When you join a seminar that is HRDA accredited and funded, you are able to be funded for up to 80% of the course fee. When a course is accredited by HRDA, it means that the course has been examined for its quality and structure. The Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus (HRDA) sets maximum subsidy levels. Maximum subsidy levels are calculated as follows: maximum subsidy level= number of employees x duration of training programme x hourly subsidy per participant. In fact, for level 2 courses, the HRDA subsidizes 17 euros per hour per employee and for level 1 courses 12 euros per hour per employee. Contact us to find out if you are eligible for funding and for information on our funded courses.

ERMIS is the new digital platform of the HRDA which covers all operational needs and services by the HRDA using modern information communication technologies while reducing bureaucracy and operational/administrative costs. The digital portal provides easy access to all schemes and systems operated by the HRDA, with simple, user-friendly procedures, guiding the user through the registration process as well as the submission of applications, their processing and progress monitoring, including the payment of subsidies.
‍

At this stage, the digital portal allows external users to register as an entity (physical person, legal entity, consortium, government body), under each user’s particular status (employer, trainer of vocational training, vocational training facility, vocational training centre and centre for assessment of vocational
qualifications).

Every employer in Cyprus is obliged by law to contribute 0,5% of their total payroll costs to the fund (the law allows to set up a rate of up to 1%). The rate is the same for all contributors (all companies except government organisations and self-employed). The money is collected via the social insurance
mechanism.

In order to register for a course, your employer should apply to our training centre to register for the course, using the enrol now button on the course page. Once we receive your application, we will contact you to confirm your status on the ERMIS platform of the HRDA. We will guide you through the application process to enable you to register on the ERMIS platform for the course you are interested in.
