The 2025 WSP & ATR submission checklist

Everything you need before submission season — validated, step by step, so nothing surfaces at the deadline.

Start with clean skills data

Your WSP and ATR are only as good as the data behind them. Before you compile anything, confirm that every intervention, learner and cost is captured and linked to the right programme.

  • All planned and actual interventions recorded
  • Each role mapped to an OFO code
  • Beneficiary demographics complete
  • Costs reconciled against your training budget

Validate before you submit

The most painful errors are the ones discovered at submission. Run your validation early and often so gaps surface while there is still time to fix them.

  • Mandatory grant fields complete
  • Pivotal programmes flagged correctly
  • Quarterly actuals reconcile to the plan
  • Sign-off captured from the training committee

Keep an audit trail

Submission is not the end. Keep every version, attachment and approval so that if your SETA queries anything, you can answer in minutes — not days.
