You want to learn or improve your proficiency in French for professional purposes?
You have several options: you can use your Professional Training Account (Compte Personnel de Formation), or have your training financed by Pôle Emploi or your company.
Thanks to our Qualiopi certification, all our courses are eligible for professional training funding.
Find out how to access this depending on your situation below.
With your CPF, you can choose any of the French courses offered by the Alliance Française de Bordeaux. Find out more about our training courses available on the CPF platform by clicking here.
Please note that when you register via the CPF, you are obliged to register for the TCF exam in order to finalise and certify your training. The other exams we offer cannot be funded by the CPF.
The CPF is available to all employees, whether French or foreign, working or having worked in France. You retain these rights even if you change employers or lose your job.
The costs of the training are covered up to your available CPF amount.
– Each year your account is automatically credited with €500 if you have worked full-time. The maximum amount is €5000.
– For low-skilled workers and employees recognised as disabled, the fund is topped up by €800 a year. The maximum amount is €8000.
– If you work part-time, your entitlement is calculated on a pro rata basis.
*If you are a public service employee, please create your account on the Civil Service Portal.
The Alliance Française of Bordeaux will assist you for the creation of your account and the funding of your training course! Ask for our French level test and we will contact you for a quick oral interview to establish your training programme.

Alliance Française Bordeaux can help you create your training project.
To have your training financed by France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi), all you have to do is take our level test (which you can request by email) and give us your France Travail ID. Once your test has been corrected and you have spoken to our training department by telephone, we will submit a quotation for your needs on the Kairos platform (an exchange platform between France Travail and the training organisation).
You can also supplement the funding provided by France Travail with your CPF if you need to.
We can assist you in developing a training project for your employees, and create a tailor-made pedagogical program adapted to your constraints (courses on-site, online, in our premises; schedules according to the availability of your employees; budget).
As our establishment is Qualiopi-certified, the cost of our training courses can be financed by the OPCO of your company.
