    Take the Next Step in Construction Site Management—From Anywhere

    Managing an entire construction site comes with major legal and safety responsibilities. Finding five full days for training can feel daunting. SMSTS online course delivery removes that barrier.

    At Target Zero Training, our CITB-approved SMSTS online course offers the same recognised qualification as classroom learning but with total flexibility. With 8,000+ Reviews.io ratings, expert trainers and live virtual classrooms, we make it simple to achieve compliance and career growth while keeping your site running smoothly.

    What Is the SMSTS Online Course?

    The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is a five-day CITB course that equips site managers and project leaders with the skills to plan, monitor and control construction work safely.

    Target Zero delivers this SMSTS training online in real time through a secure virtual classroom. You interact directly with trainers and peers, complete exercises and sit the CITB SMSTS exam—all without leaving home or office. Successful delegates receive the same five-year CITB Site Safety Plus certificate as classroom participants.

    Why Take the SMSTS Course Online?

    Choosing an SMSTS course online offers multiple advantages:

    • Maximum flexibility: join from any location with a stable internet connection.
    • No travel costs or time: save on transport, accommodation and parking.
    • Identical certification: CITB recognises the online course exactly like the in-person one.
    • Live interaction: ask questions, join breakout discussions and group tasks.
    • Immediate compliance: meet legal duties without site disruption.

    Target Zero’s online platform is designed for clear visuals, smooth audio and easy participation.
