Do you want to become a wage portage trainer? It is entirely possible to work as an independent wage portage trainer and thus benefit from the status of a wage ported employee. However, becoming a wage ported trainer involves a specific way of operating. That’s why, at Weepo, specializing in wage portage, we provide you with everything you need to know to become a trainer consultant: the steps to become a wage ported trainer along with the aspects of portage and the criteria for choosing your wage portage company.
The independent trainer is responsible for transmitting know-how and behavior through training modules, often based on theoretical courses.

To select the wage portage company suited to your status as a trainer consultant, you should examine several criteria.
Target a wage portage company that respects regulations related to salary: payment of salaries, paid leave, precariousness bonuses… Feel free to check reviews from other wage ported employees before making your choice.
Opt for a wage portage company that is completely transparent about its cost policy. It should clearly communicate its commission rate, management fees, and the cost of social security contributions… At Weepo, for example, we commit to transparent support, with no hidden fees, to offer trainers simple and clear management.
Choose a flexible wage portage company that can adapt to your needs. Check the responsiveness of customer service, acceptance of various payment methods, and their management capabilities (possibility of issuing specific invoices…). At Weepo, as a wage port consultant, you have access to an online tool with a very intuitive interface that centralizes all your management (billing, contracts, leave…).
If you wish, you can go with a wage portage company specialized in the training sector. It can help you improve your offer or guide you to the best platforms to sell your training.
Wage portage is based on a tripartite relationship between the wage ported employee (independent trainer), their clients (students and learners), and the wage portage company. As a wage ported trainer, you find your missions. Once your mission is secured, you sign an employment contract with your wage portage company. In turn, the wage portage company signs a training contract with your learner clients, allowing you to start organizing your training sessions smoothly.

Unlike independent trainers, wage port consultants receive a monthly salary like any other regular employees. The wage ported employee first sets their TJM (average daily rate), and the wage port company takes care of paying them, considering their social security contributions, employer contributions, and income tax to determine their net salary.

A wage portage company offers you more opportunities to develop your training activity than a training organization. It provides you with comprehensive support to handle all the administrative procedures related to your trainer status: declarations to the DRTEPF or the DIRECCTE, establishing your training agreements, assessments, and training certificates… With the status of a wage ported employee, you benefit from more time to devote to your training program while maintaining your autonomy.
