Skills Operator, you must contact your HR manager. Applications are assessed by the regional French employment authority (Direccte<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The professional transition program replaces the former CIF program, which no longer exists as of January 1, 2019: it provides continued funding for reconversion training with associated leave<\/strong>. However, the specifics and means of access have changed.<\/p>\n The professional transition program can be used by private sector actors to fund certification training programs that are eligible for Personal Training Account funding and aimed at allowing employees to change career or profession.<\/strong>\u00a0Our Advanced Master\u2019s\u00ae are eligible for this program.<\/p>\n As of January 1, 2020, the Joint Interprofessional Committees (CPIR<\/strong>) \u2013 also known as Professional Transition Associations (Atpro) \u2013 replaced the Fongecif. They handle funding for professional transition projects for employees.\u00a0Funding requests must be submitted to them. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2192 For more information, visit the Ministry for Employment website (https:\/\/travail-emploi.gouv.fr\/formation-professionnelle\/formation-des-salaries\/article\/projet-de-transition-professionnelle#POUR-ALLER-PLUS-LOIN)<\/p>\n The aim of Pro-A (ex-Professionalization Period), a program enabling employees to acquire skills and experience in order to change careers or move to a higher-qualified role, is to support less-qualified employees to advance in their career and remain in employment<\/strong>.\u00a0This type of pathway alternates theoretical learning and professional activity. It makes it possible for individuals to acquire or strengthen skills by obtaining a qualification, funded by their employer.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2192 Learn more about your rights in this area<\/a><\/p>\n Personal Training Assistance supports jobseekers by funding new skills development with the aim of returning quickly to employment.\u00a0The P\u00f4le Emploi AIF program can be used to supplement other funding such as that provided by local authorities. Contact your P\u00f4le Emploi advisor for more information.<\/p>\n It is sometimes necessary to contribute, in part or in full, to funding your training. Note that the amount invested can be deducted from your tax base, whether relating to internship costs or spending to acquire a diploma or a qualification to improve your professional situation. Professional Development Consulting (CEP) is a support program<\/strong> implemented by the government reform. It is open to all<\/strong> (including students and jobseekers) and completely free<\/strong>. It is provided by advisors from authorized bodies.<\/p>\n The role of this program is to help candidates in their choice of course and funding applications. The advisors ensure that your application goes through the correct process, until you are enrolled.<\/p>\n All national operators offer CEP: P\u00f4le Emploi, Apec, Missions Locales, and Cap Emploi.<\/p>\n\n
