SMSTS Virtual Training

SMSTS Virtual Training

LIVE virtual classroom training for CITB - Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) a huge success according to delegate feedback.

SMSTS Virtual Training Fears Unfounded

When CITB announced the need for their Site Safety Plus (SSP) training courses to be delivered remotely there was naturally some people who felt this might not be the right format for them. CITB courses are designed to give everyone, from operative to senior manager, the skills they need to progress through the industry. Courses range from the one-day Health and Safety Awareness course to the five-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme. When Jon Ratledge, Development Manager at Network Rail Capital Delivery East Midlands was booked on the SMSTS virtual training course by RISK, he was naturally a little apprehensive.

“Prior to attending the SMSTS virtual training I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect from virtual training. The week was the best I had in months, the interaction over the week was a taste of the normal interactive environment, that we all miss and long for a return. The course was challenging but interesting, Richard did a good job and kept things structured and interesting throughout the week. The pre-course information was good and you were responsive and helpful when I had a question. All in all a good experience which I would recommend to others, thank you."
