ITF Member Travel Fund
What is it?
- ITF aims to run courses at convenient venues to meet member demand around the UK.
- However, there are not always enough delegates to run each course in every nation and region.
- Therefore…ITF members can apply to cover their travel costs to an ITF course when the course is not available in their locality*.

How does it work?
- Identify the course you wish to attend
- Check upcoming dates/venues of course at www.indietrainingfund.com
- Check with your company’s ITF membership manager (usually Head of Production or someone in Human Resources) to see if you can use your company’s free ITF course allocation to attend.
- If the course is not scheduled to run within the next 3 months in your nation/region, you can apply to ITF for a travel bursary.
