Course Content
The SSSTS training course will enable candidates to understand the problems of the industry, appreciate how health and safety law is structured, identify how their supervisory role fits into that of the manager in controlling site safety, carry out risk assessments and understand the need for method statements, carry out site inductions, toolbox talks and method statement briefings and understand what is meant by proactive and reactive monitoring and appreciate their need.
The main topics covered are:
SSSTS is designed for first line managers, foremen, gangers, team leaders and supervisors – i.e. those who have, or are about to acquire, supervisory responsibilities and need to understand their legal duties to better contribute to the instruction, supervision and monitoring of tasks and activities in order to provide and maintain positive standards of health, safety and welfare on a construction site.
Coursework is assessed by the instructor throughout the course, via work produced by syndicate exercises and individual participation. There is also a 30 minute, 25 question, objective multiple-choice examination at the end of the course. Successful candidates will be awarded the CITB Site Supervision Safety Training Certificate.
The SSSTS training course lasts two days, 8.30 am – 5 pm daily. This can be delivered as a two day block or one day a week over two week period. The SSSTS certificate lasts for five years, after which the course would need to be retaken in order to renew the certificate and keep the qualification up-to-date.
Typical fees for open courses are £265 plus VAT per person at our training rooms in Rainham. However, this can vary for locations and in-house courses.
As part of the fees each candidate will receive CITB GE706 – Construction Site Supervision, the GT700 – Toolbox Talks book and certification. Companies that are eligible for CITB grant refund can claim a grant for each successful candidate who completes the course.
We run regular open SSSTS courses in our Training Centres in Rainham Kent, and Wandsworth London or we are happy to travel to your location if suitable facilities are available. We cover the whole of the UK so would be happy to travel to anywhere you need your course.
It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a SSSTS 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 to provide the SSSTS course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
Very informative and easy to understand and learn from Louise’s tutoring
Excellent. Tutor was fantastic, explained everything and kept it enjoyable.
Fantastic facilities.
Productive and informative couple of days. Both tutors did an excellent job.
Very well delivered, top tutor.
I came away with a new found respect for H&S processes
Excellent instruction throughout the course from an instructor who is clearly a subject matter expert within his field.
I will highly recommend this training centre to anyone wanting to do these types of courses
For future courses I would recommend here.
Light and easy to digest.
Tom is a fantastic tutor, enjoyed the course and learnt a lot of valuable information.
Tom is a great tutor who explained everything in great detail.
He got everyone involved and had a lot of patience with everybody.
Extremely helpful and a great sense of humour, hope to be in one of his courses again in the future.
A good course and very well explained. Found it simplified in a way for myself to understand resulting in my pass
Course was excellently presented by a very knowledgable tutor, who kept it relevant and interesting.
For me personally it was a very worthwhile exercise and I feel my knowledge has been expanded.
Would very happily recommend others to attend the course.
The course I attended last week was very good. Obviously the reason for attendance was to ‘tick the boxes’ and ‘get’ the certificate, however the information learnt, the method(s) of teaching, the environment, and delivery were all outstanding.
The only negative experience of the whole course was travel related and if Sunlight could prevent major holdups on the M25 in future that would be great!
Steve was an excellent teacher, made to feel welcome on both days
All presented in a very friendly atmosphere and made to feel at ease that makes for learning easier.
Tutors are the best I have come across for a long while.
Well done to you all at Lighthouse.
Great course and well taught by both trainers
The risk assessment task was really great, but l feel it would be good to of had one or two more opportunities to do some more practice in pairs and or alone. Also, l would of loved to of had some structure and examples around ‘Toolbox Talks’.
Really great course, would recommend. Thank you!
Really well put together, really relaxed and well taught I was quite nervous before the training however Louise put myself at ease
Great Course. Excellent tutor. Subjects were covered in lots of depth, especially mental health which I think was really helpful and needed.
Would definitely recommend this course.
I found the course o be an eye opener. Felt engaged throughout course. Amy explained everything very well and still kept it interesting. Thanks Amy.
Excellent, extremely beneficial. I will be sending others on this course.
Had a great 2 days, everyone was very welcoming.
Would recommend to family, friends and work mates. Well done Lighthouse and thanks for the hard work.
Course and tutors were both fantastic.
Will use Lighthouse for all other courses needed.
Thank you
Obviously we were restricted by Zoom, however Louise made the course fun and allowed everyone to have their say and input which made myself feel more at ease and made the course more enjoyable.
It was good to be on a course where the tutor had an understanding of life on a construction site.
Very informative, good presentation making it easier to take in all the details.
Rick presented the course clearly and made everyone comfortable. Very good tutor
Both instructors were knowledgeable and approachable.
Rick did a god job. He made the course enjoyable and made me open my eyes to a lot of things that was not noticed in the working site

Rick found innovative ways to get the whole picture across.
He did a great job of interacting everyone in each topic and really helped me to understand the responsibilities of the supervising role

Informative but relaxed.
Really good two days.

I was a bit skeptical about an on line course but it went well and actually felt more relaxed in my own surroundings.
Tuition was great and pointed out key areas from a very vast course subject.
Excellent environment and facilities. Good communication from the tutor.
Learned a lot over the past couple of days and refreshed my memory of a few things as well. Really good course and made as enjoyable yet eye opening as possible. Great teaching methods which helped me to pick up what I needed to know easier.

2nd course (1st one here), 1 of many other courses and by far the most engaging, entertaining, memorable and passionate tutors I’ve had. This is my 2nd course at Lighthouse and would happily come back (insist and go out of my way to come back) in the future. This one will stick with me for quite a while and the lunch was decent too – Thank you
Great course. Looking to put staff on it to increase their knowledge and awareness.

Louise was excellent. She was very loud and clear and made the SSSTS course very good experience. Keep up the good work!!
Whilst the presentation by Rick was factual and engaging, he made it more fun with a mix of light humour on occasion which I feel helped the group relax. This was obviously apparent when it came to the tool box talks as it made candidates more relaxed.

By far the best, well run, presented course I have attended. I thought I was in for a mind numbing two days but Rick made it enjoyable and in turn made it easy to learn. I hope any future courses are with Lighthouse.

We will be using Lighthouse to provide more training in the near future.
Overall excellent. Rick made us all feel welcome, comfortable and confident. Well done!!
