Returning from your expatriation
What does this programme include?
How can you finance your skills assessment?
Because this skills assessment is considered to be Qualiopi-certified training, there are several funding solutions available to you depending on your situation, even if you are a French national living abroad
-
With your CPF account.
The Personal Training Account (CPF) enables anyone who has worked in France to acquire training rights, whether you are an employee in the public or private sector, self-employed or a job seeker.
The CPF is funded to the tune of €500 per year worked, up to a maximum of €5,000.
This account belongs to you, which means that you can use it throughout your professional life, whether you are working or unemployed.
As the Méthode Cohérence skills assessment has obtained Qualiopi certification, it is eligible for funding with your CPF.
-
With Pôle Emploi :
Vocational training falls within the remit of the French regions. The Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Labour, Pôle Emploi and the regions of France have signed an agreement and set up a specific scheme to enable French applicants living abroad to enrol for vocational training leading to qualifications in France. Your consulate will welcome you and put you in touch with Pôle Emploi, the operator chosen by the government to provide this service. The regions then provide the funding.

From my own experience and from talking to my clients, I realise that the central question that almost all spouses-followers ask themselves at one time or another is how to build their own project, whether expatriating or elsewhere. Without it, you could be living in a place that seems heavenly to those back home, but still not feel fulfilled or happy.
Whatever you decide to do in terms of retraining or even to take advantage of this experience abroad to devote yourself to your children, the important thing is that you have made a conscious decision about the direction you now want to take your life in.
Completing this skills assessment will give you the opportunity to carry out a 360° assessment on both a professional AND personal level.
