An ATO (Approved Training Organisation) construction training provider is a company accredited by the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) to deliver high-quality, industry-recognized training. Choosing an ATO ensures you receive trusted, standardized, and professionally delivered training that meets construction industry requirements.

Here are the key benefits of using an ATO construction training provider:

 

1. Industry-Recognized Training & Certification

• Completing training with an ATO helps you gain certifications like CPCS, NPORS, SSSTS, SMSTS, and other essential qualifications.

• Employers prefer candidates with ATO-accredited training, increasing your job prospects.

 

2. CITB Grant & Funding Eligibility

• If your employer is registered with CITB, they may be eligible for CITB training grants when using an ATO.

• This makes training more affordable for both employers and individuals.

• Helps you progress to higher roles by obtaining NVQs and CSCS/CPCS-accredited qualifications.

 

5. Confidence in Your Certification
