Stay Compliant and Certified with SMSTS Refresher Online Training

If you're a construction site manager or supervisor with a valid SMSTS certificate nearing expiry, the SMSTS Refresher online course is your fastest, most convenient way to stay compliant. Delivered live by qualified trainers and approved by CITB, our remote training gives you full flexibility while ensuring you stay up to date with the latest health and safety regulations.

What Is the SMSTS Refresher Online Course?

The SMSTS Refresher online is a two-day training designed for those who have previously completed the full SMSTS course. It covers updated legislation, best practices in construction site safety, and your responsibilities as a manager under the latest CDM regulations.

By completing the refresher before your original certificate expires, you’ll retain your qualification for another five years without needing to repeat the full course.

Who Should Take the Online SMSTS Refresher?

This course is ideal for:

• Site managers and supervisors with an existing (in-date) SMSTS certificate
• Project managers responsible for site safety
• Health and safety officers working in construction
• Anyone looking to renew their CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme qualification

If your certificate has already expired, you must retake the full 5-day SMSTS course instead.
