CITB SMSTS Course Online (Instructor-led)

Instructor-Led CITB SMSTS Course Online

The CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is the recognised health and safety qualification for site managers, agents and persons in control of work on UK construction sites. It is widely required by principal contractors as a condition of appointment.

Delivery Method

This course is delivered live online over Microsoft Teams by a qualified tutor. It is not self-paced e-learning — delegates attend scheduled sessions and participate in real time. You will need a laptop or PC with a working webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection.

Please note: this course runs as day release over five consecutive Fridays rather than as a single block week. Delegates must attend all five days.
