Are the CITC and the CITB a part of the same company?
No. We are entirely separate entities and are only connected by our business dealings.
The Construction Industry Training Centre (CITC) is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that offers training outcomes to participants and companies throughout South Australia.
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) collects revenue from Building and Construction work undertaken in South Australia. This revenue provides the subsidies for applicable training to those people who have a current CITB ID Number.
What is a CITB ID Number?
This is a number issued by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) for residents of South Australia who are employed in the building and construction industry and are eligible to apply for a CITB number. If deemed eligible you may receive subsidies towards training relevant to the industry. Please see the CITB Subsidies page for further information.
Please note that the CITB makes the decision as to who will be approved. The CITC has no jurisdiction in this matter.
For further infomation please contact the CITB on (08) 8172 9500.
How do I get a CITB ID Number?
You need to apply for a CITB ID Number via the Construction Industry Training Boards website at www.citb.org.au and follow the link on the homepage.
If approved, your CITB ID number will be available after 5 working days, and your CITB ID CARD in the mail in approximately 10 working days. This may be subject to change, please check the CITB website for further information.

For further infomation please contact the CITB on (08) 8172 9500.
If my company has a CITB Number can I use that for booking people onto courses?
No. Each individual participant must have their own CITB ID Number and it must be current on the day of training.
Do I have to be over 18 to train with the CITC?
No. However for licenced outcomes such as Dogging, Rigging, Hoists, Cranes, Elevated Work Platform, Forklift and Order-Picking Forklift SafeWork SA requires that a student must be 18 or over to be assessed for the purpose of obtaining a licence.
Also the Elevating Work Platform Association of Australia (EWPA) requires that a student be 18 or over to be assessed for Yellow Card (Scissor Lift) and Gold Card (Multi Purpose Tool Vehicle).
What are the numeracy and literacy requirements for CITC courses?
Sound literacy skills are required to pass all CITC courses with the exception of National White Card. Persons with English Language skill difficulties may bring an approved and accredited interpreter to White Card Courses.
For students to pass the Dogging course (and subsequent Rigging and Crane courses) a sound understanding of mathematics is highly recommended.
I (or my employee) have poor English language skills, can an interpreter come with me to the training?
The CITC will allow accredited and approved interpreters into National White Card courses. However it is the responsibility of the student or agent to arrange for the interpreter to attend the training and inform CITC office staff that the interpreter will be attending. Interpreters and translators are not allowed for other courses as the assessment requires the student to have sound English literacy. The student or agent will be required to meet the cost for this service.
I want to get my White Card, what do I need to do?
You will need to contact the CITC office on (08) 8301 4500 and speak with one of our friendly Enrolment Officers.
