Construction Industry Training

In our experience most construction companies are not claiming their full entitlement to grants. By outsourcing your training management to Helmsman you will be saving yourself a good deal of money and stress.

Making grant applications is a very complex area and many thousands of pounds are lost by companies that don't know the subtleties of the system. Using a CITB/Construction Skills Training Plan is the way to maximise these Grants and we take care all of the bureaucracy associated with doing this.

We will help you to:

• Identify your training requirements
• Prepare an annual Training Plan
• Submit the plan to the CITB/Construction Skills
• Ensure the collection of maximum claims on all training courses
• Reconcile the Training Plan at half year and year end
• Deal with the CITB/ConstructionSkills audit and agree monies due
• Prepare reports and other administration as required

We have recently claimed over £15,000 for a large house-builder who had made no claims in the previous year - and we could have trebled that if we had been managing the process from the start!

CSCS and CPCS Cards

Keeping up to date with Cards is an area where our expertise can remove the stress from your agenda. With more companies requiring proof of competence, applying for and renewing these accreditations can become a full time job! Here at Helmsman, where we deal with these applications on a daily basis, our expertise can remove that stress.

We are specialists in dealing with all aspects of making an application, including:

• Booking Health & Safety Touch Screen Tests,
• all of the paperwork
• sourcing relevant NVQs.

By ensuring you don't miss out on grants from CITB/ConstructionSkills, you could be saving yourself a fortune every year!

Since 1998 we have been organising and managing training for our construction and house-building industry clients and we have obtained increased grants in all cases.

These extra grants often cover our costs, so you not only save time on administration and management costs normally associated with training - you can also make money!

Before using us, Ward Homes Ltd claimed only £675 in grants, but in the first year of using Helmsman's services we claimed £22,000 for them!

We can help you in this process in any way you wish, from full service to assistance with a part of it - it's up to you. Don't miss out - call the Helmsman team today on 01206 366100.
