Course Reimbursement Application

This program reimburses local unions who organize group safety and craft skills trainings for IATSE TTF Beneficiaries. A TTF Beneficiary is an individual who is an active IATSE member or is working under an IATSE agreement. The local is responsible for confirming participants' Beneficiary status and making all course arrangements including securing a training venue, equipment, and supplies and paying for all course expenses.


We suggest you get a quote from the instructor or vendor before the training to help you describe and itemize expenses on the application. List only the expenses for which you seek reimbursement. We may not be able to support your application at the full amount requested.
