CITB Grant Funding changes- January 2026

From Jan 2026, CITB decided to no longer funds any Level 7 NVQ and reduced the grant amount on all supervisory and management NVQ's.

However many people do not realise that the Grant funding is still available for cover some or most of the cost of an NVQ. 

Of the NVQ's we offer, all Level 2 - 6 is £600 per person other than the following below:

• Level 2 Domestic Retrofit assessment- £240
• NVQ Level 3  Cladding Occupations (Construction) -Rainscreen Wall Cladding Systems - £1000

The Grant is paid on completion of an NVQ.

The short qualification grant is payable up to a maximum of four grants at each level per individual. You can only apply once for an individual for the same achievement.

Level 2 Plant VQ units are payable up to a maximum of three per individual. The plant VQ unit achievements are also included in the cap of four Level 2 achievements per individual.
