I'm aware of the MOU but I have no idea of the amount or how it is used.
As it is now the ATA can't conduct enough Trapping courses to keep up with the demand. There are currently 11 courses scheduled and of them 6 are being conducted by the ATA. The other 5 courses are being conducted by the two privately owned trapper training companies.
On the list of courses on the application form that you posted on your thread there are courses listed that the ATA currently doesn't even conduct! I highly doubt that they'll be able to start conducting them now. The privately owned companies will be a lot busier though.
