Frequently Asked Questions about HRDF claimable training
How are HRDF claims processed?
To process an HRDF claim, employers must first apply for a training grant via the e-TRiS portal at least one day before the training begins. After training completion, employers submit their claim, including relevant documents such as invoices, receipts, and attendance records, also through e-TRiS. Claims must be submitted within six months of completing the training. Once submitted, HRD Corp reviews the documentation for approval, and upon successful verification, reimburses eligible training expenses directly to the employer.
Who is eligible to claim HRDF for training?
Employers registered with the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) are eligible to claim HRDF for approved training programmes. Eligible employers must be current on their levy payments and choose HRDF-approved courses from registered providers. The British Council is a registered and HRDF-approved training provider, making it a trusted choice for employers looking to invest in team development.
Can training fees be claimed in full through HRDF?
HRDF typically covers a significant portion of the training fees for eligible programmes, but the exact amount depends on the company’s HRDF levy balance and the approved funding structure. Employers may still need to cover some portion of the training costs. Checking the current balance and approved funding details on the e-TRiS portal will provide clarity on what can be claimed.
