Secure Your Funding Now: Important Changes to NVQ Level 7 Grant Support

Home » Secure Your Funding Now: Important Changes to NVQ Level 7 Grant Support
important changes to the level 7 nvq enhanced grant support

If you’ve been considering starting your Level 7 NVQ in Construction Senior Management, now is the time to act. With recent announcements about Enhanced Grant changes, waiting could cost your business significantly more.

Enhanced Grants Confirmed – But Only Until 31st March 2026

CITB has confirmed that Enhanced Grants will remain in place until 31st March 2026 for Gold and Black card-qualifying NVQs, including the Level 7 Construction Senior Management qualification.

What does this mean for you?

  • If you start and complete the qualification before 31st March 2026, your company can claim the full grant amount—up to the current enhanced level.
  • This means the NVQ can be delivered at £600 net cost (pay, then claim back) when you claim back through the grant.

What Happens After 1st April 2026?

From April 2026 onwards:

  • Enhanced grant support ends.
  • The achievement grant value will drop, increasing the net cost of the qualification by up to £1,500 if not included in a separate Skills and Training Fund (STF) application.
  • Even if included in an STF, the same NVQ will consume £900 more from your STF allocation—reducing the overall value your company can claim through the fund for other training.

Qualifications Affected by the Change

If you’re planning on enrolling in any of the following qualifications, the same funding impact applies:
