CPF Application

The CPF Process

UPDATE 1ST MAY 2024 : Starting 2nd May 2024, a 100€ fixed participation will be payable by the student to make use of CPF funds, as per decree published in the Official Journal on the 30th April 2024.

CPF means Compte Personnel de Formation. It acts like a savings account from the social charges that you pay or that your employer pays and you can use it for professional training including language courses. Every year in the spring, your account is updated and additional funds are made available. Allow at least 3 weeks between the application and starting the course. The process is simple but all steps must be completed.
