For courses lasting at least one full academic year, these amounts can be reimbursed to the Member State on the following basis: 50 % for the first proof of attendance during the academic year (normally at the beginning of the academic year, in accordance with national rules and practices), 30 % for the second proof of attendance and 20 % for the third and final proof of attendance. For those Member States whose national systems provide for this information to be collected only twice per year, or for courses lasting less than one full academic year, it will be 50 % for the first proof of attendance and 50 % for the second and final proof of attendance.\nThe training courses can be primarily either institutional or workplace-based, but must be delivered at least partly in an institutional setting.\nA training course will be considered as ‘successfully completed’ when there is a document demonstrating completion in accordance with national rules or practices. For example, this could be a certificate issued by the training provider or an equivalent document which is acceptable under national rules or practices.\nThe condition of successfully completing a training course shall not be regarded as being met where a participant successfully only completes some of the modules within a training course.\nEmployment-related counselling services can be provided in a one-on-one situation or as part of a group. They include all services and activities undertaken by the PES, together with services provided by other public agencies or any other bodies contracted under public finance, which facilitate the integration of unemployed and other jobseekers in the labour market or which assist employers in recruiting and selecting staff.\nAs demonstrated by a verifiable time management system.\nAs demonstrated by a verifiable time management system.\nAs demonstrated by a verifiable time management system.\nType of operations\nIndicator name\nCategory of costs\nMeasurement unit for the indicators\nAmounts(in EUR)\n1..

Any operations concerning training of registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.\nParticipants who have successfully completed a training course.\nAll eligible costs of the operation.\nNumber of participants who have successfully completed a training course.\nSee point 3.2.1\nFor those Member States listed in point 3.3:\nthe amounts mentioned in point 3.2 shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Operational Programme mentioned in point 3.3;\nwhere operational programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in acordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented\nThe method used to calculate these amounts requires that where these amounts are claimed for a type of operation under an Operational Programme, the same amount is claimed for all similar types of operations under the same Operational Programme.\n3.. Any operations concerning the provision of employment-related counselling services to registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.\n1..

Any operations concerning the provision of training to employed persons, except types of operations for which other simplified cost options have been established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation.\n1.. Hourly rate of training provided to employed persons\n2.. Hourly rate of salary paid to an employee while on a training course.\nAll eligible costs of the operation.\nWhere the salary of the employee while on a training course is not an eligible cost, only unit cost 1 shall be reimbursed.\nWhere the salary of the employee while on training is considered as an eligible cost, the combined amount from unit costs 1 and 2 may be reimbursed.\n1.. Number of completed hours of training to employed persons per participant.\n2.. Number of hours of salary paid to employees while on a training course.\nSee points 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 below\nFor those Member States listed in point 3.3:\nthe amounts mentioned in point 3.2 shall be
