8.8 Training cost and incentive payment

Table 1 of Section 3.2.2.4 of the DDU-GKY Guidelines detail the unit training cost and other cost component that are applicable under the programme. The Guidelines also provide for training to range from 576 hours onwards. The SOP under SI 8.4A1: ‘Rates for payment of training cost, entitlements to the candidates and incentives’ details the hourly rates for the training cost and various other cost components.

The incentives as detailed in the Guidelines (retention, career progression and overseas placement) are also consolidated along with the rates in SI 8.4A1.

The training and support cost will be payable as per performance and not expenditure. The prescribed heads are those detailed under item C of SI 8.10B.
