Maria Eagle: Funding for Employer Training Pilots (ETPs) is weighted towards the successful completion of qualifications by participating employees.

Training Providers receive 20 per cent. of training costs at the start of training, on receipt of Individual Learner Record registration from the awarding body; 30 per cent. of training costs on receipt of a certificate confirming participating employees have reached the mid-point of their training; and 50 per cent. of training costs when learners complete their training, on receipt of evidence of internal verification from the provider and subsequent certificate from the awarding body.

Wage compensation to a participating employee's employer is paid only on their completion of training.
