Course Reimbursement Application

This program helps defer the costs of offering training by reimbursing 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.


Please keep in mind that funds for the program are limited, so we may not be able to support all of the cost(s) for the course(s) being submitted.


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.


To ensure your application is reviewed and approved without delays, please submit your application at least 30 days before the course date when possible. We strongly encourage you to apply for funding when the course is in the planning phase or when your local first decides to have a class. Complete applications (with all required documents) received before the course date are always reviewed, but please keep in mind that due to the high volume of applications we receive, we may not be able to respond with the dollar amount approved before your course takes place.
