VIVEA Training Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how the VIVEA Training Fund provides funding for professional training courses for non-salaried agricultural professionals in France.

The VIVEA Training Fund provides financial support to help agricultural professionals update their skills through various professional training courses.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed specifically for non-salaried agricultural professionals. If you work in the agricultural sector but are not an employee (salaried worker), you may be eligible to access these resources to support your ongoing professional development.

What you get

The fund offers financial assistance to help you pay for professional training courses. Depending on your specific situation and the type of training required, you may receive full or partial funding. This support is intended to help you manage the costs associated with learning new techniques or staying up to date with industry standards in the agricultural field.

What it costs you

While the funding helps cover the expense of your education, the system is supported by a mandatory contribution. This contribution is paid via the MSA. This means that while you receive help for training, the fund itself is sustained by the regular contributions made within the agricultural professional community.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is the timing of your application. You cannot simply complete a training course on your own and then ask the fund to reimburse you. To ensure you receive coverage, your training must be approved by VIVEA before you start the course. If you start your training before receiving this official approval, you may lose your eligibility for funding.

How to apply

  1. Identify the specific professional training course you wish to take.
  2. Verify that your professional status qualifies you as a non-salaried worker.
  3. Submit your training plan to VIVEA to get official approval before the course begins.
  4. Once approved, follow the instructions provided to claim your funding.
