In November 2019, the French Employment Ministry launched the application MonCompteFormation, the app that manages the CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation), government-funded professional training program. This app was designed to provide salaried employees and the unemployed with the opportunity to be more independent in managing their professional training.
A new version of the MonCompteFormation application was made available at the beginning of February 2021. With this latest update came new functionalities. Let’s take a look at those and a quick summary of the app’s first year.
New Functionalities
Over the course of February and March the MonCompteFormation application will include 2 new main functions primarily focused on evaluations and searching.
Evaluations: This month, app users will be able to see evaluation scores for 5 main criteria for each training program.
Each training program is now evaluated based on the following:
-
- Welcome
- Training content
- Trainers
- Training materials
- Trainee support
Searching: In addition to the current search capabilities, the ability to search by evaluation scores will also be made available. Trainees will be able to search based on the above evaluation criteria.

The Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC) administrator of MonCompteFormation has announced a summary of its usage after one year. Not only did the app increase CPF usage but the COVID crisis also contributed to increased training expenses.

-
- 1,83 million downloads
- 12,53 million active profiles
- 17,000 training organisms listed
