This application, which complements our Internet platform, is designed to simplify the search and/or registration process for training courses, skills assessments and other schemes designed to enhance personal skills in the workplace.

According to the French Ministry of Labor, the application includes 100,000 training sessions giving access to over a thousand diplomas (only certifying training courses are eligible, plus driving licenses and skills assessments, delivered by certified organizations).

From 01/12/2019, Caisse des Dépôts will be in charge of financing CPF-eligible training courses. Companies and professional branches can contribute to complete the financing of the project. This is the case for our professional branch, which, as part of its new branch agreement on training dated 10/31/2019 (currently being extended), has provided for a conventional top-up on branch certifications(Certificates of Professional Qualification – CQP – and branch certification courses).

The launch of the French Compte personnel de formation application marked a step towards making training rights easier to access. The CPF allows eligible people to mobilise training entitlements within rules set by the French authorities.

Making digital skills accessible means recognising both formal qualifications and experience gained elsewhere. New tools demand continuous learning, but communication, organisation and problem-solving remain highly transferable. Employers can support transitions by offering clear induction, mentoring and relevant training.
