The HRD Corp Claim Process

1. Select a course and the training type. Ask Kognifi for a quotation. The documents Kognifi sends are listed under “What Kognifi does for you here” below.
2. Your organisation applies for the grant on e-TRiS with these documents, before the training starts. Apply at least 14 calendar days before an in-house class. A public class needs 3 calendar days until 31 December 2026. (HRD Corp Grant Helper, page 2) (HRD Corp: HRD Corp Claimable Courses)
3. In-house training can start 14 days after grant approval. Public training can start 3 days after grant approval from 15 June to 31 December 2026; from 1 January 2027 the 14-day rule applies. The training starts within 90 calendar days after this period. (HRD Corp: HRD Corp Claimable Courses)
4. The employer does not pay the training fee to the training provider. HRD Corp pays the course fee to the training provider after it approves the claim, from the employer’s levy. (HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix guidebook, January 2026)
5. During the training, the participants sign the T3 attendance form. After the training, an officer of your organisation at manager level or higher, for example the HR manager, signs the JD14 form. (HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix guidebook, January 2026)
6. Kognifi submits the claim to HRD Corp, with an invoice issued to HRD Corp. (HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix, November 2025)
7. Claims go to HRD Corp within six months from the last day of training. (HRD Corp: HRD Corp Claimable Courses)
