The CTP offers over 50 job-related courses at the Resettlement Training Centre (RTC) in Aldershot and other CTP Regional Resettlement Centres. A wide range of subjects is covered, from management training in various employment fields, through to trade skills and security. Many courses result in recognised qualifications, while others can lead to employment with companies who have long links with the RTC.
The courses last between 5 and 20 working days and are charged at a daily rate of £26.70, which is automatically deducted from your Individual Resettlement Training Costs (IRTC) grant (see Allowances and Grants) without money physically changing hands.
The CTP also operates (on a spare places only basis) a Standby/Payment Training scheme for the above courses. Bookings are not confirmed until 10 days before the start and attendees are charged £15 per day on this scheme.
The scheme is open only to CTP registrants. It must be demonstrated that the IRTC grant has been exhausted on External Training or through the deductions made from IRTC as a result of attending a CTP course (but not the workshops or workshop modules).
Any GRT available after exhausting IRTC may be used on this scheme.
If your GRT has been used up, annual or terminal leave may be used instead but you will not then be on duty, as you would be if training under GRT. Payment for the whole course is required on day one. The Tri-Service Resettlement Manual (JSP 534) contains further details about this scheme.
