CITB, the Construction Industry Training Board, is the industry training board and an awarding organisation for the construction sector in England, Scotland and Wales. It sets standards, supports apprenticeships and grants, and accredits training that helps the construction workforce work safely and competently. CITB is best known for its Site Safety Plus scheme, which includes courses such as the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS), the Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS), and the Health and Safety Awareness course. CITB also delivers the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test that underpins many CSCS card applications.

CITB training is widely needed by site managers, supervisors, operatives and anyone working on or visiting a construction site where accredited evidence of safety knowledge is expected. Courses are offered in several delivery formats so you can pick what fits your schedule: in-person classroom sessions, instructor-led live online classes, and self-paced eLearning where a provider makes it available.

Durations vary by course, from short one-day awareness training to multi-day management programmes, often with a refresher needed periodically to stay current. On successful completion you typically receive a recognised certificate of attendance or achievement that you can present to employers and clients. On CourseCloud you can browse CITB-accredited courses from identity-verified UK providers, compare dates, locations and prices side by side, and book instantly. Where a course is delivered as eLearning, it is accessed through Workpass.

There are 23 upcoming dates from £185. Classroom, live online and eLearning formats available depending on the course. Locations include Barnsley, Seaham Grange Industrial Estate.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no single fixed price for CITB courses because they are delivered by independent training providers, and cost depends on the specific course, the delivery format (classroom, live online or eLearning), location and duration. A short one-day awareness course will generally cost less than a multi-day management programme such as SMSTS. On CourseCloud you can compare prices from different identity-verified UK providers side by side before you book, so you can see real, current pricing rather than a generic estimate.

Most CITB Site Safety Plus certificates, including SMSTS and SSSTS, are valid for five years from the date of achievement. To keep your qualification current you complete a refresher course before it expires (for example the SMSTS Refresher or SSSTS Refresher), which is shorter than the original course. Validity can vary by course, so always check the certificate details on the individual course listing. CourseCloud shows the awarding body and certification information for each course so you know what you will receive.

Yes, some CITB courses are designed for people new to construction safety. The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course is an entry-level option aimed at operatives and those new to the industry, and it is often a starting point before progressing to supervisory training. More advanced courses such as SSSTS for supervisors and SMSTS for site managers assume relevant site experience and are intended for people in or moving into those roles. Each CourseCloud listing describes who the course is for so you can choose the right level.

Both formats deliver recognised CITB content, so the right choice depends on how you prefer to learn and your availability. Classroom training offers face-to-face delivery and is well suited to courses with group exercises and discussion. Instructor-led live online classes give you the same trainer interaction without travel, which can be convenient for busy or geographically spread teams. Where a provider offers self-paced eLearning on CourseCloud, it is delivered through Workpass. You can filter and compare formats, dates and providers on CourseCloud and book the option that suits you.
