What is the OCAPIAT Catalogue?
The OCAPIAT Catalogue is the range of courses selected by OCAPIAT for its member small and medium-sized companies, in which companies enrol their employees directly.
4 Linguaphone language courses are listed, covering the whole of mainland France and Réunion.
Collective actions: training courses offered by the OPCO to meet the needs of companies and employees in the sector. They provide up to 100% coverage of tuition fees and simplified administration.
Negotiated agreements: exclusive preferential rates for companies affiliated with partner OPCOs.
Funding: OCAPIAT pooled funds under the Skills Development Plan.
100% tuition fee coverage for companies with fewer than 50 employees. Above that, coverage depends on size, sector and negotiated envelopes: your OCAPIAT adviser will give you the exact rate applicable to your situation.

How it works in practice
Mobilising OCAPIAT takes 4 steps:
- Scoping with your HR or training manager: target population (operators, supervisors, export sales), levels, business objective, schedule.
- File preparation by our funding engineering team: quote, programme, level assessment, choice of exit certification.
- Submission on the OCAPIAT portal and review by your adviser. Decisions usually take 4 to 8 weeks depending on scheme and time of year.
- Course start as soon as funding is approved, with payment subrogation where available.
Our team handles the procedure, course tracking, invoicing and certification.
