Highest Pass Rates for SMSTS, SSSTS and Refresher Courses
29 September 2025
At RISK, we believe that the true measure of a training provider is not only in the certificates issued, but in the knowledge, confidence, and competence our delegates take back to site. One way to assess this is through course pass rates — and our latest results speak for themselves.
Between August 2024 and July 2025, we’ve tracked the performance of delegates across our:
- Remote Virtual Classroom tutor-led courses
- Physical classroom venues
- In-company tutor-led training
The outcome is clear: our pass rates are among the highest in the industry.
RISK Course Pass Rates (Aug 2024 – Jul 2025)
- SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme): 98.32%
- SMSTS Refresher: 97.47%
- SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme): 95.29%
- SSSTS Refresher: 95.90%
Why These Results Matter
Research shows that our pass rates are consistently higher than those of other providers over the same period. While some organisations may focus on pushing candidates through at all costs, our success lies in the combination of:
- Experienced Tutors – all with real-world construction management expertise.
- Multi-Award-Winning Training – recognised for excellence in delivery.
- Direct Training Provider – not a broker, meaning we have full control over quality.
- Flexible Delivery Options – virtual classrooms, in-person centres, or in-company.
- Commitment to Learning, Not Just Passing – ensuring delegates leave with genuine understanding, not just a certificate.
The Dangers of “Coached Passes”
Some providers take shortcuts, coaching delegates just to pass the test without properly covering the syllabus. This approach not only undermines the integrity of the qualification, but also places individuals and employers at risk.
CITB has the authority to investigate both training providers and qualification holders if there are concerns about standards. With RISK, you can be assured that your certificate is backed by robust training and genuine competence.
Setting the Standard in Construction Safety Training
Our consistently high pass rates are not an accident — they’re the result of over two decades of experience, continual investment in tutor development, and a genuine commitment to improving health and safety culture in the construction industry.
If you want a provider that offers;
- Proven results,
- Transparent pricing,
- And a trusted reputation,
then RISK is the clear choice for your SMSTS, SSSTS and Refresher training.
