CITB Grant Funding Scheme
CITB Achievement Grants Scheme
CITB offers all CITB registered business across the UK and who are levy paying, access to grants.
Companies must be in the Government scope to be eligible. CITB provides grants for Level 2 NVQ's, right through to Level 6 (under the Short Period Qualifications) as well as a range of specific 'Short courses'.
These grants are designed to aid the gap in the construction industry however some companies are not aware of this ‘pot’ of money' which is available.
