Keeping an SMSTS qualification current matters just as much as earning it in the first place, and the CITB SMSTS Refresher Course exists to bring site managers up to speed with the latest legislation, guidance and best practice before their certificate lapses. Delivered over two days, it revisits and updates the core knowledge from the original CITB SMSTS Course, with a sharper focus on recent changes and emerging risks.
Since this course covers legislative updates rather than starting from scratch, it works best alongside a broader refresh of related qualifications. Site managers whose SSSTS-qualified supervisors are also due a refresh often book the two together, keeping every level of site management current at the same time. Anyone managing construction projects should also keep the Online CDM Regulation Awareness Course (Remote Learning) in mind, since CDM guidance is one of the areas most likely to have changed since original SMSTS certification.
For organisations wanting environmental compliance kept equally current, this course pairs well with the CITB SEATS Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme Course, and directors overseeing site management standards from above may also want to revisit the CITB Health and Safety for Directors Course around the same time, ensuring boardroom expectations stay aligned with what's happening on site.
Only delegates who have passed the five-day SMSTS Course, or a previous SMSTS Refresher Course within the last five years, and can provide evidence of this, are eligible to attend, with attendance across both days required to meet the learning objectives and qualify for re-certification.
