Our CITB Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SSSTS refresher course) is tailored for those who have previously completed the full two-day Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) within the last five years and are looking to renew their qualification.
The SSSTS refresher course is designed to bring participants up to date with the latest health and safety legislation, regulations, and best practices in site supervision. It revisits key areas from the original training while incorporating new developments and changes in law that affect the day-to-day management of health and safety on construction sites.
By taking the SSSTS refresher course, supervisors reinforce their ability to monitor site activities, communicate effectively with teams, and promote a safe working environment. The course builds on prior learning, covering updated procedures, real-world case studies, and practical site management scenarios to ensure learners are confident in applying current regulations.
We’re proud to offer our SSSTS refresher course at convenient training locations in Manchester, Liverpool, and Stoke-on-Trent, with additional options for onsite delivery to suit employer needs.

The SSSTS Refresher Course is a one-day training for those who completed the original SSSTS course within the last five years. It’s aimed at site supervisors who need to update their health and safety knowledge and maintain their CITB certification.

You’ll review key health and safety laws, CDM regulations, accident reporting, risk assessments, and safe systems of work. The course also explores supervisory leadership, site hazards, and updates to industry best practices.
Assessment is through a CITB-set exam with 25 questions, including multiple-choice and short written answers. To pass, you must achieve at least 80% and correctly answer all four safety-critical questions.
We offer this course at training centres in Manchester, Liverpool, and Stoke-on-Trent. On-site training options are also available for employers seeking group bookings.
