Yes, SSSTS Online training takes two days to complete.

The Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a two-day course designed for people who have, or are about to take on, supervisory responsibilities within the construction industry. Completing the training online allows learners to attend from home or another suitable location while still taking part in tutor-led sessions.

How Long Does the Training Take?

The course is delivered over two days. This is the standard duration of the Site Supervision training.

Learners attend scheduled sessions with a tutor, and work through the required syllabus during the programme. The two-day format covers the key health and safety responsibilities associated with supervising construction work, including:

Understanding legal and regulatory requirements
Identifying workplace hazards
Managing health and safety on site
Communicating effectively with workers
Understanding the supervisor’s responsibilities
Contributing to a safer working environment

Because the training covers a substantial amount of information, learners must attend both days and participate fully.

What Happens During SSSTS Online Training?

The online course is delivered through a virtual classroom, allowing learners to take part in the training without travelling to a physical venue.

Although the training is completed remotely, learners still receive live instruction. This also means they can participate in discussions and activities throughout the two days.

The course combines tutor explanations with exercises designed to help learners understand how health and safety principles apply to their responsibilities as site supervisors.

Learners should have a suitable device (laptop or computer), a reliable internet connection, and an appropriate environment in which to complete the training (typically their home, provided they won’t be interrupted).
