CITB Grants

What it funds

CITB offers apprenticeship grants as part of its wider Grants Scheme. The scheme helps employers fund day to day training, including short courses, qualifications and apprenticeships. This listing covers the apprenticeship strand. Apprenticeship grants are for approved apprenticeships in England, Wales and Scotland. If you employ apprentices on an approved apprenticeship in one of these nations, this strand is the one to look at. CITB Online Services is CITB's portal where employers can access grant information and services. It brings all your grant and levy information together in one place. To receive grant payments by BACS, you need to send CITB your bank details. The apprenticeship strand sits alongside two other types of grant. Short course grants cover short courses, including plant tests. Qualification grants cover both short and long qualifications. A formal Grants Scheme Policy governs how the scheme works. CITB also publishes guidance about the scheme and when you can apply for grants. New plant standards have introduced standardised plant training and testing requirements across the construction industry, which matters if your team works with plant. One practical point: be ready for checks. Employers may be selected for verification, so CITB can make sure grant applications and payments comply with the Grants Scheme rules.
