Editorial pillars

Three areas of French training law

Each guide states its publication or update date and cites the relevant official sources.

Employees

Employee rights

Access to training, required employer authorizations, and the administrative steps to follow.

Employers

Employer obligations

Professional training duties, responsibilities, and the rules that apply to companies in France.

Funding

CPF and public funding

How the Compte Personnel de Formation works, how to use it, and the schemes that co-fund training.

Editorial approach

Independent analysis, grounded in official texts and dated for every reader.

This publication explains the general framework and does not replace a legal consultation. Readers with a personal situation should seek advice from a qualified legal professional.
