There are strong indications that trainees under the TVET Cohort 2 Programme may receive their first monthly stipend without attendance biometrics being used as a payment requirement.
According to information circulating among programme participants, the stipend for the first month is expected to be disbursed between 5th and 7th August 2026, although this timeline has not yet been officially confirmed by the programme management.
Key Update
First month’s stipend may be paid without attendance biometrics.
Expected payment window: 5th – 7th August 2026.
This information is based on emerging updates and remains subject to official confirmation.
Important Notice for Trainees
Participants are advised to:
Continue attending training sessions regularly.
Complete all required attendance and biometric verification whenever instructed.
Monitor official TVET communication channels and training centres for verified payment updates.
Attendance requirements and biometric verification may still become mandatory for future stipend payments, even if they are not applied to the first month’s disbursement.
