A new, fully accredited SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) Online Course has launched in the UK, providing site managers and aspiring construction leaders with a flexible, convenient way to meet legal health and safety training requirements without the need for in-person attendance.
About SMSTS Course Online: https://www.smstscourseonline.co.uk/
The SMSTS course is a mandatory qualification for anyone involved in the management of construction sites in the UK, and now, with this fully online delivery, professionals across the sector can gain this essential certification from the comfort of their own home or office. The course is designed to equip site managers with a deep understanding of legal, moral, and social responsibilities concerning health and safety in the construction industry.
This development comes as part of a broader shift in the industry towards digital transformation, allowing professionals to continue their training and development without disruption to their working schedules. The online SMSTS course meets all the requirements of the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) and mirrors the content and learning outcomes of the traditional classroom-based version.
Key Features of the SMSTS Online Course:
- CITB Accredited: Fully compliant with the latest CITB syllabus and accepted throughout the UK construction industry.
- Live Online Learning: Delivered via live video conferencing platforms, participants interact in real time with qualified trainers and fellow learners, ensuring an engaging and interactive experience.
- Five-Day Course Format: Delivered over five consecutive days or split into sessions to suit individual and business needs, while covering the full spectrum of health and safety requirements for site management.
- Accessible Nationwide: No need to travel – access the course from anywhere in the UK with a stable internet connection.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reducing travel means lower carbon emissions, supporting sustainable business practices in line with modern environmental commitments.
The course covers a wide range of vital topics, including current UK legislation, risk assessment, method statements, scaffolding safety, electrical safety, fire prevention, confined spaces, and occupational health. It is designed not only to improve knowledge but also to promote a culture of health and safety across all levels of a construction site.
Upon successful completion, candidates receive the SMSTS certificate, which is valid for five years. The qualification is essential for site managers and those moving into management roles, enabling them to meet the criteria required by major contractors and construction companies across the UK.
The course has been developed with flexibility in mind, enabling individuals and organisations to upskill their workforce without significant downtime. It is particularly beneficial for busy professionals who may find it difficult to commit to full-time, location-based training due to operational demands.
With health and safety remaining a top priority across the construction sector, especially in light of ever-evolving regulations and increased scrutiny, the need for high-quality, accessible training has never been greater. The online SMSTS course directly addresses this need by offering a robust, user-friendly learning environment without compromising on quality or compliance.
