What CITB funding is available towards CADUK's NVQs?

CITB registered companies can access funding towards construction-related qualifications through CADUK via the schemes below:

How does the CITB Short Qualification Grant Scheme work?

The CITB Short Qualification Grant Scheme is a funding program designed to support employers in the construction industry by providing grants for employees and subcontractors who complete short-duration training courses and gain recognised qualifications.

With this scheme, the CITB registered company pays for the training course upfront, then makes a claim for the grant once the qualification has been achieved.

Companies that wish to take advantage of this grant scheme must be CITB registered. This includes small employers (i.e. those with a wage bill of less than £80k) who don’t have to pay the levy.

The grants available for our construction-based NVQs via this scheme are as follows:

£600 for a Level 2 NVQ
£1250 for a Level 3 – 4 NVQ
£1500 for a Level 6 – 7 NVQ

How does the CITB Employer Network work?

The CITB Employer Network is designed to make workforce training more accessible for UK construction businesses. Through this scheme, companies can receive up to 70% funding for a wide range of training programs, helping to develop employee skills while maintaining industry compliance.

To be eligible for the Employer Network, businesses must be registered with the CITB levy system and have an up-to-date levy payment.

This scheme allows companies to claim up to £32,500 in funding, with CITB covering 70% of the cost—meaning £25,000 worth of training could be funded for you.

With this scheme, the employer only pays 30% of the total qualifcation cost upfront, and the remainder is paid directly by CITB to the training provider.
