Commonly asked Questions
How long are CITB accredited certificates valid for?
Five years
​
Do CITB accredited certificates have a grace period?
Previously, all CITB accredited certificates used to have
a six-month grace period however, the accrediting body
changed this so that any certificates that expire on or
after the 1st January 2016 no longer have a grace period.
Candidates are expected to have completed the relevant
refresher course by the expiry date shown on their certificate. Failure to do this means that the candidate will need to complete the full training course again.
With these new grace period rules, what happens if my CITB course gets cancelled and my certificate expires?
Should a course be cancelled, candidates will need to submit proof to the CITB that they have exceeded the expiry date on their certificate through no fault of their own. If the candidate has a successful appeal, the CITB usually grants a thirty-day extension on the candidate’s certificate so that they can then book onto a refresher course.
Can CITB accredited courses be run at our own venue?
CITB courses can be run as a dedicated course at your own venue. CITB rules dictate that between four and twenty candidates can attend each course.
Are there any pre-requisites for the CITB Health & Safety Awareness course?
Candidates must have a good understanding of spoken and written English in order to attend this course.
Will the CITB Health & Safety Awareness course get me the CSCS Green card?
Candidates must complete both the one-day CITB Health and Safety Awareness course and a CSCS Health, Safety and Environment test in order to apply for the CSCS Labourers Green card.
Do I need to have to have taken a CITB Site Supervisor course before taking the CITB Site Management course?
Candidates do not have to undertake the supervisor qualification prior to taking the management course. Experience managing or supervising a site is an advantage but candidates do not have to have achieved any previous qualifications prior to attending the course.
