Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS)

SMSTS online and classroom based courses by RISK

The SMSTS is a prerequisite qualification for site managers working on a UK construction site. The SMSTS online course is also taken by project managers, supervisors, business owners and clients. This is because taking the SMSTS online course gives you an understanding of the health, safety, welfare and environmental issues on a construction site.

SMSTS Courses Online and Classroom Based

The SMSTS course, or Site Management Safety Training Scheme, is a qualification created by CITB to establish a clear industry-wide standard for the management of health and safety on construction sites. An SMSTS qualification is shown in the Approved Code of Practice for construction regulations, it is considered to be a key requirement for anyone who wants to be a site manager.

SMSTS Course Mandatory Entry Requirements

To be able to read, write and understand English to a good level. Please contact us if you have any concerns in this area

 You will need to provide a valid ID on the first day of the course, such as a copy of your passport or driving licence

If you need to re-sit the test, you must do this within 90 days of the original course date at an additional charge

N.B. With RISK, you can re-sit the exam on the same day at no extra fee.

 

 

SMSTS online courses delivered by Zoom

RISK was the first company to adapt and deliver CITB SMSTS courses for remote online training. The SMSTS online courses are delivered in an engaging format unique to RISK, to ensure the delegates acquire the relevant knowledge and training experience. RISK worked directly with CITB to adapt the SMSTS online course so it can be taught online remotely, via video conferencing using zoom. This is because zoom was found to be more bandwidth friendly than Teams, especially important if you're using a home internet connection.

Taught in a virtual classroom, by expert trainers who know the job and delivered in an engaging format unique to RISK, to ensure the delegates acquire the relevant knowledge and training experience.

SMSTS is a 5 day online course with an online exam on day 5

The SMSTS online course can be sat on day release or as a 5 day block

Certification for the SMSTS online course is valid for 5 years.

To remain certified in this area, you will need to take an SMSTS Refresher online course before the expiry date on your certificate, otherwise the full course will need to be retaken.

The SMSTS online course is for you if you’re considering, or already have, responsibilities for planning, organising, monitoring, controlling and administering groups of staff e.g. site manager.

 

SMSTS online course materials and learning framework

Every training provider will tell you their materials are the best, but we honestly believe we have the leading SMSTS online course support materials to help you get the most from your training with us. This is delivered via an online portal as soon as you book, which means you can get started as soon as your SMSTS online course joining instructions hit your inbox - because all of the RISK SMSTS online course materials are made immediately available to you.

 

The 'Personal Learning Zone' provides 24/7 access from your favourite device

Although we wouldn't recommend using an iPhone for your virtual classroom attendance, the Personal Learning Zone is fully responsive and gives you access to everything you need to learn 'on the go' - which means anytime you have a few spare minutes - whether before the course starts, or whilst the course is running - you can access the extra support features to help you with your learning.

 

An SMSTS online course learning framework and roadmap

The RISK Personal Learning Zone portal is designed to enhance your CITB accredited SMSTS online course learning experience. It provides a clear study framework, interactive learning checks, access to past exams questions and realistic scenarios to test your knowledge.

 

Designed to set out the ‘learning journey’ in a quick and easy format to understand

There are five core components to obtaining the SMSTS qualification with RISK, each step is explained within the Personal Learning Zone to make your SMSTS online course experience and learning intuitive.

 

#1 - Downloading the GE700 official SMSTS online course manual

The GE700 download link will be sent to you via your 'joining instructions' email.

The GE700 is required as a reference source of key information throughout the 5 day SMSTS online course.

Ideally, it's beneficial to review this information BEFORE the course starts and be familiar with the contents, structure and format.

 

#2 - Download the SMSTS online course structured notes

This is a Word document produced by RISK specifically to help you manage the information contained in the SMSTS online course. It's a download within your Personal Learning Zone.

It's designed to structure the notes you take throughout each day of your SMSTS online course.

Your structured notes need to be printed - if you haven't got a printer, RISK will mail them out to you.

Your structured notes also provides the relevant GE700 book reference for the information each day - allowing you to quickly cross reference and access key information within the SMSTS course GE700 digital manual.

 

#3 - Completing the 5 day SMSTS online course

RISK provide a daily learning framework - Each days agenda, the slide deck and any other relevant learning resource specific to the days lesson plan is accessible on the relevant 'day' menu tab within the Personal Learning Zone. This is especially useful if you're taking the day release SMSTS online course, but even if you're taking the 5 day block it helps you build your knowledge and understanding.

 

#4 - SMSTS course online exam

On day 5 you will complete an online exam

Individual SMSTS online exam papers are assigned to each course being taught.

On the day of your exam the tutor will send out an email containing a link which opens your online exam. The tutor will guide all delegates through the opening of the online exam and exam process to ensure everyone can access the online exam paper.

The exam paper is made up of two parts and you have 35 minutes to complete the exam.

Part A - 18 multiple choice questions worth one mark each

Part B - 7 written questions worth two marks each

After 20 minutes - you are allowed to access your downloads/notes to help validate or support your answers.

 

#5 - Sameday marking and results of your SMSTS course online exam

Your completed exam paper is marked by your SMSTS course tutor the day of the exam, this can take 40-60 minutes to complete the process.

You will have three possible outcomes:

81% or more gives you a PASS

Score 71% or less and you will need to resit the whole course.

Score anything between 72% - 80% and you will be able to resit the exam that day. You get one more chance to achieve a pass. There is a different dedicated SMSTS re-sit online exam allocated which is different to the exam taken earlier. If you fail to achive a pass, you will need to resit the whole course.

If successful you will receive your digital certificate within 2 weeks.

 

 

CITB has a rigorous approach to malpractice, plagiarism and collusion during the SMSTS online course & exam

This ensures fairness for all SMSTS online course learners and provides reassurance to the organisations who employ CITB SMSTS qualification holders.

During the SMSTS online course you will be required to:

Show your identification to check you are who you say you are.

Show the room you are in to make sure you are alone.

During the SMSTS course online exam you are invigilated, this means you are always being observed to ensure you are engaged with the screen and not accessing notes, or receiving any other support.

To make sure the SMSTS online courses are carried out correctly CITB silently observes a targeted selection of courses AND scrutinises delegate exam papers. If your RISK tutor or CITB suspects malpractice at any time it will be investigated further. An individuals qualification can be withheld and an entire course could be rejected if found to be acting outside the framework set out by CITB.

It's worth noting that CITB have rejected hundreds of courses, resulting in thousands of individuals having their qualifications withdrawn - so choosing the right training provider, one who is credible and has a proven track record, is essential.

 

 

At the end of the SMSTS online course you will be able to:

► Implement all health, safety, welfare and environmental legislation affecting your daily work

Implement new guidance and industry best practice

State your duties and responsibilities with regards to health, safety, welfare and the environment

 

Certification for the SMSTS online course is valid for 5 years.

To remain certified in this area, you will need to take an SMSTS refresher online course before the expiry date on your certificate, otherwise the full course will need to be retaken.
