Can you get a Black CSCS card with SMSTS?

The short answer is no, an SMSTS certificate is not enough to allow you to gain a black 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 managing health and safety on construction sites. An SMSTS or SMSTS-Refresher course is one of the best places to start.
