The Provincial Training Allowance (PTA) is grant funding to assist with the costs of living for low income adult clients enrolled in basic education and bridging programs. In addition, the PTA provides assistance for Quick Skills Training of 4 to 11 weeks for programs not funded by student loans.
Students enrolled full-time in Basic Education and short programs of less than 12 weeks may be eligible for Provincial Training Allowance.
The PTA has the following features:
- The amount of funding received is based on their financial need.
- The financial need is calculated as follows:
Costs - Resources = PTA
- The "costs" in this equation are flat rate living allowances based on client category and whether or not the client lives with parents, plus actual daycare allowances, up to maximum levels. The flat rate living allowances are intended to pay for rent, utilities, food, clothing, personal/household items and transportation. The PTA does not provide allowances for tuition, books and supplies.
The allowances are:
- Single clients living away from parents - $532 per month;
- Single clients living with parents - $352 per month;
- Married clients (no children) - $977 per month;
- Single parents living away from parents - $812 per month (plus allowance for each dependent child);
- Single parents living with parents - $422 per month (plus allowance for each dependent child);
- Child allowance (added for each dependent child) - $45 per month ($170 per month less $125/ month NCSB/SCB income).
