How to Assess a FUNDAE Training Budget

When preparing a FUNDAE training budget, it's easy to start by asking how much credit remains. But to make a good decision, you also need to know what the program includes, what problem it addresses, and what amount can actually be bonified.

Three key data points to decide better

Request a budget that explains the duration, format, participants, materials, and facilitation. This allows you to compare proposals based on content and scope, and see if they address a shared need.

Maximum bonification does not automatically equal the training price: it's limited by available credit, eligible costs, and the limit applicable to the action. You also need to review co-financing where applicable. Your account manager can help you determine the exact amount.

Finally, decide how you'll measure learning. For example, a communication training might aim for the team to practice a clear way of confirming agreements. This objective helps you understand what you're contracting for, beyond just session hours.

Preparing a proposal that management can evaluate

To present the budget internally, explain the need with a recognizable situation. For example, if a project suffers delays because handovers are incomplete, specify which competency you want to develop. Add who will attend and why. This explanation helps understand the connection between the session cost and the professional challenge you want to address.

You also need to reserve time within the organization. Participants need to be able to attend with full attention, and managers may want to revisit the agreements later. Making this commitment explicit helps assess whether the chosen schedule is viable. A clear economic proposal must be accompanied by a realistic forecast of participation and follow-up.

Comparing programs using the same criteria

If you request multiple proposals, provide all providers with the same briefing. Compare objectives, methodology, duration, and inclusions. Ask what should be adapted to your group and what they need from your company to prepare it. With these answers, you can better evaluate budget differences and decide which program addresses the need you've identified. This comparison can be documented in a brief document that facilitates conversation with management and internal validation of the proposal.

At elmeetingpoint, we prepare gamified training proposals linked to professional competencies. Tell us about the challenge, team size, and timeline, and request a budget to evaluate it.
