CITB Grants
CITB provides grants for construction industry employers who provide training for their workforce. The Grants Scheme helps the industry maintain high standards, making sure people are being trained in the right skills for the industry to thrive.
Grants are paid upon completion of a qualification.
OVERVIEW
Who is eligible for a CITB grant?
All employers registered with CITB can apply for a grant.
Grants are available to employers of all sizes, whether or not you pay a levy to CITB. This means that if your company is registered with CITB but is eligible for the Small Business Levy Exemption, you can still receive grants.
You must be up to date with your Levy Returns before making your application. This rule applies to all employers seeking grants for their employees.
GRANTS & FUNDING
Applying for a CITB grant
NVQ grant applications must be submitted by the employer within 52 weeks of the achievement date.
Visit the CITB website to find out more about applying for grant.
You’ll need to provide a copy of the achievement certificate from the relevant awarding body (we use NOCN) or your application will not be accepted.
Can any training company deliver grant-eligible courses?
Your chosen training provider must be a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO) in order for you to receive grants. This is to ensure the course you receive is delivered to the required standard by a qualified trainer.
However, becoming an ATO does not automatically qualify a training provider to deliver every standard. They must be approved to deliver the specific course in order for you to claim grant on it.
