Each application can only have one training provider quote attached to it, and the program indicated must be a minimum of 24 hours in length. Only fully completed applications will be accepted for assessment. Applications will be accepted, assessed and approved based on available funding.

Through the program, the employer contributes one-third of the training cost, while the federal and provincial governments contribute the remaining two-thirds.

Training must be provided by an eligible third-party training institution and must be completed within one calendar year from the start date.
