YOUR OPTIONS
Find your funding
CPF — Personal Training Account
The CPF is an individual right: every employee accrues €500 per year (capped at €5,000) usable for a certifying training course. Since the decree of 26 February 2026, CPF funding for language training is capped at €1,500 with a mandatory personal contribution of €150 (except for jobseekers and employer co-funding). To be eligible, our courses always include a recognised certification: TOEIC, Linguaskill, CLOE, Le Robert for English; Goethe for German; DELE for Spanish; TEF, DELF for French; and others depending on the language. Registration is done via MonCompteFormation with FranceConnect+ authentication. Linguaphone guides you through every step: certification choice, quote, application process.
For: employees, self-employed, jobseekers.
OPCO — Skills Operators
OPCOs are the bodies that collect training contributions from companies and redistribute them as funding. Linguaphone is registered with the main OPCOs and a partner of several collective programmes: AKTO (labour-intensive services), Atlas (insurance, consulting), M-Campus (metallurgy), OCAPIAT (agriculture, food), OPCOmmerce (retail), FIF-PL (liberal professions). Your company submits a funding application to its OPCO as part of the skills development plan: Linguaphone quote, programme, training agreement. Our team supports you with the administrative setup.
For: companies, for their employees.
Skills development plan
The skills development plan brings together all training actions decided by the employer for their employees. Language training is often integrated: individual skill-building, group pathway for a team, preparation for an international assignment. Linguaphone builds with you a scheme tailored to your business objectives and measurable via our management dashboard. You can co-fund with a CPF top-up to optimise the investment.
For: companies and their employees.
Individual Training Grant (AIF)
Looking to develop your skills and validate them with a certification? Linguaphone has designed tailored programmes that can be funded through the CPF, with France Travail top-up where needed.
AGEFICE
AGEFICE is the training fund dedicated to non-salaried directors of commerce, industry and services (merchants, craftspeople, non-salaried business owners). The annual funding cap is €2,100 per director, usable for a certifying language training. Linguaphone supports you with the application and the choice of a pathway tailored to your activity.
For: non-salaried directors of commerce, industry and services.
