Can you get a Gold CSCS card with SSSTS?

The short answer is no, an SSSTS certificate is not enough to allow you to gain a gold managers CSCS card in the construction industry, or any CSCS card for that matter.

It is however with some sites, a mandatory requirement and a great way to increase your skills and knowledge when it comes to supervising health and safety on construction sites. An SSSTS or SSSTS-Refresher course is one of the best places to start.
