How Do I Finance My WiSP Training?



WISP is a French vocational training organisation approved by several institutions overseeing continuing education financing.
Your training may be financed by your Personal Training Account (Compte personnel de formation or CPF in French) funded by your employer, by Pôle Emploi if you are a job seeker, or by a Training Insurance Fund (FAF in French) if you are self-employed. It all depends on your status at the time of your application.
Funding through Pôle Emploi.
Are you a job seeker? All of our training programs are registered with Pôle Emploi. You may be eligible for funding after your application has been approved by the referring agency. You have two options: funding through your CPF (when the training program is registered with CPF) or full funding through Pôle Emploi. In the latter case, we invite you to contact your Pôle Emploi counselor who will guide you through the necessary steps.
Funding through your employer.
The Skills Development Plan
Are you an employee? The skills development plan includes all the training activities defined as part of the company's personnel management policy. The employer is fully responsible for developing the skills development plan. An employee may request to attend a training course included in the company's skills development plan. In this case, the response is formulated according to the company's practices or contractual provisions. If the employer agrees, the employee's training leave is considered as normal execution of the employment contract. The cost of training is fully covered by the company.
