The CITB Skills and Training Fund, which many contractors have relied upon to upskill their teams, is being withdrawn. The last date for applications is 30th September 2025. After this date, employers will no longer be able to access this particular funding route.
What does this mean for your business?
If your business is planning to apply for the Skills and Training Fund, you must submit your application before the 30th September deadline. After this date, the fund will no longer be available.
However, this does not mean that financial support for training is disappearing entirely. At Roofbase Training Academy, we are pleased to confirm that businesses can still access funding for training through the Enhanced Network (EN) funding.
70% Funding Still Available on Roofbase Training Courses
Through the EN funding scheme, CITB will continue to cover up to 70% of the cost of qualifying training courses. This means our partners in the roofing and construction industry can still upskill their teams at a significantly reduced cost.
At Roofbase Training Academy, we remain committed to making high-quality, industry-relevant training as accessible as possible. Whether you’re looking to expand into EPDM and liquid waterproofing systems, add VELUX® installation to your services, or explore solar integration, our courses are designed to future-proof your business.
Why training remains essential in a changing market
Stay competitive: New technologies, products, and sustainable practices are transforming the roofing industry.
Enhance workforce skills: Well-trained teams are more efficient, accurate, and confident on-site.
Boost client satisfaction: Skilled, certified roofers deliver better projects, driving referrals and repeat work.
Act Now – Don’t Miss Out on CITB Support
If you want to access funding for training in 2025:
1. Apply to the Skills and Training Fund before 30th September (if you’re eligible).
