How does one apply for continuing training support?
Jobseekers must talk to their ADEM counsellor during one of their appointments, at least 8 weeks before the start of the training.
If the ADEM counsellor gives a favourable opinion, job seekers receive an access code (valid for 2 months) that allows them to submit an online application for vocational training support on MyGuichet.lu. The online application does not require authentication (no LuxTrust product or electronic identity card).
When applying, applicants must provide:
the access code they received from their ADEM counsellor;
personal data;
the name and address of the training institution;
detailed information on the training course they wish to follow.
Applicants must also add some supporting documents in electronic form (PDF, image) to their online application:
a letter explaining their motivation for choosing the training;
a detailed estimate of the training costs, including the following information:
the total cost;
the duration;
the start and end dates of the training;
the detailed training programme.
After applying online via MyGuichet.lu, they receive an automatic confirmation of submission by email.
Applicants are informed whether their application has been accepted or refused.
If the application is accepted, the jobseeker must register for the desired course and pre-finance the total cost.
How does one obtain reimbursement of training costs?
If the application for training support has been approved, jobseekers submit a request to ADEM for partial reimbursement of training costs at the end of the training.
The reimbursement represents 75% of the costs of the continuing training, capped at the monthly unskilled social minimum wage (See Social parameters).
The remaining 25% can be reimbursed if jobseekers successfully integrate into the labour market by presenting, within 3 months of completing the continuing training, a regular open-ended or fixed-term employment contract for a period of at least 18 months.
Unless a decision is taken by the Ministry of Labour to extend the duration of the reimbursement, it may not exceed 12 months.
