When Did You Last Check Your CITB Qualification Expiry Date?

Here's a question that could impact your career and your site access tomorrow: Are your CITB qualifications still valid?

As construction projects grow more complex and HSE scrutiny intensifies, expired qualifications aren't just an administrative oversight—they're a business liability.

What's at stake if you don't renew?

- Immediate site access denial
- Project delays and productivity losses
- Potential legal non-compliance issues
- Damage to professional reputation
- Lost contract opportunities

The Construction Industry Training Board exists to uphold the safety and professional standards that protect us all. With regulations tightening year-on-year, your valid CITB card is more than a piece of plastic—it's your professional passport.

The good news? Renewal is straightforward when you plan ahead. Most qualifications require renewal every 3-5 years, and booking refresher courses early means zero disruption to your work schedule.

Action points:

✅ Check your card expiry date today
✅ Book renewal courses 2-3 months in advance
✅ Set calendar reminders for future renewals
✅ Ensure your team's qualifications are tracked centrally

Don't let an expired qualification sideline your career or halt your projects. Staying current isn't just about compliance—it's about demonstrating your commitment to professional excellence and workplace safety.

When does your CITB qualification expire? Have you already renewed yours this year?

Classroom or remote H&S training – which delivers better results for your construction business? With workplace accidents costing the UK construction industry £6.5 billion annually, choosing the right Health & Safety training delivery method isn't just about convenience—it's about protecting your people and your bottom line.

The landscape has evolved. Traditional classroom training offers hands-on experience and face-to-face engagement, while remote learning provides flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency. But which approach truly delivers better compliance outcomes and risk reduction?

The reality? It's not always either/or.

Leading construction firms are discovering that a blended approach—combining the strengths of both methods—often yields the best results. The key is understanding:

✅ Your workforce demographics and learning preferences
✅ The complexity of skills being taught
✅ Regulatory requirements and certification needs
✅ Budget constraints and operational demands
✅ Long-term retention and refresher training needs

The HSE continues to emphasise that effective training is what matters most—regardless of delivery method. The question isn't which is "better," but which is right for YOUR business context.

BSG's latest article breaks down the pros, cons, and practical considerations to help you make an informed decision that strengthens your safety culture while meeting compliance obligations. https://bit.ly/4rjrYXJ

What's your experience? Has your organisation found success with classroom, remote, or hybrid H&S training?
