SMSTS is a five day course that can be taken on a 1 day a week attendance or as a 5 day block attendance. It trains each individual in the essential points of Health and Safety and shows them how to measure Health and Safety performance on their own site.

At the end of the course, each individual has to pass an examination and present (as part of a syndicate) a suitable health and safety solution to a site activity which qualifies them for the Construction Site Managers Safety Certificate.
The certificate expires every five years. After this period runs out, certificate holders are required to sit a two day refresher course to renew their qualification for a further five years.
