Who’s the SSSTS training programme for? And how long is it?

The SSSTS training is a two-day programme. It is designed for first-line managers, foremen, gangers, team leaders and supervisors. The course is also especially relevant to those who have, or are about to achieve, supervisory duties and responsibilities.

What are the benefits of being SSSTS certified?

The SSSTS course is recognised as the standard requirement for all supervisors by many companies. Alongside this there are also many benefits of studying the course. Including the receipt of an industry recognised certificate. The candidate will also develop new and existing skills . Furthermore, the course is a requirement when applying for a Gold FISS CSCS card.

What is the SSSTS training refresher?

The refresher SSSTS course is for people who have previously passed the full course. Due to the completion of the full course the refresher programme is shorter, lasting just one day. It will include an update of health and safety knowledge. The course also includes, an overview of any legal changes,  and an introduction of new topics. Finally, the course also includes a brief review of the topics previously studied. Our Birmingham centre’s can both host the touchscreen test. The test, in addition to the training programme, is part of FISS CSCS card applications or renewals.
