Assessments and Certification
At the end of the SSSTS course, there’s an exam that delegates must pass to obtain certification. This exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions and three short written questions, with a pass mark of 24 out of 30 (80%). Each exam paper typically contains four safety critical questions, and the candidate must correctly answer them to pass the exam. Exam papers are returned to the CITB for marking once completed. As soon as the examination board releases the results to Training4Employment, the delegates receive them within 5 to 7 working days.
Delegates who pass the exam will receive a CITB Site Safety Plus certificate valid for five years. Although there is no physical SSSTS Card, your site certificate qualification can be listed when applying for additional qualifications.
Training providers are required to give each participant a copy of the two required publications (Toolbox lectures and Construction site supervision) at the beginning of each session. The participant will keep the publications when the course is over.
Retakes
If a delegate passed the trainer review but received a 70% to 77% on the exam, or if they received an 80% pass rate but failed the safety critical questions, they may retake the exam. They may do so within ninety days, either on the same day or the last day of another course. If a delegate fails to resit, they will be allowed to retake the SSSTS course with one free resit.
However, if a delegate receives less than 67% on the final exam, they must retake the entire SSSTS course before being allowed to resit the exam.
