Training co-funding in Luxembourg: a strategic tool for optimising your investment

Introduction

In Luxembourg, the training co-funding scheme offers a particularly attractive option for companies looking to optimise their investment in skills development.

Although still under-utilised, this scheme allows companies to benefit from a partial reimbursement of training costs, subject to certain conditions being met.

An attractive reimbursement rate

The financial support granted to businesses generally amounts to:

• 15% of the annual amount invested in training
• Up to 35% for certain categories of employees

This scheme therefore significantly reduces the net cost of training initiatives and encourages proactive skills management.

Caps based on company size

Eligible expenditure is capped according to the size of the company:

• 20% of the total payroll for companies with 1 to 9 employees
• 3% of the total payroll for companies with 10 to 249 employees
• 2% of the total payroll for companies with more than 250 employees

These thresholds define the scope of the scheme and must be incorporated into budget planning.

Illustrative figures

For example:

• Company with 6 employees
• Annual payroll: €300,000
• Eligible expenditure ceiling (20%): €60,000
• Eligible training expenditure (up to the ceiling): €60,000
• Amount of co-financing: €9,000 (15% of €60,000)

This type of mechanism allows expenditure to be transformed into a partially offset investment.

Eligibility criteria

Access to co-funding is subject to several criteria, including:

• The inclusion of training activities in a structured annual training plan
• Supporting documentation for expenses incurred (invoices, attendance certificates, etc.)
• Compliance with the criteria defined by the competent authorities

It should be noted that certain compulsory training courses linked to the practice of regulated professions are not eligible.

Plan ahead to ensure your application is successful

Thorough preparation of the application is essential to guarantee its acceptance.

This involves, in particular:

• Collecting certificates relating to payroll and staff numbers
• Centralising supporting documents (invoices, attendance certificates)
• Verifying the compliance of the training courses declared

Sufficient advance planning helps to ensure the process runs smoothly and avoids any delays in processing.

Important dates

The deadline for submitting an application for co-funding is: 31 May 2026 (financial year 2025).

No applications will be considered after this deadline.

A tool to support your HR strategy

Beyond the financial aspect, training co-funding forms part of a broader approach to skills management.

It is a valuable tool for:

• Developing a coherent training policy
• Supporting the evolution of roles
• Strengthening employee engagement and employability
