Skills assessments in 2026: a model in crisis
In 2024, 83,000 skills assessments were purchased via CPF for a total of €162 million. It's the most used program. But in 2026, the CPF cap at €1,600 changes everything.
A skills assessment costs between €1,950 and €2,800. With the cap, the employee's out-of-pocket cost is €350 to €1,200 minimum. Add to that the 12 to 24 weeks of duration, appointments during business hours, and 2-4 weeks waiting time before starting.
The result? Thousands of people who need career support but can't afford it or fit it into their schedule. That's where Navia comes in.
