Apprenticeship Travel and Accommodation Funding ‘Travel to Train’

CITB is widening the support offer for employers with apprentices who must “Travel to Train”. CITB will fund 80% of accommodation costs for eligible apprentices with grant eligible employers who attend colleges or training providers where overnight stays and travel to and from a hotel to a place of training, are required.

Employers can also claim excess costs for apprentice travel where the cost exceeds £30 per week.

Accommodation funding and/or travel costs can only be claimed for apprentices employed by CITB registered, grant eligible employers in England, Scotland and Wales.

If you would like more information about accommodation funding for your apprentices or about how to claim travel costs, email your enquiry to: ApprenticeAccom.TravelSupport@citb.co.uk
