The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is a foundational requirement for anyone looking to manage a safe and compliant construction site in the UK. As a CITB-accredited qualification, it demonstrates that a manager has the expertise to handle health, safety, and environmental issues on site. In 2025, our course costs £450 + VAT, providing a competitive and transparent price for high-quality, professional training.

Factors Influencing Professional Training Fees

The total cost of the qualification can vary based on several logistical factors. By offering our course at £450 + VAT, we ensure that delegates receive the latest CITB materials and expert instruction without unnecessary overheads being passed on to the customer.

Maximising Value Through the Online SMSTS Format

When considering the price, it’s important to look at potential "hidden" costs of training. Traditional in-person courses often require delegates to factor in travel, fuel, and potentially overnight accommodation, which can increase the overall cost. Choosing our online delivery format allows managers to complete their five days of training from a home or office setting. This approach not only keeps the course fee at a stable £450 + VAT, but also maximises productivity by eliminating commute times, making it the most efficient route for busy construction professionals.

Long-Term Savings and the SMSTS Refresher

While the initial five-day course is a significant commitment, maintaining the qualification is much more affordable. Once you’ve passed, your certificate is valid for five years. To keep it current, you simply need to take a two-day Refresher course before your original expiry date. This course costs less than the original.
