Can You Do the SEATS Course From Home?
The SEATS Course (Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme) is a vital qualification for those working in construction who want to better understand environmental management on-site. Whether you’re a site supervisor, a site manager, or an operative with responsibilities for environmental awareness, the SEATS course helps to ensure that your work meets both legal requirements, and industry best practices.
But can you do SEATS from home?
At CST Training, we offer an online version of the SEATS which allows you to get qualified without having to go to a physical classroom.
What is the SEATS Course?
The Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme is an industry-recognised one-day course developed by CITB (Construction Industry Training Board). It covers a number of key environmental issues related to construction, including:
- Waste management
- Energy efficiency
- Pollution prevention
- Environmental laws and regulations
- Protecting biodiversity and habitats
Completing this course helps professionals contribute to a more environmentally responsible construction industry, which is more important than ever.
