Short course Grants

CITB pay grants for the achievement of approved short courses, which last from 3 hours to 29 days and are focused on the core construction skills needed across the industry.

Short course grants are paid for the successful completion of courses which align to approved construction-related standards, or to approved standard titles where the standards are undergoing development.

This includes plant training linked to any card scheme courses, and the theory and practical elements of the Construction Plant Competency Scheme (CPCS) technical tests
