A Luxembourg scheme that allows eligible employees, self-employed workers and freelancers to take paid leave for approved training. As a rule of thumb, the training needs to include at least 24 hours of instruction to qualify, and approval/limits apply.

Co-funding for in-company training (INFPC)

For Luxembourg private-sector employers: the State can co-fund eligible continuing vocational training investments for employees through the INFPC process. This route is typically employer-led and requires an annual training plan and an application.

ADEM support for professional training (jobseekers)

If you’re registered with ADEM, you may be able to receive financial support for eligible vocational training. This support is generally structured as a partial reimbursement of training costs and is subject to conditions and approval.

ADEM training allowance (Indemnité de formation)

In some situations, jobseekers registered with ADEM may be eligible for a training allowance during approved training measures, calculated based on training hours and applicable rules.

Tax deductibility of continuing training

In Luxembourg, certain continuing training expenses paid by the employee (such as registration fees and professional books) may be tax-deductible when they are work-related. Tax rules and eligibility conditions apply.
