A Polite Notice
It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a SMSTS Refresher Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by CITB-ConstructionSkills to provide the SMSTS Refresher course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
