What is a 2 Day SSSTS Course?
The two-day SSSTS course is designed for site supervisors, providing essential knowledge about your legal duties concerning health, safety, welfare, and environmental matters. In today’s blog, we’ll break down how the course actually works, and the differences between the in-person version of the course, and the online course.
Content Covered in the SSSTS Course
The Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme course is accredited by CITB and aimed at current or aspiring construction site supervisors. It covers key topics such as site inductions, method statements, risk assessments, and your responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Other modules include toolbox talks, supervision of occupational health, and developing a positive safety culture on site.
The Assessment Process
Assessment is ongoing throughout the course via trainer-led discussions, group tasks, and interactive exercises. The course concludes with a multiple-choice exam to test your knowledge of the materials covered. To pass, you’ll need to demonstrate an understanding of your duties and how to apply safe working practices in real site scenarios.
What Qualification Do You Receive Once You Pass SSSTS?
Once you’ve successfully completed the course and passed the assessment, you’ll receive a CITB-accredited certificate. This certificate is valid for five years, and before it expires you’ll need to take the Refresher to remain certified.
Online vs In-Person Courses
SSSTS courses are available both in-person and online via live virtual classrooms. The content, structure, and assessment are the same for both versions. The key difference is delivery: online training allows you to complete the course remotely from home or the office, while still receiving live instruction and support from a qualified CITB tutor.
