CACES Certification Funding: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to get financial support for your forklift or heavy machinery licenses through CACES certification funding.
This scheme provides financial support to help logistics workers obtain or renew their official certifications for operating forklifts and other heavy machinery.
Who it's for
This is designed for workers in the logistics sector who need to earn their CACES (also known as permis cariste) or other heavy machinery licenses to perform their jobs.
What you get
You can receive full or partial coverage of the costs associated with your CACES training, helping to reduce the financial burden of getting certified.
What it costs you
While the training itself is subsidized, you will need to put in the time to coordinate the funding process with your employer's OPCO (an organization that manages professional training funds).
The catch to know
These certifications are not permanent; they must be renewed every five years. It is important to plan your training in advance rather than waiting until your current license expires.
How to apply
- Speak with your employer about your need for certification.
- Coordinate with your company's OPCO to check available funding.
- Arrange the necessary training through an approved provider.
