About the National Training Index

A free, open directory of UK accredited construction training centres. Built so that workers can find training without wasting half a day making phone calls.

What NTI is

The National Training Index lists accredited construction training centres across the UK. You can search by course type — CPCS, CITB, CSCS, NPORS, First Aid, NRSWA — or by postcode to find training near you. Every centre listed holds at least one recognised industry accreditation.

It is free to use and free to list. There is no subscription, no commission, and no paid placement. A centre at the top of your results is there because it is closest to you, not because it paid to be there.

What NTI is not

NTI does not endorse any listed training centre. Inclusion in this directory does not indicate quality, value, or suitability for any specific worker or employer. Course quality, pricing, and availability vary. Do your own research before booking.

NTI is not affiliated with CITB, CPCS, CSCS, NPORS, or any awarding body. We are an independent directory. Accreditation records in our database are maintained by our specialist data team and subject to periodic reconciliation against source registers. Listing status may not reflect real-time accreditation changes. Always confirm directly with the centre before booking.

Where the data comes from

Our database is built and maintained by a specialist team with expertise in UK construction accreditation frameworks, workforce qualification standards, and training provider compliance. Records are ingested from multiple authoritative source registers across our server infrastructure, processed through large-scale data enrichment and geocoding pipelines, and validated against known entity records before publication.

Contact details are added when verified. Not every listed centre has a phone number or email on file yet. If you manage a training centre and want to add or update your details, you can do so free of charge.

Why we built it

Finding accredited construction training in the UK is harder than it should be. Awarding body websites are fragmented, search results are dominated by paid ads, and workers often rely on word of mouth or employer recommendation — which limits their options and inflates prices.

NTI exists to level that. One search. Every accredited centre. Sorted by distance. No commercial relationship with any of them.

In future

We plan to attend courses ourselves and publish unsponsored feedback. Until then, we stay neutral. We list centres. We do not rate them.
