CITB Training Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how construction businesses can access grants to fund short-duration training courses for their staff.
This scheme provides financial support to help companies cover the costs of short-term training courses for their employees. It is designed to help keep the industry workforce skilled and capable of meeting modern building standards.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically intended for registered construction businesses. If your company operates within the construction sector and is officially registered, you may be eligible to access these funds to support your staff's professional development.
What you get
The benefit consists of grants that help offset the expenses associated with short-duration training courses. These courses are designed to provide targeted, practical skills to workers, and the grant helps make these essential learning opportunities more affordable for the business.
What it costs you
To be eligible for this support, you cannot simply apply as an individual or an unregistered entity. You must be a CITB-registered employer. This means your business must maintain an active registration with the board to access the funding available for your employees.
The catch to know
The most important detail to manage is the timing of your application. You must claim your grant within a specific window of time after the training has been completed. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the ability to recover those training costs through this scheme.
How to apply
- Confirm that your business is currently a registered employer with the CITB.
- Identify the short-duration training courses required for your staff.
- Complete the training as planned.
- Submit your grant claim through the official portal before the deadline expires.
