What Is Included in the Fully Funded Package
This fully funded opportunity combines two essential qualifications designed to make you a stronger, safer, and more confident construction professional:
1. SMSTS Five Day Course
The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is a CITB-accredited course created for site managers, supervisors, and anyone responsible for planning, organising, or monitoring construction activities. Over five days, you will cover:
- Legal duties and health and safety responsibilities
- Risk assessment and method statements
- Managing subcontractors and workforces
- Environmental and welfare requirements
- Site briefings, inductions, and toolbox talks
Completing the SMSTS Course not only enhances your professional credibility but also ensures you remain compliant with UK construction regulations.

2. First Aid at Work Three Day Course
The First Aid at Work qualification teaches vital life-saving skills that every site needs. Through practical, hands-on sessions, you will learn how to respond to real incidents such as:
- Unconscious casualties
- Burns, fractures, and bleeding
- Shock and cardiac arrest
- Workplace emergencies and reporting
Holding a valid first aid qualification demonstrates leadership, responsibility, and a proactive approach to site safety — qualities every employer values.
Key Funding Rules
To qualify for this funded opportunity:
- Funding covers the full cost of both courses.
- Delegates must complete both the SMSTS and the First Aid at Work courses to receive full funding.
- If either course is not completed, the employer or delegate will be liable for the cost and certificates will not be processed.
This ensures commitment and fairness so that places are used by those genuinely looking to develop their skills.
