Do I need prior experience to take the SSSTS course?

Our online training option lets you complete the course in a virtual classroom with full tutor interaction.

What topics are covered in the SSSTS course?

Our SSSTS Edinburgh course covers essential supervisory responsibilities, including:

• Health and Safety Laws – Understand the legal framework and your responsibilities.

• First Aid and Emergency Procedures – Be prepared for on-site incidents.

• Behavioural Safety – Learn how to promote a culture of safety.

• High-Risk Activities – Identify and manage workplace hazards effectively.

How is the SSSTS course assessed, and how long is the certification valid?

At the end of the course, you’ll take a final assessment featuring multiple-choice questions and scenario-based exercises. You’ll need a passing score of 80% or higher to earn your certification. Once you pass, your SSSTS qualification remains valid for five years—just make sure to complete a refresher course before it expires!

How do I renew my SSSTS certificate?

Keeping your SSSTS certification up to date is easy! Simply take the one-day SSSTS Refresher course before your current certificate expires. This session updates your knowledge on the latest health and safety regulations and best practices. If your certification has already lapsed, you’ll need to retake the full two-day SSSTS course.
