Language courses with CPF

Lifelong learning

Throughout your working life in France, you can build up funds for training through your CPF (Personal Training Account). This helps you develop skills and advance your career, all the way from your first job to retirement.

Training budget

The amount credited to your CPF each year depends on your employment status. Employees typically receive €500 annually, reaching a maximum of €5,000. For low-skilled workers or those with disabilities, the annual amount is €800, accumulating up to €8,000.

A future investment

You can access language courses with CPF for up to 5 years (with 24 hours per year initially), and then continue accumulating funds for future courses (up to a 12-hour annual limit and a total of 150 hours).

Certified skills

These approved programs typically involve an exam or assessment at the end, like the TOEIC language test or the CLOE test. Passing a certification is a requirement to complete the training program and potentially use your CPF funds towards it.

Future changes

The French government is currently reforming training laws, which may affect how the CPF operates in the future.
