FAQ's

Previously, all CITB accredited certificates used to have a six-month grace period however, the accrediting body changed this so that any certificates that expire on or after the 1st January 2016 no longer have a grace period. Candidates are expected to have completed the relevant Refresher course by the expiry date shown on their certificate, failure to do this means that the candidate will need to complete the full training course again. Note:- This rule is temporarily superseded during the COVID-19 pandemic as outlined in the following link: Awarding Body Card and Certification Arrangements during the COVID-19 outbreak.
