CITB SMSTS Refresher Course

As a result of the lockdown, we’re now offering both the SMSTS and SMSTS Refresher courses as online courses via Zoom. Participants will receive video training from a qualified trainer and cover the same topics as the classroom course. Upon successful completion of the course you will receive your CITB certificate.

The SMSTS courses are for project managers, site managers and supervisors, business owners and clients. Delegates will gain an understanding of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues on construction sites. If you already have a SMSTS certificate but it is expiring then you should look to complete the 2 day SMSTS Refresher.

The Site Manager Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) can be delivered online or in the classroom. The duration for the SMSTS Refresher course in either format is 2 days.
