What is the CITB grant?

Several types of grants are available to CITB levy registered companies – a complete list of these can be found on the link below.

https://www.citb.co.uk/levy-grants-and-funding/grants-and-funding/about-citb-grants-scheme

We help many clients claim these grants, particularly short qualification grants. We are a CITB Approved Training organisation, and as part of our service, we claim the grant on your behalf at the completion of the NVQ – if eligible. A list of the NVQs we deliver can be found here where you can search alphabetically under the sector heading.

Since 01 April 2023, CITB has implemented Grant increases for Supervision and Management specific Construction NVQs. More recently, the very popular Occupational Work Supervision has been added to the enhanced list and will be backdated for completers since 1st April. Great News for our clients!

This supports the plan to move all Industry Accreditation (IA) cardholders to a recognised qualification, leading to the relevant CSCS card. You can learn more about Industry accreditation withdrawal and the reasons behind it here.
