Is There Funding Available for NEBOSH Courses?

Embarking on any training course can be expensive especially if you are paying for it yourself. NEBOSH is no different in that respect, but there is some financial help available for adult learners in the UK provided you meet their individual criterion.

Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) Short Qualification Grant

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has funding available for the Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK). This grant is available for companies in construction that are registered with the CITB.

Your company can then apply for the grant. You claim through your CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO), supplying them with the relevant details of the person taking the qualification. When the NCC is completed, the provider will update the Construction Training Register and you should automatically receive the grant payment within 28 days.
