How much does CITB subsidise per course?
CITB subsidises short courses based on their category under the 2026–2028 Training Plan:
- Essential courses: up to 100% subsidy
- Important courses: up to 75% subsidy
- Supplementary courses: up to 50% subsidy
The subsidy applied depends on how the approved course is classified.
The Board will regularly review funding allocations to ensure CITB promotes and adequately subsidises priority training for the industry.
What if the training doesn’t go ahead?
We understand that circumstances change, and you might not proceed with approved training, or the course / activity might be cancelled.
If that is the case, the training provider you enrolled with can remove your claim from our system, and the subsidy will return to your CITB account. You can check the balance of your account at MyCITB.
