Can You Do a SSSTS Refresher?
If you already hold the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) qualification and it’s nearing expiry, you do not need to retake the full course to maintain your certification. Instead, you can take the SSSTS Refresher.
The Refresher is designed to help supervisors maintain their certification and stay up to date with current health and safety legislation, industry standards, and best practices.
Who is Eligible for the Refresher Course?
The course is intended for individuals who have successfully completed the original SSSTS qualification and need to renew their certification before it expires.
The course is not available to those who have never completed the full SSSTS programme, as it assumes learners already have a strong understanding of the core principles covered in the original course.
Ensuring your certificate remains valid is important if your role requires recognised site supervision training.
When Should You Book an SSSTS Refresher?
It’s advisable to book the Refresher course a good amount of time before your existing certificate expires. Waiting until the last minute can create unnecessary pressure and may leave you without valid certification if suitable course dates are unavailable. If you don’t complete the Refresher on time, your SSSTS will expire, and you’ll need to take the full course again.
By renewing in good time, supervisors can maintain continuous certification and avoid potential disruptions to their employment or site access requirements.
Many employers encourage supervisors to monitor certificate expiry dates, and arrange refresher training well in advance.
