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.
Your SSSTS certificate is valid for five years. To remain qualified, you must complete the SSSTS Refresher before it expires. This ensures you stay informed of current legislation, site safety practices, and supervisory responsibilities.
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.
The SSSTS refresher training takes place over one full day. It includes interactive discussions, up-to-date guidance on legislation, and practical examples tailored for supervisors in the construction sector.
If your original certificate has expired, you’ll need to retake the full two-day SSSTS course instead of the refresher. It’s important to keep your certification up to date to avoid gaps in qualification.
Yes, eligible employers can claim a £70 Tier 2 CITB grant. This helps offset training costs and supports ongoing workforce development in the construction industry.
