Construction training is a mix of teaching and examination with various different topics. This training aims to give candidates a general knowledge and understanding of the construction topic they are learning, giving them the opportunity to progress onto other higher-level training courses or NVQ’s if the candidate is competent.
Renewals involve the repetition of a full course. If the standard requires the training to be renewed after a specified time, you can apply for a full grant for it, provided that it’s completed within that time period.
Refresher courses update knowledge and understanding in a shorter-duration training course than the original, full-duration training course.
The grant available for refresher training is 50% of the Tier 1, 2, or 3 rates given for the original full-length course.
We will only support refreshers once a full training standard has been developed and is in place.
