CITB Update
CITB's 'supporting systems' are now up and running, Click Here to see the new services that are on offer.
Training Directory
The Training Directory will be a list of CITB ‘approved providers’ online where you will search for and book your training courses direct. This should show a list of dates and set prices for each course, you will then be able to click through to the provider’s own booking system. Each course will be set a ‘standard’, click the below links to see which courses have already been set ‘standards’. You can also leave your feedback on the next set of ‘standards’ which are yet to be approved.
First Set of Approved Standards
Second Set of Standards (to be Approved)
If you are a member and also a registered Training Provider, please click here to find out how you can become an ‘approved provider’.
Automated Grant Payments
After the initial ‘Transition Period’ in which Training Providers will be loaded onto the directory, and more courses are added, this will then be the sole way to apply for your grant payments.
You will only be able to claim grant on courses over 3 hours which adhere to the set ‘standard’s’ and if it is delivered by a CITB approved training provider.
Grant will be paid if the training is covered under the below categories:
Trade or Construction Aligned - Generic to support construction skills e.g. Abrasive Wheels, Confined Spaces
Non-Trade Construction Training – Training not directly related to construction skills but customised to the industry e.g. BIM
Skills Specific – Courses customised to specific areas e.g. Demolition Safety Awareness
Health & Safety Construction Specific e.g. Site Safety Plus
First Aid training will not be grant applicable, although some small companies may be able to apply (payroll less than £80,000 a year).
National Register
The national register should feature every employee within the construction industry who has completed a qualification from a CITB approved training provider. When the delegate has passed the course, the Training Provider will then be able to upload the certificate onto the delegate’s account.
