CITB Funding! I’m sure a lot of you are writing this off, thinking to yourself “we’re not entitled to funding for NVQs.”
First things first, hold your horses, as a construction employer, you probably spent thousands on training, qualifications, and workforce development without looking at what’s available to you.
But if you’re willing to take a couple of minutes out of your day, we could save you a few quid.
And honestly? A lot of these grants remain unclaimed because you maybe haven’t looked properly into it. Which is a massive shame, because our main goal is make your business into an absolute powerhouse without losing that dough.
You want your employees to meet compliance requirements? You want your workers to prove their competence to clients? You want to ensure your workforce is equipped for multiple projects across different sites?
That’s why you need a Construction NVQ.
A qualified workforce gets the job done. Simple as.
Leaving money on the table is a major error for your business, and it’s all down to not doing the research.
A lot of employers basically think that training is just money lost in business expenses, but we want to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way.
Margins can be tough, especially in the construction industry. Which is why it’s so important to save while you can, and keep that money for your business.
Right, let’s save you some money
It all depends on your circumstances and eligibility, which involves being CITB Registered, having your Levy Return payments up-to-date, and having your workers set up via PAYE. So you’re probably already eligible, isn’t that grand?
So, if you’ve got a dozen or even hundreds of employees, leaving your competence check to the last minute is simply a recipe for disaster, so let’s avoid that.
Getting those proper qualification means projects keep moving, standards remain high and those unnecessary headaches become a thing of the past
When training, employers look at the cost and think to themselves, “Oh no.” When in reality, that reaction should only be met with unqualified workers.
Without proper qualifications, those “oh no’s” mean delays, extra supervision, and difficulty meeting client requirements.
Those problems cost much more than the training, and having that workforce properly qualified means your job is much easier.
It also links directly into understanding CSCS cards, which is often the end goal for employers putting teams through NVQs. That’s good for the business, good for clients and good for the workforce.
We know the score, we’ve stood were you’ve stood, we’ve been on the front lines, so we know what your business needs.
It’s our job to touch base with CITB funding opportunities and deliver those all-important construction NVQs.
Now, even though we don’t directly grant claims, it’s our whole thing to make sure that we point you in the right directions, we want you to succeed, and saving a few quid can go the extra mile

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that workforce qualifications are much easier to manage when they’re planned properly.
Leaving things until a card is about to expire or a client starts asking questions creates unnecessary pressure.
The employers who get the best results tend to treat qualifications as an ongoing part of workforce development rather than a last-minute exercise.
CITB funding can be a valuable way of reducing the cost of NVQs, but the bigger picture is the deal.
A qualified workforce helps businesses run more smoothly. It supports compliance. It improves standards.
If you’re investing in NVQs, make sure you’re also taking the time to understand what funding support may be available.
