Section 2: Training contract between a natural person and a training organisation.

When a natural person undertakes training, on an individual basis and at their own expense, a contract is concluded between them and the training provider. This contract is concluded before the trainee’s definitive enrolment and any payment of fees.

The contract concluded between the natural person undertaking the training and the training provider must specify, on pain of nullity : 1° The nature, duration, programme and purpose of the training courses it provides for, as well as the number of people involved; 2° The level of prior knowledge required to follow the training and obtain the qualifications for which it provides preparation; 3° The conditions under which the training…

Within ten days of signing the contract, the trainee may withdraw by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

No sum may be demanded from the trainee before the expiry of the withdrawal period provided for in Article L. 6353-5. No more than 30% of the agreed price may be paid on expiry of this period. The balance is paid in instalments as the training course progresses.

If, as a result of duly recognised force majeure, the trainee is prevented from following the training course, he may terminate the contract. In this case, only the services actually provided will be remunerated in proportion to their contractual value.
