Renew My CITB Number

FAQs

• How long does my CITB number last for?

  CITB Numbers expire at different times, based on your approval status.

  Construction Workers:
  Are approved for four years before they will automatically expire, unless renewed.

  Apprentices:
  Are approved for the term of the apprenticeship. On completion, a reminder will be sent to renew.

  Students:
  Are approved for one year in year 11, and can renew in year 12 for another year (if completing an Advanced Skills Cluster).

• Why is my CITB number on hold?

  There are a few reasons why your CITB number is put on hold:

  • We are waiting on confirmation of your training contract
  • A previous employer has notified us that your details have changed
  • A training provider has notified us that your details have changed
  • Your details are deemed to be incorrect, or your application is incomplete
  • We are waiting on confirmation of your employment
  • Your employer is not registered with CITB.

  If your CITB number is put on hold you, will receive a notification to provide further detail.

• My CITB number was previously approved, but I have received a notification that it’s now declined. What happened?

  There are a few reasons you may have been declined:

  • If a CITB number has been ‘on hold’ for 3 months, the CITB number will automatically be declined. If you are still living in SA and working in the SA building and construction industry, you can renew your CITB number online
  • If you have renewed your CITB number and are no longer living in SA or working in the SA building and construction industry, you are no longer eligible for a CITB number.
