Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to finance your CFA® training with the CPF.

Unfortunately, as of December 31, 2021, the CFA has been removed from the list of certifications eligible for CPF funding. All stakeholders are working very hard to make it available again, and we will inform you as soon as it is. Top Finance offers interest-free installment payment plans to help you finance your project. Contact our advisors for more information.

What is the Personal Training Account (CPF)?


The CPF (Personal Training Account) allows employees, job seekers, and recent graduates to access continuing education. You have a personal online account that stays with you throughout your professional life. Your CPF hours will never be lost, even if you leave your company (resignation, dismissal, or mutual termination agreement).


Each year your account is credited with €500, up to a total limit of €5,000, for part-time work or more. For work below half-time, your benefits are calculated proportionally to your working hours.


How to use your CPF?


To access your CPF account, have your social security number ready and log in to your personal account at www.moncompteactivite.gouv.fr. You can immediately see the amount in euros available for your project. You can use your CPF hours to take a training course:  

• during your working hours, with your employer's agreement  

• on your own time, without your employer's agreement  

• during a period of job search, under certain conditions  


If the training takes place during your working hours, you must submit a request to your employer at least 60 days before the start of the training. Your employer then has 30 days to respond. If you do not receive a response within this timeframe, your request will be considered accepted.


Funding for the Chartered Financial Analyst certification is available to all professional sectors.


Here is the eligibility code for the Chartered Financial Analyst certification: CPF Code 237111 – Start of validity: 02/01/2019. 


Once your application is approved, the hours in your account are blocked by the Caisse des Dépôts and you can no longer use them for another training course. We will receive payment at the end of the training course once the participation declarations have been submitted.

 

To register for a training course, log in to your personal space  www.moncompteactivite.gouv.fr,  and search for the desired Top Finance training course using the search engine. 

You can register directly on the platform and we will receive a notification. .​ 

If you do not have sufficient funds, you will be asked to complete the payment by bank card.
