CITB SSSTS Refresher (SSSTS-R) in Maidstone, Kent (Classroom)

What is the CITB SSSTS Refresher Course?

The one-day CITB Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SSSTS-R) renews an SSSTS certificate for a further five years. Part of the Site Safety Plus scheme, it brings supervisors up to date with the latest changes in health and safety law and current best practice in the construction industry.

Who is the SSSTS Refresher Course Suitable For?

Supervisors who have passed the full two-day SSSTS course and hold a CITB Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme certificate that is still in date. Evidence of passing the original course is required. If the existing certificate has already expired, the full two-day SSSTS course must be retaken instead.

What's Included in the SSSTS Refresher Course?

A day of tutor-led training from the provider's in-house CITB instructors, including an overview of legislative changes and how they affect the workplace, assessed coursework and the end-of-course CITB examination.
