After each Regional Qualifier, competition scores are carefully quality assured and moderated by our team of experts. Within one week of each event, we publish the names of the top 3 scoring competitors for each trade category on this page.

Please note: Placing in the top 3 at your Regional Qualifier does not guarantee a spot at the SkillBuild National Final. To qualify for the National Final, competitors must rank within the top eight nationally.

If you have any further questions, please read our FAQs or contact the team at SkillBuild@citb.co.uk.
