Book CITB SMSTS Refresher Course with live availability across the UK. Delivered by accredited providers, with transparent pricing and instant confirmation.
The CITB SMSTS Refresher is a 2-day course that renews an existing Site Management Safety Training Scheme certificate. It is part of the CITB Site Safety Plus scheme and is taken by site managers who already hold a valid SMSTS certificate and need to keep it current.
The original SMSTS certificate is valid for 5 years. To stay certified you must complete the 2-day refresher before that certificate expires. There is no grace period: if your SMSTS certificate has already lapsed, the refresher is not available and you have to retake the full 5-day SMSTS course instead.
The refresher brings managers up to date with the latest changes in legislation, CITB guidance and industry best practice. It reinforces the core duties covered in the full course: the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, risk assessment, method statements and the management of safe systems of work. Supervisors who manage a team rather than a whole site renew through the 1-day SSSTS Refresher instead.
The renewed certificate is valid for a further 5 years.
