SSSTS Refresher Course at a Glance
About the SSSTS Refresher Course
The SSSTS refresher is the renewal course for supervisors who have already passed the full SSSTS course. It updates your knowledge so you stay in line with current health and safety law and good practice on site.
It is shorter than the full course and runs for one day. To join it you must have completed the full SSSTS course, and your certificate must still be in date. If it has expired, you will need to take the full two-day course again.
- You must complete the refresher before your SSSTS certificate expires.
- You should be ready for at least 7.5 hours of training.
- Expect case studies, group discussions and presentations during the day.
- Format: 22 multiple-choice questions and 3 short written questions.
- Time: 30 minutes.
- Pass mark: 80% (24 out of 30), and all safety-critical questions must be answered correctly.
- Proof needed: evidence of your current SSSTS certificate.
