The Individual Right to Training (D.I.F.)

Our e-learning modules can be taken as part of the D.I.F. Our catalogues of training courses in accounting, management and finance offer employees in all fields the opportunity to improve their skills in these areas.

Since 4 May 2004, the D.I.F (Individual Right to Training) scheme allocates training hours to each employee which they can use for the training of their choice, subject to approval from their employer.

Eligibility?

Any employee on a permanent work contract employed by the company for at least one year.

20 hours of training per year.
In some sectors or companies special agreements may exist offering a greater number of hours per year.

Part-time employees.

Prorata temporis.

Employees on a temporary employment contract.

Pro rata temporis for employees working for four (consecutive or non-consecutive) months for the same company over the last twelve months.
Possibility to cumulate hours over a maximum of 6 years.

How it works

Each year the employer must write to all employees informing them of the number of hours of training they have been allocated under the D.I.F.

It is up to the employee to take up the hours allocated under the D.I.F with the agreement of their employer. The employee must submit a written request providing all the information required for the employer to make their decision. The employer has one month to respond to the request. If no response is given the request is considered to have received tacit approval.
