If you want to step into a supervisory role in the construction industry, the SSSTS Course is one of the most important qualifications you can gain. It gives you the skills, knowledge and confidence to lead teams safely and compliantly on UK construction sites.
At Target Zero we deliver approved CITB SSSTS Courses both online and across the United Kingdom. Thousands of supervisors, team leaders and new managers choose us each year to qualify quickly and move forward in their careers.
This guide explains why the SSSTS Course is essential, what it covers and how it helps you progress in site supervision roles.
What Is the SSSTS Course
The SSSTS Course, also known as the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme, is an official CITB programme designed for:
- Working supervisors
- Newly promoted team leaders
- Operatives stepping into a supervisory role
- Anyone responsible for monitoring site safety
The qualification teaches you the legal responsibilities of supervision, how to manage risk and how to lead teams safely on active construction sites.
You can book your place on our nationally delivered course here at SSSTS Course Training.
Do You Need an SSSTS Course to Be a Supervisor
For most employers yes. While not written into law, the SSSTS Course is now an industry standard qualification for anyone supervising construction activities.
Employers expect supervisors to understand:
- UK safety legislation
- Reporting requirements
- Risk assessments and method statements
- How to monitor site activities
- How to prevent unsafe behaviour
- How to communicate safety messages clearly
Without an SSSTS qualification you risk being overlooked for supervisory roles because it proves that you understand how to supervise safely, legally and responsibly.
What the SSSTS Course Covers
Our SSSTS Course gives you practical knowledge that you can immediately apply on site. Key areas include:
- Health and Safety at Work Act
- Construction Design and Management Regulations
- Behavioural safety
- Working at Height
- Fire safety
- Manual handling
- Risk assessments
- Effective communication and toolbox talks
- Monitoring site activity safely
Training is led by experienced instructors who use real examples to strengthen your understanding and build your confidence.
How Long Is the SSSTS Course
The SSSTS Course runs for two days and is available:
- Online through live instructor led training
- Nationwide in classroom locations
- Seven days a week including weekends
Both formats award the same CITB approved certificate.
Who Should Take the SSSTS Course
You should book the SSSTS Course if you:
- Are stepping into a supervisory role
