When to book your SMSTS refresher

An SMSTS certificate is valid for five years. The refresher is how you keep the qualification going for another five, and it is the one thing the course asks of you before you book: the certificate you already hold must still be valid.

Check the date first

Find the expiry date on your certificate. The refresher is for people whose certificate is in date and valid on the day of the class, so the date decides whether you can book. You also bring the certificate with you to the class.

Leave time to book

Classes have a minimum size of six students, so it pays to ask early. Message us a few weeks before your certificate runs out and we can tell you which dates are coming up.

If it has already expired

Do not assume you cannot book. Tell us the date on WhatsApp and we will say what applies to your case, rather than guess here.

What happens at the end

The refresher gives you a new CITB Site Safety Plus SMSTS certificate, valid for five years. After that you take another two day refresher to keep it going for a further five.

Ask us

Message us on WhatsApp from Newcastle with your expiry date and we will reply with the next dates.
