Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)
Do you have supervisory responsibilities in the workplace, or are you considering taking them on? Alternatively, you might have a team member ready to be developed into a site supervisor. Either way, the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a great place to start. SSSTS is part of the CITB’s Site Safety Plus training scheme and is an essential qualification for all construction site supervisors or those looking to progress in their construction career.
If you’re looking for an SSSTS course in Bournemouth or other areas in the South of England, then look no further. We regularly hold open SSSTS courses at our training office in Poole, Dorset. Alternatively, we can come to you to deliver the SSSTS course on-site or nearby in areas including but not limited to Southampton, Portsmouth, London, Weymouth, Dorchester, Plymouth, the Isle of Wight, Yeovil and Exeter.
