CITB-Approved Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme
Ever wonder what really goes into making a construction site safer? Our SSSTS (Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme) course is a quick, two-day program that shows you exactly how to keep people out of harm’s way. It’s been CITB-approved, which means it meets one of the highest standards in the UK for construction safety training.
Who Should Consider an SSSTS Course?
If you’re already supervising work on-site-or you’re looking to move into a supervisory role-this course is for you. We get a lot of folks who’ve been in construction for years but never really dug into the formal “health and safety” side of things. By the end of the program, you’ll feel a whole lot more confident about spotting hazards, communicating rules, and handling emergencies.
Quick Tip: Some employers now prefer or even require an SSSTS certificate, so you’ll be ticking a big box for potential job opportunities.
Why Choose Construction and Plant Training Services?
At Construction and Plant Training Services, we’re not into confusing jargon or endless PowerPoint slides. Instead, we focus on:
- Real-World Examples: If there’s a story from a jobsite that helps illustrate a safety rule, we’ll share it.
- Interactive Sessions: Questions are always welcome. We keep groups small so everyone can jump in.
- Experienced Trainers: Our instructors come from the construction industry, so they’ve been in your shoes.
We believe that when you really “get” the reasons behind each regulation, you’re more likely to apply them every day at work.

A Certificate That Opens Doors
Let’s be honest: Employers pay attention to qualifications. Once you finish our SSSTS course, you’ll walk away with a certificate that shows you’re serious about safety and leadership on-site. That often translates to better job stability or even a boost in responsibilities.
Did You Know? Construction managers often say they pick an SSSTS-certified candidate over someone without it, simply because it proves they’ve got a handle on safety protocols.

Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme
Do I need any prior qualifications to join the SSSTS course?
Not necessarily. It’s mostly aimed at people with some site experience, but it’s open to anyone wanting to supervise safely.
Will I need a CSCS card as well?
Having a CSCS card is common in the industry, but it’s not mandatory for this specific course. However, SSSTS pairs really well with the CSCS requirements if you’re aiming to be fully certified.
Is this course really worth my time?
Absolutely. Aside from the obvious safety benefits, it’s a recognized credential that can make your CV stand out.
