At Target Zero Training, we offer the SMSTS course online for learners across Scotland, allowing you to complete your training from the comfort of your home, office or any remote location. We understand that it is not always practical to travel, especially in more rural or remote areas of Scotland, which is why we have made it easier than ever to access CITB approved health and safety courses online.
Our Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is the ideal next step for those who have completed the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) and are currently working as site managers or preparing to step into a managerial role within construction.
What to Expect from SMSTS Online in Scotland
When you join our SMSTS Online course, you will receive the same high standard of training as you would in person. The course is delivered live via Zoom by qualified instructors with real experience in the construction industry. You will be able to speak directly with your tutor, ask questions and take part in group activities and discussions as you would in a classroom environment.
Course Overview
The SMSTS Online course runs for five days and covers:
- Health and safety legislation
- Legal duties of site managers
- Risk assessment and hazard control
- Monitoring procedures on site
- Case studies and classroom style exercises
You will complete the course with a strong understanding of how to manage health and safety responsibilities across construction sites.
Assessment and Certification
To successfully complete the course, you must attend every session, engage in exercises and pass a final exam. You will then receive a CITB SMSTS certificate, valid for five years. After that, you will need to complete the SMSTS Refresher course before your certificate expires. Digital certificates are issued by CITB within two to three weeks following course completion.
