No. CSCS has confirmed that SMSTS and SSSTS are not accepted as part of CSCS card applications because they are health and safety training courses, not occupational competence qualifications. For a CSCS Supervisory card, applicants normally need the relevant NVQ or SVQ and the appropriate CITB Health, Safety and Environment test.
