CITB has announced that CITB grants will apply in the new grants scheme year from 1 August 2013 – 31 July 2014.
The current increased grant of £50 for Training and Development Plans and Short Duration Courses will continue until at least 31 July 2014.
Attendance grants for technical and professional short term courses will rise from £30 to £50 per day with a maximum of 35 days (£1,750) per person during the grants scheme year.
The current increased grant of £610 for plant VQs will be maintained for the first 10,000 claims.
The current premium of £250 on top of the standard VQ rate of £400 will no longer be available for achievements at VQ Level 4 and above.
