Continuing education is a right
"Lifelong vocational training is a national obligation. It aims to enable each person, regardless of their status, to acquire and update knowledge and skills to promote their professional development, as well as to progress in 'at least one level of qualification during his working life. " First paragraph of article L6111-1 of the Labor Code
Continuing education is an individual right which is aimed at private and public employees, self-employed workers, author artists (since 2013) and job seekers. To find out in detail the different possible financing mechanisms:
Employees on CDI or CDD
There are several ways for employees to claim their access to continuing training, they can indeed choose between:
- their company's training plan, initiated by the employer.
- DIF (individual right to training), at the initiative of the employee in agreement with the employer (access to 20 hours of training per year, cumulative up to 120 hours).
- the CIF (individual training leave), at the initiative of the employee.
The employer must communicate to his employees their rights to training each year.
Public officials also have access to continuing training; they can obtain information from the training department in their community.
Self-employed workers
Self-employed workers, traders and members of the liberal professions benefit from the right to training as part of their participation in the financing of their training. The training fund on which they depend is generally indicated on the URSSAF contribution call for the 4th quarter, as part of the annual continuing training contribution. Get more information from URSSAF, as well as from the OPCA concerned such as AGEFICE, Association for the management of the financing of the training of business leaders (http://www.agefice.fr) or the FIF-PL, Interprofessional Fund for Liberal Professions (http://www.fifpl.fr).
Job seekers
Job seekers have access to training funded by the Region, the State, the employment center, the General Councils and the municipalities. They can be trained under a specific employment contract including training. Young people aged 16 to 26 benefit from training financed by the Region or under the professionalization contract. Compensation for job seekers comes under unemployment insurance depending on their individual situation or under certain conditions of remuneration paid by the Region or the State. They can get information from their Pôle Emploi referent.
