View answerPayments for GLAS training providers have not yet commenced but are scheduled to begin very soon. However, payments have issued for courses that have been finalised for the scheme participant element of the payment.
Of approximately 1,800 courses created to date on the Department's GLAS Training System just under 29% were created by Teagasc advisers while approximately 71% were created by private advisers.
