It was intensive and great
NTE Academy is the best place in London to do your SIA training. Topnotch trainers, very friendly, etc. I will strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to do training. They are SIMPLY THE BEST
Good instructor we learn a lot of things
The course is interacting and active, the course instructor/tutor is commendable
I booked my training through Hurak but I got my SIA training at Read Training. The trainers were awesome and I did got the required treatment and training as I was told. Their service was good and I would love to do my CCTV training with them in the future.
Nice Hurak Team
The cost of the SMSTS course in London 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.
