Unlock Construction NVQ Funding: Act Before Time Runs Out

The construction sector has seen many changes in recent months. One of which, that has had the most significant change and impact is the ending of Industry Acreditation (also known and Grandfather rights). Many construction workers now seek the fastest, easiest route to secure a CSCS card. Whilst many believe that the CSCS White Card is the optimal route, Construction NVQs are equally (and most often the correct route) as easy and fast to gain access. Thanks to CITB Construction NVQ Funding options, until the 31st of March 2025, if you are CITB Levy registered, you can gain access to 100% funded construction NVQs. What are your options if you are not CITB Levy registered or still believe that an NVQ is not the right route for you? In this article, we explore the most common concerns.

What is Construction NVQ Funding?

Construction NVQ funding is a CITB Employer Networks organised funding aimed to support construction professionals in gaining industry recognised qualifications. Current Construction NVQ funding covers 100% costs towards NVQ Level 3 & Level 4 for Supervisors in Construction and Level 6 & Level 7 for Management in Construction.

However, with the March 31 deadline fast approaching, it’s crucial to understand how to apply before time runs out.

Who qualifies for Construction NVQ Funding?

Funding is provided for all companies that are CITB Levy registered, regardless if they pay into the Levy or not. Some conditions do apply:

• You must already be in the role relevant to the NVQ you are planning to gain.
• You (or the company) must be up to date with their Levy payments.

Why Should Construction Supervisors and Managers Apply for Construction NVQ Funding?

1. Boost Your Career – An NVQ in construction supervision or management opens doors to higher-paying roles and greater responsibility on-site.
2. Meet Legal and Industry Standards – Many construction projects require supervisors and managers to hold NVQ qualifications to comply with health & safety regulations.
3. An NVQ is yours to keep, forever - once it's done, it's done for good.
4. Your experience matters - NVQ assessments are done based on your current roles and responsibilities. This means you could complete an NVQ in as little as 3 months.
5. No classroom attendance is required -?further from previous point, the assessments take place at your workplace and can be done face to face and via zoom.

At a time when so many people worry about the future of their career, assuming there is no support or you may be too old to take up an NVQ, we want to reassure you that we will maximise the funding available to ensure your transition into an NVQ is easier and quicker than you expected.?
