He can thus obtain support for his training courses. This contribution and this right also apply to the collaborating spouse (spouse, partner, family assistant self-employed) and micro-entrepreneurs. The payment is made in 2 installments, on the 1ster in february and the 2ndd in September.

The self-employed worker must participate in the financing of his own training.

He may also participate in the financing of a training of his collaborating spouse (spouse, partner, or family assistant self-employed).

FYI  

a micro-entrepreneur whose turnover is 0 over a period of 12 consecutive months cannot benefit from the cost of training.

The approved collecting body shall be determined on the basis of the main activity pursued.

A certificate of payment from the PSC is required for all applications for support by training organizations.

The applicant obtains his certificate from the collecting agency to which he pays his contributions.
