Who is SMSTS Refresher for?

Existing site managers who previously passed the full SMSTS or a subsequent SMSTS Refresher and need to keep their knowledge and certification current.

Entry requirements

A valid, in-date SMSTS certificate is required. CITB states that if the certificate has expired, the delegate must normally retake the full SMSTS course.

Course schedule

SMSTS Refresher is scheduled up to eight times per month. The recurring rule uses the last full Thursday–Friday and Saturday–Sunday combinations that fit entirely inside the same calendar month. Around some holiday periods, a Monday–Tuesday date may replace a normal slot. Current supplied dates remain subject to provider confirmation.
