It’s set in stone. The implementing decree establishing the remaining charge of 100 euros for any person embarking on training via their Personal Training Account (CPF) was published in the Official Journal this Tuesday, April 30, for entry into force on May 2. The decision results from a consultation which took place in mid-April between the government and the social partners, despite the controversy that the idea had opened up. From Thursday, each employee will have to open their wallet to benefit from the amounts paid by their employer to their CPF, and the package will apply to each training course followed.
The text, which supplements several articles of the Labor Code, provides for exemptions if the employer decides, within the framework of an individual agreement, a company agreement or a sector agreement, to contribute to the training, that is to say financing the missing euros when purchasing training. Or if the CPF holder embarks on “retraining actions”, and “mobilizes all or part of his points” for this purpose.
A package that will be reviewed every year
Job seekers are not affected. As planned, the decree specifies that the fixed price of 100 euros will be reviewed each year, depending on “the evolution of the annual average of consumer prices excluding tobacco”. This measure should make it possible to save more than 200 million euros this year.
On the other hand, for the moment, the decree reducing access to car/motorcycle licenses via the CPF has not yet been published. After opening financing by the CPF to all types of licenses, including powerful motorcycles and carts, on January 1, 2024, the government decided to strongly restrict its access conditions and as Le Parisien announced, it will not be no longer possible to finance a motorcycle license with your CPF when you already have a car license, or vice versa. The enormous success of this measure risked costing between 274 million and 337 million euros over a full year, according to the executive.
