If you’ve been thinking about Construction NVQs, now is the perfect time to take action. The CITB is fully funding Construction NVQs through the CITB Employer Network – this means 100% of the cost is covered up-front and you won’t need to go through the usual grant claim process.  

What’s the catch? Well, there isn’t one, you just need to make sure you’re registered for the training by 31st March 2025 to get 100% funding. But don’t stress, the actual training can take place after that date and  The OM Group is here to make it easy. We’ll walk you through everything, no hassle, no confusion, just a straight path to getting your NVQ. 

The CITB Employer Network was created to make training and qualifications more accessible for construction businesses. Instead of dealing with complicated funding processes, employers now have the power to choose the training their teams need and receive direct financial support. 

This initiative gives businesses a voice in shaping training programs that make a difference. Employers lead funding decisions with CITB’s support, ensuring the industry develops the right skills. Companies can access tailored training, influence how funding is used in their area, and benefit from a system designed to meet their needs on both a local and national scale. 

In construction, skills and experience are everything, there is no doubt about that. But in today’s industry, having the right qualifications to back up your abilities has become equally as important. That’s why undertaking a Construction NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) can really help. 

Let’s be honest, we know not many people like sitting through lectures or stressing over exams. NVQs are different. Instead of classroom learning, they’re all about assessing the skills you already use every day on the job. There’s no need to memorise textbooks or take tests, just show what you do best in your own work environment. Whether you’re a tradesperson, site supervisor, or manager looking to get formal recognition for your experience, an NVQ lets you prove your skills in a way that is truly beneficial. 

In construction, every day is different. Long hours, changing sites, and tight deadlines. We understand that the last thing you need is a qualification that takes you off the tools or eats into your work time. That’s why NVQs are built for flexibility. 

Since assessments take place on-site while you work, there’s no need to put your job on hold. Whether you’re a tradesperson, site supervisor, or manager, you can earn your qualification at a pace that fits around your schedule, without losing out on work or wages. 

It’s a straightforward way to turn your experience into a recognised qualification. With a Construction NVQ, you gain recognition without stepping away from the job that matters most. 

The construction industry has always valued hands-on experience, and for years, many workers relied on Grandfather Rights to gain access to sites without formal qualifications. If you had the skills and experience, rightly so, at the time that was enough. We know & understand that many of those who’ve been in the industry for years, didn’t get to where they are, by solely sitting in classrooms. 

But things have changed. With the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) tightening requirements, those Grandfather Rights have been phased out. Now, to get or renew a CSCS card, you need a qualification relevant to your trade or role. 

That’s where we come in. Your experience still matters – we just help you get the certificates to match. NVQs allow you to turn your years on-site into the qualifications you need, without having to start from scratch. It’s about proving what you already know and securing your future in the industry.
