Choose your SMSTS course

Choose the full course if you are taking SMSTS for the first time. If you already hold a valid certificate, check the refresher requirements before choosing your dates.

Considering a classroom course in Exeter?

Our Exeter booking options are delivered live online. You join a scheduled class with an instructor and other learners, with questions, discussion and group exercises throughout. If you were looking for a classroom because you want someone to teach and explain the material, that support is part of this format.

A live instructor

Ask questions as you learn and discuss the situations you encounter on site.

Structured training days

Set aside the full 5 days away from normal site duties so you can participate throughout the course.

No journey to a venue

Attend from Exeter or the surrounding area without arranging daily travel or accommodation.

CITB certification

Successful completion leads to the CITB SMSTS qualification, with a certificate valid for five years.

Planning your training from Exeter

If your employer has asked you to find an SMSTS course in Exeter, check whether they need the CITB qualification or specifically require attendance at a physical venue. The courses available here are live online, so your working location does not tie you to a Exeter classroom date.

Set aside the full training days and choose a quiet place where you can take part without site interruptions. Have your computer, webcam, microphone and internet ready before the first session. A mobile phone alone is not suitable for the course.

What the 5-day course covers

SMSTS develops the knowledge needed to manage health and safety on construction sites. You will work through topics including:

  • Health and safety responsibilities and relevant legislation.
  • Risk assessments, method statements and safe systems of work.
  • Managing site hazards, including work at height and excavations.
  • Occupational health, welfare and environmental considerations.
  • Communicating expectations and encouraging safe working practices.

Teaching includes discussion and exercises, followed by assessment. You must attend the full course and meet the assessment requirements to receive the certificate. Read the full SMSTS course details for the syllabus, entry requirements and assessment information.

SMSTS refresher training for Exeter learners

The two-day refresher is for people who already hold a valid SMSTS certificate. Arrange the refresher before your certificate expires. If it has already expired, you will need the full course again.

The refresher is also taught live online. It covers updates and reinforces the knowledge needed to manage site safety. Check the refresher course requirements before booking.

Coordinating training across Exeter and other locations

If you are arranging training for colleagues in Exeter, Bristol, Gloucester and Plymouth, the live online format means you can compare the same course options without finding a separate classroom for each location. Check suitable dates and each learner’s certificate status before booking. Everyone needs their own suitable equipment and time to attend the full course.
