CITB Grants
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) operate a ‘Skills and Training Fund’ to help employers within the construction industry attract talent and support ongoing skills development requirements. The fund pays for accredited training courses that meet all the required standards across a broad range of categories and specifications. All of our CITB SSP courses are grant claimable so don’t forget to provide your CITB number on the booking form or ask your employer! Further details regarding the CITB Levy and CITB course funding can be found here.
Who are the CITB?
The formal title for the CITB is the Construction Industry Training Board and one of their key roles is to work with regional bodies and institutions to support training priorities and skills development across the UK.
They are an ‘executive non-departmental body sponsored by the Department for Education and are ultimately accountable to the government/parliment.
Are the CITB the same as the CSCS?
Whilst they have many links through their activities in the construction sector and they work closely together the CITB are not the same organisation as the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS). However to obtain a card via the CSCS you must have successfully completed the CITB Health Safety & Environment Test, within the last two years.
