I finished my SMSTS course last week with Dan, he was amazing, very knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the 5-days, I do believe this course could be completed in 3 days, but despite the length of the course Dan kept it engaging!

Completed my SSSTS with GTE

Completed my SSSTS with GTE. From start to finish they were extremely professional and the trainer was very proficient at delivering the syllabus. Consideration should be taken however for people who have mental health issues who use a background on teams as they may be triggered by having to show whats in the background (perhaps in the induction email/joining instructions you should make people aware they will not be able to use a background and this will give them the chance to locate themselves somewhere they are more comfortable.)

SMSTS Course

Just completed my SMSTS with GTE and found them great to deal with. Dan the trainer delivered the course brilliantly and made it as interesting as he could.
To the CITB, this course is far too long for what you need to know and should be cut to a 3 day course maximum. Complete information overload for what you actually need.

SMSTS Refresher Course

Very informative and helpful refresher of the SMSTS course I completed 5 years ago. Ray is a great instructor and takes you through all the key sections which you may have forgotten. Would highly recommend for any site managers or directors looking to renew their SMSTS qualification for another 5 years
