Do I need to take a test at the end of my training?

Yes. To use your CPF for language training, training centers are required to include a certificate that identifies your language level at the end of the training program.

International Mountain Connection incorporates the English 360° Language Certificate for our training that qualifies for CPF use. The English 360° Certificate uses the CEFR language evaluation system.

The fee for this test is included in the price of the training.

How much money do I have in my CPF account?

To know how much money you have available in your account, you simply need to connect to your account on the Mon Compte Formation platform.

 

Remember, if you don’t already have a France Connect+ account, you will need to do that before you can see how much money you have.

What if I don’t have enough money in my CPF for the training?

When you choose a training that costs more than the amount you have in your CPF account, you are responsible for paying the difference directly to the training organization.

 

This amount must be paid by you before your training starts.

What costs are included in my training? Will I need to pay anything extra?

The fee for the training on the CPF platform includes trainer fees, support materials, and the certification test. 

 

Transportation, accommodation and meals for the trainee are not included. These expenses must be paid by the trainee.

What do I need to complete the training?

Online training

Access to a computer with dependable high-speed internet access, a webcam, and a microphone.

In-person training

Transportation to either IMC site.

France Connect + Account

Did you know that it’s necessary to have a digital identity created using the La Poste website to connect to your CPF account? 

You might already have a France Connect account, but you now need a France Connect + account.

You can get more information about the process on this government site.

How do I create a France Connect+ account?

You probably already have a France Connect account, but to access and pay for your training using your CPF, you need to create a France Connect+ account. This came into effect in October 2022, so many of you probably don’t already have this type of account set up.

 

Don’t worry, you can create your account online. In order to create an account, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a valid French ID
  • Have a smartphone that uses Android or iOS

Create your France Connect+ account here.

If you don’t meet one of these requirements, but you want to use your CPF money and need a France Connect+ account, here is the information given by the government on how to proceed.
