About the SMSTS course

SMSTS is the CITB's management-level safety qualification, and the one major contractors expect from the people running their sites. Across five days it covers the legal system, risk assessment and method statements, CDM duties, occupational health, and the practical leadership that keeps a site safe — ending in written and practical assessments, valid for five years with the refresher route to renew.

SMSTS questions

Is the split-week option accepted?

Yes. Providers run SMSTS as five consecutive days or one day a week over five weeks. Both give the same certificate.

What if my certificate has expired?

You will need the full course again. If it is still in date, the 2-day refresher applies — we can book either.

Who should attend the SMSTS course?

Site managers, project managers, agents and anyone with day-to-day control of a construction site. Supervisors usually take SSSTS instead.

How long is the SMSTS certificate valid?

Five years. You then take the 2-day SMSTS Refresher to keep it current, ideally before the expiry date.

Can the 5 days be split up?

Yes. Many providers run the course as blocks over several weeks so you keep site cover. Tell us your preference and we will match a date.
