Why to book training through an ATO:

There are many benefits to using an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) for training, including:
 
  • Guaranteed standards
    ATOs are subject to a rigorous audit process to ensure they can provide high-quality training. Here at Mindset, we believe we deliver to the highest standard in the industry.
  • Competency
    ATOs can help demonstrate that a workforce is trained to a higher standard. Being trained via an ATO proves that your workforce has been trained by a training provider who has been through the rigorous CITB auditing.
  • Claiming money back
    As an ATO, Mindset Training can apply for grants and funding on behalf of your company from the CITB. Meaning no admin stress your end!
     
     
     

Frequently Asked Questions

The Construction Training Register is an online database of construction workers that employers can access to check their achievements. This is where training providers upload achievements following course completion. This means you can see the training that your employees (or potential employees) have completed. If you’re already signed up to use CITB’s online services you can request access to the CTR if you’re not already signed up to online services you would need to do that first.

The Construction Training Directory (CTD) is where customers can search for training courses that are scheduled to be delivered by Approved Training Organisations; you can also find their venue and contact details. Only ATO’s have access to advertise their training dates on here.
