Method of payment

Training Incentive Allowance can be paid as a lump sum or as ongoing payments or as a combination of both depending on what type of course costs the client has.

Lump sum payments

Lump sum payments can only be made for one-off costs (not ongoing costs) and can be paid directly to the provider or to the client if appropriate.

Ongoing costs

The calculation of care, transport and course costs should be calculated based on the number of weeks these costs are incurred. The actual ongoing payment can be spread out over the academic year including short breaks.
