Asta Training

To access CITB Employer Network Funding, you must be registered with CITB, be up to date with your Levy returns and payments and be in an area that has an active Employer Network.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, your CITB advisor or Elecosoft’s support team can help confirm your status.

Generous funding: Claim up to £25,000 annually per employer, with CITB paying 70% of training costs.

Flexible training options: There’s no fixed list of eligible courses—training needs are assessed individually, meaning courses not usually covered by other grants (like those from Elecosoft’s training team) may now be eligible.

Low admin load: CITB handles the booking and funding process. No long application forms.

Local advisor support: You’ll be paired with a local CITB advisor who helps identify training needs, books courses, and manages funding.

Open to all employer sizes: Whether you’re a small business or a larger contractor, you can apply, as long as you’re CITB registered and comply with the levy criteria.

Wide range of delivery methods: Choose from online or face-to-face courses to suit your team and schedule.

Join your local Employer Network: This is free. You’ll sign a CITB Employer Network Commitment Statement to get started.

Consult your CITB training advisor: Your advisor will assess your training needs and recommend appropriate courses.

Book your training: Your advisor handles the bookings through approved training providers
Funding applied: CITB covers 70% of the training cost. You pay just the remaining 30% directly.
