Advisory Group on Administrative Training
Application for training funds

NOTES FOR APPLICANTS:

(i)	The AGAT training budget provides funds for training professional services staff in the Unified Administrative Service.  It does not include funds for the reimbursement of travel expenses, which should be claimed by submitting the usual expenses form.  

(ii)	Normally, the allocation of funds is decided in three gathered fields, one in each term.

(iii)	The allocation is at the Registrary’s discretion.  She takes into account the spread of funds across the Sections and Divisions to try, where possible, to ensure a balanced spread.

(iv)	There is a limit of £1,000 per person, per year.  In some circumstances, where the cost of a course is more than £1,000, the Registrary may agree to spread the cost over two or more years.  A clear request for such treatment must be made on the application.

(v)	The University will normally seek reimbursement in the event of an individual leaving employment as below (from the date the funds are drawn down):

	Departure within the first year	100% 
	Departure within the second year	66%
	Departure within the third year	33%
