Frequently Asked Questions – CITB SEATS Environmental Awareness
Why bother with the SEATS course at all?
Let’s face it – environmental rules on site are only getting stricter. This course just gives you the heads-up you need. Nothing too heavy, just solid, usable info that helps you keep things right on-site.
Is this something I have to do legally?
Not exactly. There’s no law forcing you to take it. But loads of firms are now making it part of their site requirements, especially bigger contractors or public jobs.
How long does the cert last?
Five years, once you’ve done the day’s training and passed the short test. Long enough that you won’t need to think about it again anytime soon.
Never done anything like this – is that a problem?
Not at all. You don’t need to know the rules inside out beforehand. The whole idea is to walk you through what matters, so you can avoid headaches later.
Will employers care if I’ve done this?
Yes – definitely. Contractors across the UK recognise the CITB badge, and more job specs are starting to ask for it. Good to have in your corner.
Is this something I can do online?
Right now, it’s mostly classroom-based – helps with the real examples and talking things through. But if that ever changes, we’ll shout about it on the site.
What if I fail? Bit awkward, no?
Don’t stress – it’s not some huge exam. It’s straightforward, and most people pass first time. If not, we’ll help sort a retake. No judgement here.
How do I actually get booked on?
Easiest way? Go to the course page, choose a date that suits and fill out the quick form. If you’d rather talk to someone, just give us a ring or drop us a message.
