© CITB The In-Company Training Scheme has been developed by the CITB Specialist Federation Support team to support sectors of the construction industry when there is a qualification in place for certain roles but no training provision to support the achievement of the qualification other than that provided by the employers themselves.. In 2014 we delivered a limited pilot scheme to test out the concept and can now offer a scheme tailored to the Road Planing sector. The scheme is to support the achievement of the NVQ for Road Planer Operatives, there is also a similar scheme in place for Road Paver Operatives. In-Company Training Scheme (ICTS)

© CITB It is available to any employer who is registered with and pays levy to CITB. The training will still be carried out by the employer but he will receive some further financial support for their work in carrying out the training. Currently the only CITB grant available is the NVQ Achievement Grant of £400 per candidate. Any employer registering an employee for the NVQ and entering into the scheme will receive an additional £800 in total when the achievement obtained to support the cost of assessment In-Company Training Scheme (ICTS)

© CITB The scheme is open to employees that are new to the specific roles but not necessarily new to the company. Operators who are already experienced but do not hold the NVQ have to been assessed in the normal way. In-Company Training Scheme (ICTS)
