A Virtual SSSTS course is an online, CITB-approved version of the Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme delivered through live video platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Instead of attending a physical training centre, delegates join a real-time online session led by a qualified instructor. The virtual format allows you to interact with the trainer, participate in group tasks, ask questions, complete assessments, and earn the exact same certificate as the classroom course.
How Does a Virtual SSSTS Course Work?
The virtual course mirrors the classroom structure but is delivered through an online meeting room. You learn from a live trainer, collaborate with other delegates during activities, take part in discussions, complete online quizzes, and join hazard-spotting exercises designed specifically for digital learning. Training providers have carefully adapted all classroom tasks to ensure the online version remains engaging, interactive, and fully aligned with CITB SSSTS Course standards.
