Private sector companies that are legally established in the Grand Duchy and carry out most of their activities there can obtain training support worth 15% (taxable) of the annual amount invested.
The training courses organised must be aimed at employees who are affiliated to the Grand Duchy's social security system and have an employment contract (fixed-term or of indefinite duration).
The financial support is accessed by submitting a co-funding application.
The annual investment for continuing vocational training comprises various types of eligible expenses.
Calculation of the average hourly wage refers exclusively to the information supplied by the certificate providing information on the total payroll (the "certificate of income" is no longer taken into consideration).
For travel by car for participants and trainers, the mileage allowance is determined in the same way as the amount refunded by the State in accordance with the Regulation of the Government in Council of 19 June 2015 determining the mileage allowance for cars used for business travel.

In order to structure the co-funding application, training courses are divided into seven training categories or themes.
The training formats are varied:
The duration of on-the-job training is limited to 80 hours per participant per financial year. Only training courses for employees with no qualifications and for employees whose diploma bears no relation to their work are eligible.
For all e-learning training, a "logfile" list signed by the participant and countersigned by the training manager or the head of the company, indicating the title of the training course, periods of access to the program and the names of participants should be attached as a supporting document. If it is not possible to submit such a list for reasons linked to IT, the information should be supplied on a similar medium.
Co-funding applications must provide the following information: the titles of the training courses, the dates, durations and venues of the training courses + the numbers of people trained, their gender and their qualification, the identification of the in-house trainers and approved external training bodies or supplier-trainers, the format of the training, the financial statement, with supporting documents (all invoices and re-invoices must be accompanied by a copy of the transfer note, the accounting department's rubber stamp and signature on an invoice are no longer considered proof of payment) or certified as true by an auditor, the opinion and assessment note issued by the personnel representative committee or joint committee if the company has more than 15 employees.
The period of eligibility of the training plan is based solely on the calendar year, i.e. from 1 January to 31 December.
Applications for co-funding must reach the INFPC within five months of the end of the financial year, i.e. no later than 31 May.
No extension of the submission deadline will be granted.
A single copy of the co-funding application must be sent to the INFPC, by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, within the legal deadlines.
The co-funding application must include certificates providing information on total payroll and number of employees on the payroll, together with bank details.
Co-funding applications on paper must be accompanied by an electronic version (Excel file only) saved on a CD or USB key. An e-mail with the file attached will not be accepted.
