You can choose to claim partial payments in advance of completion for some courses, usually if they result in an accredited qualification. This means you receive 60% of the cost when your employee starts the course and the remaining 40% would be paid on completion of the course.
If you choose not to claim the first 60% when it's available and decide to wait until completion of the course, the claim must be submitted within 3 months of completion.
Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (OMMT) courses must be claimed at 100%.
Courses which do not result in a qualification will only be reimbursed in full following their completion.
Claims may be paid out where courses are failed but completed, such as if the employee fails to pass their final assessment. We would need to see evidence the course was completed. There is no defined list of evidence. The organisation must provide all the evidence they have of the course being completed. The processing team will advise if the evidence is acceptable.
Once the claim is approved, the payment will be made directly to your organisations nominated bank account within 10 working days.
Payments will only be paid to the organisation. They cannot be made to personal accounts under any circumstances.
Employees moving to a different company during their course
For courses over 6 months, where the 60 / 40 payment split applies, employers cannot claim the 40% reimbursement if the employee leaves their organisation before completing the course.
The new employer cannot claim the 40% reimbursement element if the employee was not in employment with their organisation at the start of the course.
