CITB Grants and Funding

Since 2018, ARCA has been a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO), helping companies that pay the CITB levy claim grants and funding for training and NVQs.

If you are a small or medium sized company, registered with the CITB, (not just those employers who pay the levy), you could claim grants and extra funding to support your training needs.

 

What are CITB Grants?

The CITB Grants Scheme provides grants to employers registered with the CITB, (not just to employers who pay the levy). So, smaller companies can claim grants for asbestos training and qualifications for employees.

ARCA can help you claim two types of grants...

Short Course Grant for Asbestos Training
  • A short course grant is paid on the achievement of short duration courses (from 3 hours to 29 days) which are delivered by a CITB Approved Training Organisation, such as ARCA.
  • The grant available is based on three tiers (varying from £30-£120) which is determined by the duration and content of the course.
  • The short course grant is an automated process, whereby an employer makes an application through their CITB Approved Training Organisation, such as ARCA.
ARCA claims short course grants for members on a monthly basis…read more.

 

Short-Period Qualification Grant
  • The CITB pay grants on the achievement of approved short-period qualifications that are focused on the core skills needed across the industry and take less than one year to complete.
  • ARCA is holding Zoom briefings to explain how to claim this grant, more details are available here.

If your business is eligible you could receive up to £600 for each achievement.

The grant scheme runs from 1 April to 31 March.  Further details, including terms and conditions, and how to apply are available on the CITB website.

 

What is the CITB Skills and Training Fund?

The CITB Skills and Training Fund is an extra incentive for employers registered with the CITB regarding the Levy.

This funding is in addition to grants, and available towards qualifications/NVQs, and training for asbestos removal operatives, supervisors, and managers.

The funds available will vary between £7,500 to £25,000 depending on the number of directly employed staff.
Please note that an employer can only apply when previous funding has been completed and only once every 12 months.

More information can be found here.
