The Personal Training Account (Compte Personnel de Formation - CPF) enables you to acquire vocational training entitlements, in CPF hours. These entitlements are registered in an hours account that follows you throughout your working life. The CPF enables you to be credited with 24 hours a year up to 120 hours, then with 12 hours a year up to 150 hours in total (for a full-time permanent contract or prorata for part-time). Depending on the employee's situation, the training course can be fully covered by your OPCO (government-accredited sectoral training organisation), Pôle Emploi (employment centre) or the company. All CERAN language training courses that lead to a qualification (with an exam) are available for the CPF: 9 languages taught in one-to-one, group, residential immersion, intensive and distance training courses, etc.
- The Personal Training Account (CPF) is open to anyone who is at least sixteen years of age, whether they are employed, looking for a job or supported in a professional integration and orientation project.
- You can decide to receive training on a regular basis. You never lose your CPF hours, even if there is a change in your circumstances or employer. If the training takes place during working hours (even partially), the employer must agree to the content and timing of the training. Companies with more than 10 employees pay 0.2% of their payroll to their OPCO for the CPF. The OPCO covers the tuition fees and costs associated with the training. For training during working hours, the employee’s remuneration is covered up to 50% of the number of CPF hours used
