To continue supporting employees in their language development, we have adjusted our offer:
- 20 hours of English training: €1,603.20 incl. VAT
- €1,500 covered by CPF
- €103.20 mandatory personal contribution
Upcoming changes
Further measures are expected to come into effect shortly:
- Mandatory personal contribution increased to €150 (currently €103.20)
- Limit of one CPF-funded course per year
For HR / Training Managers
We support companies and their employees in setting up language training tailored to their needs.
Good to know: through the EDEF platform grant, you can exempt your employees from the personal contribution and support their professional development. Contact us to learn more.
Your CPF training budget
Every employee accrues €500 in training entitlements per year for full-time work. Entitlements begin as soon as you start working (including internships) and remain available until retirement.
The account ceiling is €5,000. For language training, CPF funding is capped at €1,500 since the decree of 26 February 2026.
This budget can be used independently, without informing your employer, provided courses take place outside working hours.
