If your health condition does not allow you to take your CFA training, you may be allowed to take it remotely. You may also be allowed to take training or theoretical and practical instruction from a distance equivalent to that provided in the center.

These arrangements are implemented after consulting your treating doctor or the doctor of the departmental home for disabled people (MDPH).

The maximum duration of the apprenticeship contract is 4 years.
