Distribution of costs

State

The registration fees for the training programmes of the Chamber of Trade are borne by the installer company. However, companies willing to participate in trainings can benefit from state aid in the form of co-funding, either through a direct subvention or through a tax rebate. The conditions and the amount of co-funding depend on the yearly amount of training investment made by the company. Eligible expenses include training registration fees but also travel accommodation and catering costs. Two application procedures to co-funding are possible depending on whether the yearly amount of training investment exceeds €75,000.

Further information on co-financing can be found on the website of the Chamber of Trade under: www.cdm.lu/formation-continue/aides-formation/aides-entreprises-cofinancement
