17 February 2025
In response to a significant rise in demand for classroom-based Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) courses, RISK has introduced nine new training locations. This bold step reflects RISK’s commitment to providing high-quality, accessible training that meets the evolving needs of the construction industry.
Why Classroom-Based SSSTS Training is in High Demand
While remote training has become popular in recent years, many professionals continue to see the distinct advantages of face-to-face instruction, particularly for critical qualifications like SSSTS.
The SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) is a vital qualification for construction supervisors, equipping them with essential knowledge of health and safety regulations, risk management, and effective leadership. It demonstrates a commitment to workplace safety, enhances supervisory skills, and is often a requirement for those overseeing construction teams or projects. By listening to the needs of employers and trainees, RISK ensures that construction professionals have access to the high-quality training they need to succeed.
The drivers for selecting a classroom based training course:
-
- Enhanced Interaction and Collaboration:
Classroom learning allows participants to connect directly with experienced trainers, ask questions, and actively participate in group discussions. Interaction with peers fosters a dynamic learning environment where individuals can share insights, discuss challenges, and work collaboratively to find solutions. - Practical and Applied Learning:
In-person sessions incorporate group exercises, role-playing, and case studies that mirror real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach helps participants put theoretical knowledge into practice, building both confidence and practical skills. - Minimized Distractions for Effective Focus:
Attending a classroom session offers a dedicated learning space, free from everyday distractions. This immersive environment helps participants stay engaged with the course content—particularly valuable for a challenging and fast-paced qualification like SSSTS. - Skill Building in Supervisory Leadership:
The SSSTS course equips participants with more than compliance knowledge. It strengthens supervisory skills, enabling learners to lead their teams effectively. Role-playing exercises and teamwork activities within the classroom further enhance these leadership capabilities. - Better Support for Workers Whose First Language Isn’t English:
For participants whose native language isn’t English, classroom training provides a supportive and interactive learning experience. Trainers can break down technical terms, offer visual examples, and adapt teaching techniques to meet individual needs. The face-to-face setting also encourages open communication, allowing participants to clarify doubts and gain confidence in understanding the material.
