Verified 01 April 2026 - Public Service / Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Can you benefit from paid training as a jobseeker? You can receive, under conditions, the remuneration for completion of training (RFF or R2F) awarded by France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi). We present you the information to know.
The remuneration at the end of training (RFF) is granted to job seekers registered with France Travail who follow a training action validated and financed by France Travail.
The RFF takes over from the Return to Employment Assistance (RHE) allowance or Professional security allowance (ASP) where the duration of the training exceeds the duration of the ARE or ASP entitlements.
The RFF allows you to continue to receive remuneration after the end of the rights to the ARE or the ASP.
You can benefit from the end-of-training remuneration (RFF) if you meet the 2 conditions following:
- You are registered with France Travail on the list of job seekers
- France Travail has granted you a recognized qualifying training during that you perceive the Return to Employment Assistance (RHE) allowance or Professional security allowance (ASP).
FYI
You must undergo continuous training to perceive FRR.
The training courses concerned are those leading to a qualification meeting one of the following conditions :
- The training is recognized by a diploma or professional title registered in National Register of Professional Qualifications (NCPR)
- Training is recognized in the classifications of a collective agreement national branch
- The training is included in a list drawn up by the national joint employment commission of a professional branch.
The professions concerned by these trainings are the so-called professions in tension, i.e. those for which recruitment difficulties are identified.
Please note
The following arrangements shall not give rise to the payment of the RFF:
The procedure to be followed differs depending on whether you are a former private sector employee or a job seeker who is receiving compensation from your former public employer.
