SMSTS Weekend Training

Weekend SMSTS Training Designed Around Working Site Managers

Our SMSTS weekend training is built for construction professionals who cannot step away from site during the working week. By spreading the training across consecutive weekends, this format allows you to complete your SMSTS training without interrupting weekday operations or project deadlines.

Delivered in a classroom setting by experienced construction safety tutors, weekend SMSTS training provides the same depth, credibility, and recognised certification as weekday delivery, simply organised in a way that fits around demanding work schedules.

Why Choose Weekend SMSTS Training?

Construction sites do not pause for training, and many managers cannot afford a full week away. Weekend SMSTS training offers a practical alternative without compromising quality.

This training option allows you to:

• Complete your SMSTS training without taking time off work

• Learn in person with knowledgeable tutors who understand site pressures

• Share experiences and problem-solve with other working construction professionals

• Gain a nationally recognised qualification that remains valid for five years

• Absorb the learning gradually, with time between sessions to reflect and revisit key topics

By training at weekends, you stay productive during the week while still progressing professionally.

What Is Covered During Weekend SMSTS Training?

Weekend SMSTS training follows the full CITB syllabus and provides a thorough understanding of what is expected from those managing safety on construction sites.

Throughout the training, you will cover:

• Legal duties and responsibilities under current UK health and safety legislation

• Planning, reviewing, and enforcing risk assessments and method statements

• Identifying site-specific hazards and applying effective control measures

• Managing site inductions, toolbox talks, and ongoing safety communication

• Handling incidents, reporting accidents, and responding to emergencies

• Managing environmental considerations such as waste, noise, and site impact

• Encouraging a site-wide approach to safety where accountability is shared

Although delivered over weekends, the training content matches that of weekday SMSTS training in full.

Who Weekend SMSTS Training Is Suited For

Weekend SMSTS training is particularly suitable for construction professionals who need flexibility without reducing standards, including:

• Site managers and project managers with full weekday commitments

• Site agents, foremen, and senior supervisors with safety responsibilities

• Experienced supervisors preparing to move into site management roles

• Professionals working on CDM-regulated sites who must demonstrate competence

Across the UK construction sector, SMSTS training is widely accepted as a benchmark for site management safety capability.

SMSTS Training Assessment and Certification

At the conclusion of the training, learners complete a formal assessment consisting of multiple-choice questions and scenario-based exercises. These assessments are designed to test practical understanding rather than theory alone.

On successful completion, you will be awarded an official SMSTS certificate issued by CITB. The certificate is valid for five years, after which refresher training is required to maintain your qualification.

Why Weekend SMSTS Training Works in Practice

Weekend delivery suits professionals who need structure without disruption. This format allows you to:

• Keep weekday site responsibilities unchanged

• Review learning materials between sessions

• Apply new knowledge gradually to live site environments

• Train alongside others balancing similar work pressures

• Gain your qualification without using annual leave

For many managers, this paced approach helps reinforce learning more effectively.
