Who is eligible for CITB funding?

Eligibility criteria

  • You need to have a construction based business i.e. decorating / carpentry / building etc.
  • And you run some type of payroll - either paying employees or paying subcontractors through the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

How the funding works

After registering with CITB, you can apply for funding via the CITB Employer Network. If your application is successful, CITB will cover half of the course cost and pay us directly, so you only pay the other half.

Please note that if you have previously applied for funding through the Skills and Training Fund, this has now been replaced by the Employer Network.

Registering to CITB

To use CITB funding, your business must be registered with CITB. You can apply via the link below, and approval may take up to four weeks. Once approved, you’ll be able to apply for funding.

Register your business with CITB

Registering with CITB means joining the levy scheme. Larger businesses pay into the levy, while smaller employers may be able to access funding without paying. As a general guide, businesses with annual salary costs of £120,000 or less are exempt. Please check the CITB website for the most up-to-date information.

If you're not eligible

If you don’t have a payroll setup, you can’t currently access CITB funding—but there may be workarounds:

  • Do you have a job coming up that could involve a subcontractor?
  • Are you thinking about hiring an apprentice?
  • Do you subcontract for others? They may be able to claim CITB funding on your behalf.

Other funding options:

  • Split the payment over up to 4 months interest-free via our Online Course Booking Calendar
  • Borrow up to £25,000 over 5 years via the Government's Start Up Loan scheme for businesses under 3 years old
  • Ask your Job Centre about training support as they can offer full funding for training courses and equipment
  • Spread the cost over a longer period (interest bearing) with Payl8r. Check out the calculator below for more information.
