Book your SSSTS Refresher for January 2026 with Target Zero Training and renew your Site Supervisor qualification with confidence. This authoritative guide explains everything responsible site supervisors need to know about the SSSTS Refresher in January 2026 including compliance, eligibility, course content, assessment format and how to secure your place with an approved provider.
What is SSSTS Refresher Training
The SSSTS Refresher (Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme Refresher) is an essential renewal programme for UK site supervisors whose original SSSTS qualification is approaching expiry. The refresher updates your legal knowledge, reinforces supervisory responsibilities, and ensures your competence remains aligned with current construction standards and regulatory expectations.
Completing your refresher is required to renew your SSSTS certificate for another validity period and maintain compliance across site environments.
Why January 2026 Matters
As we enter January 2026, many supervisors are reviewing certificates and planning renewals. SSSTS certificates are typically valid for five years. If your current certificate expires in early or mid 2026, then January provides a key renewal window to avoid gaps in compliance.
Booking your SSSTS Refresher in January 2026 also gives access to better date availability, predictable schedules, and more time to complete pre course tasks.
Who Needs SSSTS Refresher
The SSSTS Refresher is required for individuals who:
- Already hold a valid SSSTS certificate
- Are approaching expiry and need to renew during or before 2026
- Supervise construction activities and teams
- Need to maintain currency with modern health and safety standards
If you have never completed SSSTS before, enrolment onto the full SSSTS course would be required instead.
