What is the SSSTS course?

The CITB Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a two-day programme for construction site supervisors and team leaders. It provides a formal qualification in health and safety legislation, legal duties, and the supervisory skills required to manage a safe site.

Will I receive an SSSTS card after this qualification?

No. The CITB does not issue a physical SSSTS card. Once you pass, you receive a digital CITB SSSTS Certificate. This document is the mandatory evidence of safety training required to apply for a CSCS Gold Supervisor Card. To get the physical card, you must also complete a Level 3 NVQ.

Is the SSSTS course a legal requirement?

While not written into law, the SSSTS certificate is a mandatory requirement for most major UK contractors and site owners. It is the industry-recognised minimum standard for anyone supervising workers on a construction project.

Can I get a CSCS Gold Card with an SSSTS certificate?

The SSSTS certificate provides the mandatory theoretical knowledge for the Gold Card. However, to obtain the physical CSCS Gold Supervisor Card, you must hold this certificate and successfully complete a Level 3 NVQ in Occupational Work Supervision.

Is the SSSTS exam hard to pass?

The exam is rigorous, but our expert instructors ensure you are fully prepared. The 30-minute assessment consists of 25 questions: 22 multiple-choice (which include 4 mandatory safety-critical questions) and 3 short written-answer questions. To pass, you must achieve a total score of 80% (24 out of 30 marks) and correctly answer all 4 safety-critical MCQs. To support your success, we provide comprehensive SSSTS mock tests and in-depth knowledge reviews throughout the 2-day training.

What happens if I fail the SSSTS exam?

If you score between 72% and 77% and pass the safety-critical section, you may be eligible for a same-day resit. If your score falls below 72% or if you fail the safety-critical questions, the CITB requires you to retake the full two-day course.

Can I take the SSSTS course online?

Yes. You can complete the SSSTS course online via a live, tutor-led virtual classroom (Zoom). This remote option offers the same CITB accreditation and curriculum as our physical training centres without travel or accommodation costs.

What is the difference between SSSTS and SMSTS?

SSSTS (2 days) is for supervisors and focuses on site-level safety briefings. SMSTS (5 days) is for site managers and project leads, covering high-level health and safety legislation and project-wide planning.

How much does an SSSTS course cost?

The SSSTS course price depends on the delivery method. Online classes are the most affordable, while in-person training may cost more. Generally, prices range between £250 and £400, including VAT and CITB registration fees. For the exact pricing and group discounts, call us at 0333 344 1293.

How long does the SSSTS certificate last?

The qualification is valid for 5 years. You must pass the one-day SSSTS Refresher course before your current certificate expires. If it lapses by even one day, you must retake the full two-day course to remain qualified.

What is the average salary for a Site Supervisor?

In the UK, entry-level site supervisors typically start around £35,000, while experienced supervisors on major commercial projects can earn between £50,000 and £60,000 annually.
