SEP Training Support Scheme: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Self-employed union members can access training fee subsidies and hourly allowances to support their professional development.
This scheme provides financial assistance to self-employed individuals to help cover the costs of professional training and learning.
Who it's for
To qualify for this support, you must be self-employed and a member of the union.
What you get
If you qualify, you can receive subsidies to help pay for your training fees. Additionally, you may be eligible for an hourly training allowance to support you while you are learning.
What it actually costs you
There is no direct fee to access the training subsidies, but you must pay membership fees to the union to maintain your eligibility.
The catch to know
You must be a registered union member before you actually sign up for your training course. Being a member after you have already registered for a course will likely disqualify you from the support.
How to apply
- Ensure you are a registered member of the union.
- Find a qualifying training course.
- Check the specific requirements for the course you want to take.
- Contact the issuing body to start your application process.
