CITB SSSTS Refresher Training Course

Delivered over one day, the SSSTS Refresher provides an opportunity to update your knowledge of construction health and safety, review important legislation and refresh your understanding of the responsibilities associated with supervising work on site.

Training can be delivered at our centres, with suitable group training also available at customer premises.

Who Should Attend the SSSTS Refresher?

The SSSTS Refresher is intended for delegates who already hold an existing SSSTS qualification and need to renew their certification.

It is suitable for:

Site Supervisors
Assistant Site Supervisors
Foremen
Gangers
Chargehands
Team Leaders
Experienced tradespeople with supervisory responsibilities
Construction professionals with an existing SSSTS qualification

If you have never completed the SSSTS course, or your previous qualification is no longer valid, you may need to complete the full SSSTS course rather than the refresher. If you are unsure which course you require, contact Safeteam Training Group and our team can help you identify the appropriate option.
