Support for construction employers
CITB funding & grants for training
If your business is registered with CITB, you may be able to access support towards eligible training — including many of the IPAF, PASMA and health & safety courses we deliver. Funding is never an automatic discount on our course prices: it depends on your eligibility, CITB's approval and the budget available at the time, so it's important to confirm everything with CITB before you book.

The current funding routes
Employer Networks
CITB Employer Networks support eligible smaller employers with training needs. Training arranged through an Employer Network must be booked via the network's own booking team, so speak to them first rather than booking directly and claiming afterwards.
CITB Employer NetworksLarge Employer Fund
Larger CITB-registered employers should look at CITB's Large Employer Fund, which supports bigger training programmes. Applications and eligibility are handled directly by CITB.
Large Employer Fund detailsPlease note: most short-course grants ended in January 2026, so older grant figures you may have seen elsewhere may no longer apply. Always check the current position with CITB before budgeting for training.
How to use funding towards our courses
1. Check your CITB registration
Funding routes are open to CITB-registered employers. If you're not sure whether your business is registered or up to date with levy returns, check with CITB before planning funded training.
2. Speak to your CITB adviser
Confirm that your chosen course, training provider and booking arrangements qualify under the current funding rules. Employer Network-funded training must be booked through the network's booking team.
3. Book your course with us
Once CITB has confirmed your funding route, get in touch and we'll arrange your IPAF, PASMA or health & safety course at our Fareham training centre or on your site.
Not sure where to start?
We're happy to talk through which of our courses are commonly taken with CITB support and what information your CITB adviser will need. Funding itself must always be confirmed with CITB before booking.
