Our school is a French government-recognized language training centre. This means we offer French courses that can be financed through professional training budgets.
There are several types of training budgets, and at Avancée, we specialise in providing high-quality language courses while supporting our students throughout the entire process: from exploring the available options to preparing the paperwork and claiming the budget, we make it straightforward for learners to access the right course.
CPF – For Business Owners & Employees
CPF stands for Compte Personnel de Formation. Think of it as a personal training account, funded by the social contributions you or your employer pay. You can use it for professional development, including language courses. Each spring, your account is updated and new funds are added, giving you more opportunities to invest in your skills.

Important CPF Update 💶
Over the years, our school has worked hard to comply with CPF requirements: audits, partnerships, course & programme updates…
And until now, the system has been brilliant for our students. They were able to check their available credit, pick a course, contribute about 100€ (introduced in 2024), and finance lessons this way, with hardly any upfront fees. Avancée was paid by the CPF platform directly.
👉 A government reform this year is very likely to introduce a spending cap on CPF financing: for many types of trainings, CPF will only pay up to a set maximum amount (rumoured to be 1500€) — even if you have more credits available.
👉 The 100€ student contribution introduced in 2024 is also expected to double.
This reform has not been acted yet, but according to many different sources, it is coming this month. Therefore, to our students who are thinking about making use of their CPF, I recommend doing so sooner rather than later.
Good to know – you can sign up to a course now and set a timetable for later in the year.
