CITB Grant Scheme

The CITB Grant Scheme helps the industry maintain high standards, making sure people are being trained in the right skills for the industry to thrive. As an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) all our qualifications are eligible for the CITB Short Qualification Grant.

The CITB Short Qualification Grant can be claimed for all of our on-site assessed NVQs from Level 2 up to Level 7.

The Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) has announced its plan to move all Industry Accreditation (IA) cardholders to a recognised qualification. You can find more information on the withdrawal of Industry Accreditation by visiting the CSCS website.

To support construction workers’ transition from an IA card to a qualification, CITB have increased the grant for specific supervision and management NVQs for achievements from 1 April 2023 as listed below.

  • Level 2 and 3 - £600
  • Level 4 - £1250
  • Level 6 and 7 - £1500
  • Rainscreen cladding Level 2 and 3 - Additional £400
