The Federal Ministry of Education (FME) TVET Disbursement System manages stipend and training fee payments for beneficiaries and Training Service Providers across Nigeria's vocational education programme — from attendance tracking to final payment confirmation.
From enrolling trainees to paying TSPs — every step of the TVET disbursement process is managed in one secure, government-grade platform.
Organise training programmes into cohorts (like semesters) with individual skill runs per TSP. Each skill has its own start date, duration, and end date — cohorts stay open until all skill runs complete.
Beneficiaries only qualify for stipend payments when they meet the attendance cutoff for their skill run. Monthly attendance records are uploaded via Excel and automatically scored per trainee.
The system pays both beneficiaries (stipends) and Training Service Providers (training fees) from the same batch. Rates are configurable at state, cohort, or TSP level with a clear priority hierarchy.
Set default payment amounts at the state level, override them per cohort skill, or fine-tune per individual TSP. The system always resolves the most specific rate — no uniform payments forced on anyone.
Track every TSP's training history across cohorts. When a TSP completes a skill run they become eligible for re-enrolment in the next cohort — the system flags this automatically.
Generate payment batches per cohort skill run. The system calculates who qualifies based on attendance, resolves the correct rate for each payee, and produces a ready-to-process disbursement list.
A clear five-step workflow that mirrors how TVET programmes actually run on the ground.
Create a training cohort with a default start date. Register TSPs and assign them to the skills they will deliver within that cohort.
Upload trainee records via Excel. Each beneficiary is linked to a TSP and a specific skill run. The system validates bank details and prevents duplicates.
Each month, upload attendance sheets per skill run. The system calculates each trainee's attendance percentage and flags those who meet the payment cutoff.
Create a batch for a skill run. The system automatically includes all qualifying beneficiaries and the TSP, resolving the correct payment rate for each.
Beneficiaries only get paid when they show up. Upload monthly attendance sheets per skill run and the system does the rest — calculating percentages, flagging qualifiers, and blocking payments for those who fall short.

The FME TVET Disbursement System ensures that every naira reaches the right person — verified by attendance, governed by configurable rates, and tracked from batch creation to final confirmation.
