🇬🇧 English

This French decree establishes a financial ceiling for operators managing funds under the vocational training and apprenticeship system. In the absence of a required 'convention d'objectifs et de moyens' (objectives and resources agreement) with the State as mandated by Article L. 6332-2 of the Labour Code, the maximum allowable operating and management expenses that can be deducted from collected funds is set at 4% of the amounts received. The regulation specifically applies to sums collected under points 1° and c of the 3° of Article L. 6123-5 of the Labour Code, which relate to contributions for lifelong vocational training and apprenticeship. This measure aims to limit administrative costs and ensure the majority of funds are used for their intended training purposes when formal agreements are not in place. The decree was published on 2 April 2026 and takes immediate effect.
