Guidance only — not official HRD Corp advice. Confirm current requirements in the official HRD Corp portal before acting.
Employer registration context
Employers registered with HRD Corp contribute a monthly levy. That levy balance can then be used to fund approved training for employees, subject to HRD Corp's current schemes and conditions.
Levy and available balance
Your available balance is not the same as the total levy you have paid. Grants that are already approved, pending claims and scheme-specific conditions all affect what you can actually use. Always check the live figure in the official portal rather than relying on spreadsheets or estimates.
Who to check with
- Your HR or finance team member who holds the employer portal login.
- The official HRD Corp portal for current balances and scheme rules.
- HRD Corp directly for questions about eligibility or your account status.
TrainingMarket does not have access to your levy account and cannot confirm balances.
Common issues
- Forgetting that pending grants reduce the usable balance.
- Only one person in the company has the portal login and is unavailable.
- Assuming every scheme applies to every employee type.
