Where do you start?

Stage 1 : Create your account

To get started, you’ll need to create your Personal Training Account (CPF) on the official website:

moncompteformation.gouv.fr

The process is quick and straightforward—it only takes a few minutes:

Click ‘Create an account’ in the top right-hand corner.
Fill in the required information, including your name, social security number, contact details, and a password.
That’s it! Your account is ready to use.

Set Up Your Digital Identity

To use your CPF for a training program, you’ll also need to create a digital identity. This can be done through La Poste Identité Numérique or France Identité.

Stage 2 : My training balance

After creating your account:

Check your training entitlements: Your available credits are displayed in euros, not training hours.
Start with existing credits: Even if you’ve just set up your account, you’ll already have CPF credits available to use for training.
Annual credit accumulation: Your account is credited every year on April 1st, and any unused credits roll over, allowing you to build up your balance over time.

Stage 3 : Choose your training

Once you have reviewed your entitlements:

Choose one of our Gallico programs from the CPF catalog or click here.
If the available programs don’t align with your project, we can adapt a program to suit your needs. Simply contact us directly here.
Click the “Request a Quote / Demander un devis” button to proceed.

Stage 4 : €100 contrubution to your course

Once your application has been validated and deemed eligible, you’ll need to pay a €100 contribution to access your course through your CPF. For more details, read our article here.

Stage 5 : Validation of your training

We validate your training request, and you gain access to your course!

Stage 6 : Certifications

To use your CPF, the training must provide ‘certification’. This means you must complete an approved qualification at the end of your course. We offer the following certifications:

CLOE (English, French as a Foreign Language, Spanish, Italian, German)
ENI (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Web Design)

What happens if my CPF doesn't cover the totality of my training?

You have two options for additional funding:

1. Employer Top-Up / Voluntary Employer Contribution

When you reach Step 3 above (accessing the course details), you can request additional funding from your employer before clicking “Submit My Application.”

Download the PDF of your request.
Discuss it with your employer, who will need to review the PDF.
If your employer agrees to contribute, the top-up is processed directly on the website: www.financeurs.moncompteformation.gouv.fr.
Once approved, you can enroll in your chosen Gallico course.

2. Pôle Emploi Top-Up

If you are a job seeker, contact your Pôle Emploi advisor to request additional funding.

3. Personal Financing

If employer or Pôle Emploi funding is not an option, you can choose to cover the remaining balance yourself.
