What is CITB?

The CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) is the statutory skills body for the British construction industry. It collects a levy from larger construction employers and reinvests it as training grants. CITB also administers the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test that workers must pass to obtain a CSCS card. Apprenticeships, qualifications and standards across many trades are underpinned by CITB funding and frameworks.
