Expenditure to be included in GTE is the budgetary provision available for all training related expenditure. This will include; fees paid to external providers, revenue and overhead costs of 'in-house' training facilities, fees paid for external training facilities/venues etc., training subscriptions and levies, other direct training related expenditure. It does not include member's allowances/expenses whilst undergoing training.
