Train and Claim your CITB NI Grant

Training is good for your business; well trained employees are safer, better skilled, work faster and make fewer mistakes. Training can also lead to qualifications like NVQ’s and not only do they prove to you and your clients that your workers are competent professionals, but with more and more clients and contractors insisting on a fully qualified workforce they are becoming essential to get you all on site.

CITB NI offers direct grants to our registered employers for support in a wide range of training and qualifications for their employees working in Northern Ireland.
