Applying for loans and bursaries
When you enroll in a vocational training program, you can apply for financial aid. You can submit an Internet Application for Assistance (IAA) in mid-June for the coming year. If your application is accepted, it will cover your studies from August to June of the current year.
To be considered a full-time student, you must have :
+
a minimum of 3 months of consecutive courses;
+
a minimum of 15 hours training attendance per week.
PLEASE NOTE
Professional training is considered to be continuous training, as it’s not offered in sessions.
Don’t forget that the ICD covers one year at a time. So your training start and end dates are for the current year, not for the entire duration of the ICD.
