At MBO Safety Services, we know that keeping your workforce safe is not just a legal requirement but a core part of running a responsible and efficient organisation. With recent changes to CITB funding routes, many employers are now asking how this affects their access to accredited asbestos training. Here is a clear breakdown of what has changed, what funding is available, and how MBO Safety Services can support you every step of the way.
CITB Employer Networks: A New Route for Short Course Funding
Funding for most short courses is now delivered through CITB Employer Networks, a scheme designed to give employers more control over how training is sourced and delivered. For UKATA courses that are mapped to CITB standards, CITB will contribute up to fifty per cent of the training cost, making accredited asbestos training more accessible than ever.
Alongside this, CITB continues to offer fixed grant values for key asbestos qualifications:
- Asbestos Awareness — £60 per learner
- Asbestos Awareness Refresher — £30 per learner
These grants remain a valuable support mechanism for employers who are committed to maintaining high standards of safety and compliance.
