The development of electric mobility in France requires a rapid expansion of recharging infrastructures. Given the growing demand, there is a major need for qualified professionals. Training courses leading to certification are available, and there are various funding schemes to facilitate access to them.
This article guides you through the various grants available to make your training more accessible and your entry into the IRVE market easier.

• Skills operators (OPCO)

The OPCOs can finance all or part of the costs of training for employees. They are a group of organisations responsible for the vocational training of employees. Their mission is to support professional branches in obtaining professional qualifications. The government has approved 11 operators, each dedicated to a specific skills sector. The OPCO Mobilités is the one to turn to for IRVE training. OPCO funding is available to all employees of contributing companies, whether on permanent or fixed-term contracts, or on apprenticeship or professional training contracts.

To qualify for aid, the company must send the estimate and the training programme to the OPCO. Funding depends on the subject of the training and the budgets available.

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi)

Jobseekers can apply for Aide Individuelle à la Formation (AIF) from France Travail to finance IRVE training. This aid can cover all or part of the training costs and is part of the Personalised Project for Access to Employment (PPAE).

Applicants must consult a France Travail advisor to begin the process, providing a training estimate. The advisor will then examine the application in the light of the applicant's plans to return to work.

• Skills Development Plan (SDP)

Employers can include IRVE training as part of their company's Skills Development Plan. This gives employees the opportunity to take training courses at their employer's initiative, as opposed to training courses that they can take on their own initiative through their personal training account.

This makes it possible to finance training during working hours, often with the help of the OPCO. It is essential to check with the HR department whether this training can be included in the company's training plan.

• Training Insurance Fund (FAF) for the self-employed

Non-salaried workers can turn to their respective Fonds d'Assurance Formation (FAF), such as the FAFCEA for tradespeople and company directors, including micro-entrepreneurs.

These funds can help set up a financing plan for IRVE training. The criteria for granting aid depend on the status and sector of activity. To qualify, simply apply to the FAFCEA directly from their website, no later than the day before you are due to start your training.

• Regional aid

The regional councils offer various forms of financial assistance for vocational training. The eligibility criteria and amounts granted vary from region to region. We advise you to consult the regional council's website or contact a professional advisor for more details.



There are a number of organisations that can finance IRVE training. By exploring the options available and preparing your application carefully, you can acquire the skills you need to thrive in the fast-growing electric vehicle sector.Looking for accredited training?
