Right to training: just a few weeks left to transfer hours accumulated under the DIF scheme to your personal training account (CPF)

You have until December 31, 2020 to enter any hours accumulated under the individual right to training scheme (DIF) in your personal training account (CPF). After December 31, 2020, any hours not added to your CPF will be lost.

In practice:

For those of you who have not yet added your DIF hours: go to your CPF

Create your personal space if you did not do so back in 2015;
Go to the tab "Mes droits formation" (My training rights), then click on "Modifier mon DIF" (Change my DIF);
Enter any hours accumulated under the DIF scheme. Your hours will then be automatically added to the budget of your personal training account (1 DIF hour equals €15).

Where can you find how many hours you accumulated under the DIF scheme?

· For employees who were at the Institut Pasteur in December 2014, these hours are on the DIF certificate that you were sent by the Training Department (via personal internal mail). If necessary, the training team is available to help you find this document (email formation@pasteur.fr).

· For employees who were not at the Institut Pasteur in December 2014, you will find your DIF hours on your payslip for December 2014 or January 2015; you may also have been notified of your DIF rights via a certificate sent out by your former employer or they may have been indicated on your employment certificate.

Reminder – what is the CPF?

• In January 2015, the CPF replaced the DIF, which gave employees a certain number of hours they could use for training. The DIF entitled full-time employees to 20 hours of training each year, with the option of carrying them over for a period of 6 years, up to a maximum of 120 hours.

• Since January 1, 2015, each employee has had a personal training account (CPF) for training; this account is now a right for each employee and will remain valid throughout his or her working life until retirement.

• The hours acquired under the DIF can still be used to fund a training course via the CPF, as long as they are transferred by December 31, 2020.
