CPF: How the reform affects you (and why we don’t use it at EcloHésion)
The Personal Training Account (CPF) has become an essential tool for funding skills development for employees and job seekers. However, recent reforms have introduced significant changes that affect both beneficiaries and training organizations. At ÉcloHésion, we have made the strategic decision not to be eligible for the CPF. Find out why and what this means for you.
What the CPF reform means for you
Since its inception, the CPF has undergone several changes. The latest reform aims to improve transparency, the quality of funded training programs, and user accountability. Here are the main changes:
- Introduction of a mandatory out-of-pocket cost
From now on, beneficiaries will be required to contribute financially to their training, even if their CPF covers a large portion of the costs. This measure aims to encourage learners to take greater responsibility for choosing their training programs. - Stricter quality standards for training organizations
Organizations must not only be Qualiopi-certified but also meet stricter requirements regarding content, monitoring, and evaluation of results. - Combating Fraud
The reform aims to ensure the secure use of the CPF by strengthening oversight of unfair business practices and low-quality training programs. - Prioritizing certification courses
The CPF now primarily funds training courses listed in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP) or the Specific Directory.
Why doesn't ÉcloHésion use the CPF?
At ÉcloHésion, we have made a strategic decision not to pursue the process of making our training courses eligible for the CPF. This decision is based on several key principles:
- Educational Freedom
The CPF imposes administrative and educational constraints that limit our ability to design customized training programs that are perfectly tailored to our clients' needs. - Focus on Added Value
We prioritize tailoring our training programs and providing personalized support, rather than adhering to standardized norms that do not always reflect the actual needs of businesses. - Less administrative burden
Managing CPF accounts is complex and time-consuming. By freeing ourselves from these constraints, we can focus our efforts on the quality of our content and the impact of our training programs. - Alignment with our vision
Our approach to skills development is based on agile, adaptable programs co-created with our clients, which is not well-suited to the rigid formats imposed by the CPF.
What are the benefits for our customers?
- 100% customized training: designed to meet your specific needs, with no set framework.
- A flexible approach: adaptability in content, formats, and teaching methods.
- Tailored support: focused on tangible results rather than administrative requirements.
Conclusion
While the CPF is a valuable tool for many professionals, it does not align with ÉcloHésion’s vision for skills development. Our priority is to offer you training programs that have a significant impact on your performance and that of your teams, with complete flexibility.
That is why we have not taken the necessary steps to make our training courses eligible for the CPF.
However, if you’d like to take an ÉcloHésion training course without asking your employer to cover the costs, we can offer payment plans tailored to your situation.
