The Provincial Training Allowance (PTA) is grant funding to assist with the costs of living for low income adult students enrolled in basic education and bridging programs. In addition, the PTA provides assistance for Quick Skills Training of four to eleven weeks for programs not funded by student loans.

Students will be eligible to apply for the PTA after being accepted in an approved training program. The PTA need assessment rules will determine who is financially needy based on income levels and family size.
