CITB has determined which courses are eligible for grants, if you’re an employer in the construction industry you’ll want to be able to claim grants when your employees attend these courses. To be able to do this, your organisation must be registered with CITB and you need to book your training with an ATO. Otherwise, in future, you will not be able to claim for eligible courses delivered by companies who are not ATOs.
Approved Training Organisations are required to upload delegate achievements to the Construction Training Register within 10 days of successful completion of an eligible training course. This upload then triggers your grant payment.
To upload the achievements, Utilities Training requires the following delegate information:
- Name Address
- DOB
- Email address
- NI number
- CITB Levy number
This can either be recorded at the time of booking or by completing the paperwork at the start of the course.
Unfortunately, ATO’s are not currently able to do this for all courses that are grant eligible.
The Construction Training Register is an online database of construction workers that employers can access to check their achievements. This is where training providers upload achievements following course completion. This means you can see the training that your employees (or potential employees) have completed. If you’re already signed up to use CITB’s online services you can request access to the CTR if you’re not already signed up to online services you would need to do that first.
The Construction Training Directory (CTD) is where customers can search for training courses that are scheduled to be delivered by Approved Training Organisations. You can also find their venue and contact details.
Only Approved Training Organisations have access to advertise their training dates on the training directory.
