A construction training manager is judged on whether teams are competent, card-ready and compliant before work starts. These are the pressures the page below is built around.
Falls from height remain the single biggest cause of fatal injury in UK construction. Every elevated task needs competent planning, the right equipment and competent supervision.Work at Height Regulations 2005
The CDM Regulations place legal duties on every dutyholder. Principal contractors must be able to show their teams are competent, briefed and properly managed.Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
Sites are gated by cards. CSCS, and the SMSTS and SSSTS scheme for managers and supervisors, are increasingly demanded by clients before a team can mobilise.CITB Site Safety Plus and CSCS
Excavation, lifting operations, abrasive wheels, scaffold and tower work each carry their own competence expectations that a client or principal-contractor audit will check.PUWER, LOLER and sector good practice

We train tier-one contractors and regional builders alike, anywhere in mainland UK. The same employed trainers and the same standards, whether you book a single course or a multi-site programme.
We needed teams card-ready before we could set foot on site. KeyOstas came back with dates inside a day, worked to our mobilisation date, and handled the CITB paperwork so we did not have to.
Construction courses are led by tutors who have worked on live sites, not career trainers reading from a textbook. The examples come from real projects.
CITB SMSTS and SSSTS, SPA, CCNSG and NEBOSH from a single provider, with one point of contact for the whole programme.
In-company courses run on or near your site, scheduled around when the project starts. We send a quote within one working day.
KeyOstas is CITB-registered and handles scheme registration and card processing end to end, so your team gets card-ready without the admin landing on you.
SMSTS, the Site Management Safety Training Scheme, is the manager-level course for site managers, agents and project managers. SSSTS, the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme, is the supervisor-level course for foremen, gangers and team leaders. Most sites need both, at the right level for each role.
Both are valid for five years. You renew with the matching refresher before the card expires. If it lapses there is no refresher route, and the full course has to be taken again, so it pays to book the refresher in good time.
Yes. Both can be delivered in-company at or near your site, scheduled around your project dates, as well as on public course dates. In-company delivery is usually the most cost-effective way to train a group.
CITB Site Safety Plus courses such as SMSTS and SSSTS support the relevant manager and supervisor CSCS cards. Tell us the cards your client requires and we will confirm exactly which courses your team needs.
We send a quote within one working day, Monday to Friday. In-company courses are then scheduled around your mobilisation dates. For a tight deadline, tell us the date the project starts and we will work back from it.
Yes. Our CDM 2015 Awareness course covers the duties the regulations place on every dutyholder, including principal contractors and designers, and how to evidence competence and briefing.
Tell us the courses and the number of people, and we will send a quote within one working day. In-company UK-wide, or book onto a public course.
