Why Choose a Weekend SMSTS Course?

The construction industry doesn’t stop, and we understand that taking a full week away from site can be challenging. That’s why our weekend SMSTS course offers:

• The flexibility to gain your SMSTS qualification without missing any work

• In-person training with expert tutors, giving you real-time feedback and support

• Opportunities to discuss real-life site scenarios with other construction professionals

• The same recognised CITB qualification, valid for five years, as the standard weekday course

• A structured, focused learning environment, with time to absorb the content between sessions

This flexible schedule allows you to focus on your training at weekends, while keeping your work commitments on track during the week.

What the Weekend SMSTS Course Covers

Spread over weekends, the course covers the full CITB SMSTS syllabus, giving you a comprehensive understanding of site management responsibilities and legal compliance. Key topics include:

• Current health and safety legislation and your legal responsibilities as a site manager

• How to conduct and monitor risk assessments and method statements

• Identifying hazards and implementing control measures to ensure safe working practices

• Delivering site inductions, toolbox talks, and safety briefings to your team

• Accident reporting procedures, incident investigation, and emergency management

• Environmental responsibilities, including waste management and sustainability on site

• Creating a positive safety culture where everyone takes responsibility for safety

You’ll cover all the same material as the weekday course, just at a more flexible pace that suits your working week.

Who Should Attend a Weekend SMSTS Course?

This course is ideal for:

• Site managers and project managers who are unable to take time off during the week
