    I recently (Sept 21) attended a 3 day scaffold course here. The centre is well organised with friendly staff and a professional team of instructors who made sure that you have sufficient knowledge to pass the tests.Lunch was provided by "Posh Nosh" and was also very good.The only thing to be aware of is the parking situation. If the centre is busy the car park can fill up quickly meaning that you may have to park some distance away due to DPD taking up most spaces with their fleet of vans so get there early to avoid any hassle.

    I recently completed the Basic Scaffold Inspector 3-day course at Safety & Access Ltd. From initial contact to the end of the course, everything was handled smoothly and professionally.I'd recommend the course to anyone who has scaffold structures up on site - it's informative with comprehensive detail about materials, fittings, ties & inspection procedures. Many thanks to instructor Andy Ferguson, an ex scaffolder who really knows his stuff.

    What is the SSSTS Refresher course?

    The SSSTS Refresher is a one-day CITB-accredited course designed for supervisors who already hold a valid SSSTS certificate and need to renew it before it expires.

    The refresher updates supervisors on:

    • Changes in legislation

    • Industry best practice

    • Common site safety failings

    • Supervisor responsibilities under CDM Regulations

    Who should take the SSSTS Refresher?

    The course is for:

    • Site Supervisors

    • Gangers / Chargehands

    • Team Leaders

    • Foremen

    • Anyone currently holding an in-date SSSTS certificate

    ⚠️ You must hold a valid, unexpired SSSTS certificate to attend this course.

    When should I take the SSSTS Refresher?

    You must complete the refresher before your SSSTS certificate expires.

    Safety & Access recommends booking:

    • At least 3–6 months before expiry

    • As soon as refresher dates become available

    Leaving it too late is one of the most common mistakes and can result in having to retake the full course.

    What happens if my SSSTS certificate has expired?

    If your SSSTS certificate has expired, you cannot take the refresher course.

    You must retake the full 2-day SSSTS course again.

    This rule is set by CITB and applies to all training providers.

    How long does the SSSTS Refresher course last?

    The course lasts 1 full day.

    Attendance for the entire day is mandatory to achieve certification.

    What does the SSSTS Refresher course cover?

    Key topics include:

    • Updates to health & safety legislation

    • CDM Regulations and supervisor duties

    • Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)

    • Behavioural safety and leadership

    • Common site failings and accident trends

    • Toolbox talks and site communication

    • Supervisor responsibilities for working at height, excavations and site safety

    The course focuses on real site scenarios, not basic awareness.

    How is the SSSTS Refresher assessed?

    Assessment includes:

    • Tutor-led discussion and participation

    • A multiple-choice exam at the end of the course

    You must:

    • Attend the full day

    • Pass the assessment to receive certification.

    Is the SSSTS Refresher course difficult?

    The refresher is short but focused.

    Delegates who:

    • Have real site supervisory experience

    • Hold a valid SSSTS certificate

    • Engage with the course generally pass without difficulty.

    It is designed to refresh and update, not to re-teach the full SSSTS syllabus.

    What happens if I fail the SSSTS Refresher exam?

    If you fail:

    • You may be eligible for a resit, subject to CITB rules

    • Resits must be completed within the approved timeframe

    Safety & Access will advise you on your options if required.

    How long is the SSSTS Refresher certificate valid for?

    On successful completion, your SSSTS certificate is renewed for a further 5 years from the expiry date of your previous certificate (not from the refresher course date).

    Can I take the SSSTS Refresher early?

    Yes. You can take the refresher any time before expiry.

    Taking it early does not shorten the 5-year validity period, making early booking a smart option.

    Do I need to bring proof of my existing SSSTS certificate?

    Yes.

    Delegates must provide:

    • A copy of their valid SSSTS certificate

    • Photo ID (as required by CITB)

    Without proof of a valid certificate, attendance may be refused.
