Since COVID-19, we've shifted to delivering our SMSTS course in Stafford online via Zoom. The feedback has been fantastic, and the online option has become the most popular choice, thanks to its easy setup, minimal tech requirements, and lower cost compared to classroom sessions.
This CITB course covers health and safety legislation, risk assessments, site setup, accident prevention, and legal responsibilities under CDM regulations. It equips learners to ensure safety compliance and effectively manage construction site safety.
By the end of this SMSTS training in Stafford, you will be able to:
Applicants for the SMSTS course must be able to read, write, and understand English at a good level.
A valid ID, such as a passport or driving licence, must be presented on the first day of the course.
On the last day of your SMSTS course, you will take a 35-minute exam with 25 questions split into two sections.
Part A consists of 18 multiple-choice questions worth 1 mark each, while Part B contains 7 written questions worth 2 marks each.
In the final 15 minutes, you may use your course books and notes to aid your answers.
A minimum score of 26 out of 32 marks (81%) is required to pass.
Stressed about the exams? Don’t worry! They’re straightforward, and we provide free mock exams and a study guide to boost your chances of passing.
Candidates who complete the SMSTS course will be awarded a CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) digital certificate, issued within 2-3 weeks.
This certificate is valid for 5 years, after which refresher training is necessary.
Refresher training is required every five years before your SMSTS certificate expires. To book your refresher course or get more information, visit our SMSTS Refresher course page.
The SMSTS course is offered in two formats: face-to-face at one of our training centres or online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, taught by a CITB-approved instructor.
Since COVID-19, many have preferred the online option. Here’s why:
In addition to the SMSTS course, various other CITB Site Safety Plus courses are available in Stafford. These include:
Want to cut down on training costs? Construction industry employers can benefit from grants designed to help workers stay up-to-date with Health & Safety standards.
CITB offers grants to construction employers for training workers and maintaining health and safety standards on-site. Employers can claim up to £240 for this course, subject to CITB's approval.
To access CITB funding, ensure your delegate has your Company Name, Registered Address, and CITB Levy number. These details must be provided by the student during their class on the course registration form.
After the course is completed, CITB will process the grant directly with the registered company using the provided details.
Abdiaziz did a great job teaching and the course was covered in amazing detail in the short period of time we had, would definitely recommend due to the enjoyment and ease of the course
I had a great experience with them yesterday during my exam. The staff was extremely professional and friendly. I appreciate their expertise and helpfulness.
Abdiaziz was very good at explaining the course thoroughly and in great details, communication was amazing and he was always happy to lend a helping hand.
The cost of the SMSTS course depends on the location and provider, generally ranging between £480 and £600. For a more affordable option, consider booking the SMSTS online course. It offers the same 5-day instructor-led training, but delivered via Zoom, and is typically £50-£80 cheaper.
The SMSTS course is fairly straightforward to pass; you’ll need to achieve 81% or higher. In the last 15 minutes of the exam, you can refer to your notes and books for help. With a 98% first-time pass rate, rest assured that your instructor will equip you with everything you need to succeed.
Yes, you can complete the SMSTS course in five days by attending an online class with your tutor via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
No, CITB does not issue cards. Instead, upon completing your SMSTS course, you will receive a CITB-issued certificate.
Your SMSTS certificate will be valid for five years. After that period, you’ll need to take a two-day refresher course to renew it. If you miss the renewal window, you will need to retake the full course.
The course typically runs for five days, involving classroom and hands-on activities. You can also opt for weekend courses or a day-release schedule, with one session per week.
No, an SMSTS certificate on its own won’t qualify you for a CSCS card. However, it’s a useful qualification that complements the black CSCS card, both of which are often required for UK site managers.
