Personal training account: can you give your credit to a relative?

In its response published on May 25, 2021, the Ministry of Labor stated that such a transfer is not possible. He pointed out that the MyAccountTraining rights system was based on the principle of solidarity. Indeed, the Law of 5 September 2018 on the freedom to choose one's professional future established an individual right that can be used by any employee throughout his working life, including in periods of unemployment, to take a certified training course. The CPF is automatically funded at the beginning of the year following the year worked and these rights remain vested even in the event of a change of employer. These rights are thus linked to the employee's working life and may not be the subject of a donation.

Moreover, these rights are underpinned by a pooled fund that derives from the compulsory contribution of vocational training paid by companies, and that today provides funding for more than one million account holders per year. CPF entitlements are based on this contribution to cover the requests of the beneficiaries as part of an individual training approach and, as such, cannot become transferable.
