The Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) Course is an essential qualification for all construction site supervisors. It’s part of the CITB Site Safety Plus suite of courses, and is recognised throughout the UK.
The SSSTS course is aimed at construction site supervisors, and because of this is it focused on the practicalities of supervising workers on a construction site. Our course is tutored by experienced builders, who have worked in the trade before and know the reality of being a construction supervisor.
