Use your personal training account (CPF)
What is it?
The personal training account (CPF) represents a sum of money made available to you to finance qualifying or certifying training throughout your working life, even when you are unemployed.
Depending on your status, you will receive money in your account every year.
The Personal Training Account (CPF) is intended for any active person:
- employee
- member of a liberal or self-employed profession
- looking for a job
Good to know: Beware, there are many attempts by fraudsters to hack into your account and steal your CPF credits. Have you received an email, text message or call promising you free training with your personal training account? Do not answer or hang up. No public authority makes any phone calls about the CPF.
Never give out your social security number or your CPF codes (login and password). Only you should have access to your account.
If you think you are a victim of a scam, you can take action (see the last step at the bottom of this sheet).
To use your training account, you must go to the official website moncompteformation.gouv.fr.
Good to know: You can also download the “My training account” application to your mobile phone (via AppleStore or PlayStore).
