You can apply if you’re levy-registered with CITB and up to date with your levy returns. You also need to meet our general Grants Scheme terms and conditions.
CITB Apprenticeships
If we are your Apprenticeship provider, your dedicated Apprenticeship Officer will help you complete your application paperwork correctly. As long as we receive the correct paperwork within 20 weeks of the start of the Apprenticeship, we will begin making your grant payments, backdated to this start date.
Your attendance grant will be paid automatically every 13 weeks.
Other Apprenticeship providers
If we are not your Apprenticeship provider, you’ll need to complete an application form.
Download and save the Apprenticeship grant application form (Excel 191KB) and ensure you complete all sections. This file may not be suitable for users of assistive technology.
Please note: Use Chrome or Firefox to download the form. We recommend that you do not use Internet Explorer as you may have problems downloading this.
You must provide evidence from your college or training provider that your apprentice is registered onto an approved Apprenticeship programme.
This evidence must be a government DAS report, or from the college or training provider on either their headed paper or by their email address and it must contain the following information.

As long as we receive the correct paperwork within 20 weeks of the start of the Apprenticeship, we will begin making your grant payments, backdated to this start date.
We will send you an application form or email notification every 13 weeks to confirm that your apprentice is still in training and employment. You must make the confirmation within 3 months of the issue date to continue to receive payments.
If your apprentice leaves your employment you must notify us and we will pay attendance grant up to the date your apprentice left.
Late submissions
If you don't submit your application within 20 weeks of the start date of the Apprenticeship, we will only make attendance grant payments backdated to the date on which we receive your paperwork.
Achievement grants
You may receive an application form or email notification to authorise achievement grant when your apprentice successfully completes an Apprenticeship standard.
You should authorise the grant within 3 months of its issue to receive the achievement grant.
