Training costs

Training courses can be expensive, and trainees are sometimes required to pay the costs themselves. Depending on the course you are taking and your status, you may be eligible for financial assistance. Ask your "France Travail" advisor for details.
As part of the "Conseil en évolution professionnelle" program, your advisor will help you identify and mobilize the financing available for your project.
Under certain conditions, you can also use your personal training account. To find out more, visit the official website moncompteformation.gouv.fr

Remuneration during training

Case n°1: you are receiving the Allocation d'Aide au Retour à l'Emploi (ARE) from "France Travail" or your former public-sector employer:

If the training course you wish to follow is validated by a Pôle emploi advisor and is in line with your Personalized Project for Access to Employment, you can receive the Allocation d'Aide au Retour à l'Emploi Formation (AREF) up to the limit of your compensation entitlement.

If the training continues beyond the duration of your entitlement to the Allocation d'Aide au Retour à l'Emploi, you can complete your training as an unpaid vocational training trainee, or, if you meet the eligibility criteria, receive the Remuneration de Fin de Formation (RFF) or,
failing that, the Allocation Spécifique de Solidarité.

For more information: ask your "France Travail" advisor.

Case n°2: if you are not receiving the Allocation d'Aide au Retour à l'Emploi (ARE), you can receive :

"France Travail" training remuneration (RFPE) if the training action is approved by "France Travail" (ask your advisor for details) and if it is part of your personalized employment access project.
If you are on ASS (Allocation Spécifique Solidarité) on the eve of your training start date: as ASS is subsidiary to any other training  compensation or remuneration, it cannot be combined with the RFPE you will receive during training.
The ASS will therefore be suspended while you receive the RFPE. Your "France Travail" advisor will analyze your file to check whether you meet the conditions for entitlement.

Public remuneration for training courses approved by the State or the Regional Council: the training organization is responsible for putting together your remuneration file.
Please note: each Regional Council may set up special arrangements for remuneration and/or financial aid.
