The SSSTS certificate is valid for 5 years. To keep the qualification current, delegates should complete the SSSTS Refresher Course before the certificate expires.

For a CSCS Supervisory card, applicants normally need the relevant NVQ or SVQ and the appropriate CITB Health, Safety and Environment test.

The next step depends on the delegate’s role. Supervisors who need to renew their qualification should take the SSSTS Refresher Course before expiry. Those progressing into site management may look at the CITB SMSTS Course as a natural next step.
