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.

Civil Engineering Training Group North East
(CETG NE)
The Civil Engineering Training Group North East (CETG NE) was set up in September 2000. CETG NE has close working links with the Civil Engineering Contractors Association North East (CECA NE).
CETG consists of 31 CITB levy paying member companies who hold meetings to discuss the setting up and running of local training for members and non member companies for all civil engineering activities, in the North East.
Members take a very active part in promoting training at all levels, with member companies actively involved in promoting work experience, site visits, school based programmes and working young entrants into the industry.
We have close working relationships with current and new Training Providers to develop new and additional course for the Group Membership. CETG co-ordinates and provides a forum for the Member Groups for the development of courses with a view to avoiding duplication.
We actively promote Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) initiatives, services and activities.
We actively promote the use of, and the obtaining of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Card for Member Group Employees.
We actively promote the uptake of obtaining the Investors in People (IiP) Award for Group Member Companies.
In addition to training courses, the Group meetings have proven to be a useful forum for debates on new legislation and issues effecting Civil Engineering Organisations as well as providing briefing sessions by experts in the field of Health & Safety.
As a member of the Training Group, special rates for local courses, access to European Social Funds and CITB grants, all go to make courses affordable. The Group is able to focus on its most important activities, which are training courses for the construction industry provided at the right price, at the right locations and of the right quality. All courses organised by the Group are held in and around the North East region helping to further reduce travelling and lodging costs.
Group training courses are not exclusive to Members and there are many local companies who have benefited by using the locally run courses. As a Member or otherwise all are welcome to utilise the courses on offer. As a One-Stop Shop for training courses, advice and information we hope we can be of service.
