CCP - Vocational Capacity Certificate (Certificat de capacité professionnelle)

Last update : 25.09.2023

General information

Adults who discover or rediscover a desire to learn a trade or a profession or change their professional prospects can obtain a Vocational Capacity Certificate (CCP) through a sandwich course under an adult apprenticeship contract.

The CCP constitutes basic vocational training.

New - CCP Assistant in daily support

The course leading to the Vocational Capacity Certificate as Assistant in daily support is a new 2-year training scheme, which prepares students to support different groups of the public (children, young people, senior citizens and people with special needs) in their everyday lives. It will replace the training as a family assistant (ASF) as from the start of the 2023/24 school year.

This course can be taken after successful completion of the third year of secondary education (5e class), but also as adult training or on-the-job training. To gain admission to this new training course in combination with employment, the candidate will no longer need to have at least 2 years of work experience.

Candidates for the Vocational Capacity Certificate as Assistant in daily support will attend a training organisation for 4 days and secondary school for 1 day a week, amounting to a total of around 600 hours of training. Special emphasis is placed on the area of care and educational support. Students will be trained to work in multidisciplinary teams.

The language skills required are developed over 4 semesters to guarantee good spoken communication in the country's three languages (Luxembourgish, French and German), essential to providing quality care to the people concerned.

CPP through adult apprenticeship

All the vocational training courses organised under an apprenticeship contract are accessible to adults. Applicants may contact the Vocational Guidance Service (Service d'orientation professionnelle) of the Employment agency (Agence pour le développement de l'emploi – ADEM-OP) for further details.

Most CCP training courses are bilingual (French and German) as far as training in school is concerned. Some CCP training courses are also organised in the French-speaking scheme, with classes taught exclusively in French.

Training leading to the CCP lasts 3 years, except for the following jobs, for which training lasts 2 years:
