  • The training grant can be used in conjunction with offers from our training partners.

The application form along with the grants and loans terms and conditions, as agreed by the MTA Education & Development Committee, is available here. The terms and conditions are indicative and for guidance purposes for applicants. In any instances where the terms and conditions are open to interpretation, then the MTA Education & Development Committee will have the final say.
