How it works in practice
Mobilising OCAPIAT takes 4 steps:
- Scoping with your HR or training manager: target population (operators, supervisors, export sales), levels, business objective, schedule.
- File preparation by our funding engineering team: quote, programme, level assessment, choice of exit certification.
- Submission on the OCAPIAT portal and review by your adviser. Decisions usually take 4 to 8 weeks depending on scheme and time of year.
- Course start as soon as funding is approved, with payment subrogation where available.
Our team handles the procedure, course tracking, invoicing and certification.
