Providing employers in the construction industry with grants to train their workers

Arco Professional Safety Services are delighted to share that we are an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) and can offer you the opportunity to apply for CITB grants. 

Our aim is to build a stronger more resilient workforce in the construction industry, by providing training that has been quality-assured by CITB.

Booking training with an ATO means that eligible employers in the construction industry are entitled to claim grants towards training costs. This can be construction-specific training, health and safety related, or management/supervisory training.  

Once a course has been completed, there is a 10-day window to make grant claims to the ATO. Once processed by CITB an automatic payment will be made back to you directly.

Construction Training Directory

The Construction Training Directory is an online catalogue of courses where individuals or employers can search for a course and find an ATO they can book with.  This search can be done by anyone as you do not need a log in to access the information. All the courses listed are approved by CITB which means they are eligible for CITB grants for employers and they will be delivered to a defined standard that has been developed within the industry.


Construction Training Register

The Construction Training Register (CTR) is an online database containing individuals training qualifications.   This is where the ATO will upload individual achievements.  Once the achievement has been uploaded It will take CITB 48 hours to process. After this time the individual or employer can log in and search for the relevant qualification to prove the individual has completed that course.


If you would like us to make a claim for a course you are booking with us, then please make a note on your booking form and we will send you our ATO Grant Claim form to complete with the details we require.  If you are booking through our website, then please drop us an email to info@arcoservices.co.uk
