Financing of training

Financing schemes

The Professional Transition Project (Projet de Transition professionnelle)

The professional transition project (formerly known as CIF) allows employees wishing to change jobs or professions to finance training courses leading to certification in line with their professional plans. In this context, the employee can benefit from a right to leave and continued remuneration for the duration of the training course.

Who can benefit ?

This scheme is aimed at employees. They must be able to prove that they have been in paid employment for at least two years, consecutive or not, including one year in the same company, whatever the nature of the successive contracts.

The skills development plan

Since 1 January 2019, the skills development plan has replaced the former “Plan de Formation”.

The skills development plan allows employees to take training courses at the initiative of their employer. These training courses may be compulsory for the exercise of a profession (e.g. Caces safety training, driving licence, electrical authorisations, etc.).

The definition of a training action is simplified: it is an educational pathway leading to a professional objective. It is now possible to carry out work-based training (FEST), in addition to face-to-face training or partly or wholly remote training. At the university, FEST training can be set up at the initiative of a company that wishes to train several employees. Almost all of our degrees are open to lifelong learning with classes on-site.

Your status during the course

Your status does not change, it is that of the normal execution of the employment contract.

• Remuneration remains the same
• If an accident occurs during the training, it will be classified as an accident at work.
• The cost of the training is borne by your employer.
• Food and accommodation expenses incurred during the training are reimbursed or paid directly by your employer in accordance with the rules usually applied in the company for professional missions.
• The training takes place during working hours or in certain limited cases outside working hours.

How to apply for training under the training plan ?

You can apply for training under the company's training plan. The law does not impose any procedure: the request and the response are freely formulated, according to the practices or contractual provisions that may exist in the company. You can request a quote to present to your employer at fc@univ-eiffel.fr
