CITB Skills & Training Fund

You’ll be eligible to apply if you have up to 99 directly-employed staff (in addition to yourself/the business owner), you are a CITB-registered employer, you are completely up to date with your Levy Returns, and any previous project paid for by the Fund has been signed off as complete (if any).

You can apply for funding related to how many direct employees you have. Employers with CIS only (no PAYE) can receive up to £2,500. Employers with 1 to 49 directly-employed staff can receive up to £5,000. Employers with 50 to 74 directly-employed staff can receive up to £7,500. Employers with 75 to 99 directly-employed staff can receive up to £10,000.

Micro, small and medium-sized businesses can apply twice in a single 12 month window, but can only have 1 active 'project' at a time.

We advise discussing with your regional CITB Advisor prior to any application to ensure eligibility. After confirming, please download and complete the Skills & Training Fund Application Form available on the CITB website (see link below), and send the completed form to skills.training@citb.co.uk - ensuring that the training activity you specify takes place in the future and not in the past, as CITB are unable to fund retrospective activity.
