Helping You Keep Your Qualifications Up to Date
Whether you have just completed an SSSTS course or a few years have passed since you gained your certificate, it’s really important to know when you need to renew it. As a leading provider of SSSTS Refresher courses, we have helped plenty of people to retain their qualification. Here is everything you need to know about how long your SSSTS certificate is valid for and when and why you should renew it.
How long is an SSSTS certificate valid for?
Once you have completed an SSSTS course, you will have a certificate that is valid for 5 years from the date of issue. So it is a course that delivers great value for money in terms of the career benefits that it offers and how often it needs to be taken. The great news is that you don’t even have to take the full course again to retain your certificate! Instead of taking the full SSSTS course again, you’ll just take a 1-day refresher as long as this is completed before your SSSTS certification expires.
Why do you need to renew your SSSTS course?
As time goes by, regulations and site standards change and evolve. While you will still possess valuable skills and knowledge, the refresher course will cover any new developments that you need to be aware of. Another reason that SSSTS certificate holders need to take a refresher course is to make sure that their understanding of key concepts remains just as sharp as ever. It’s human nature to forget some things over time, and the SSSTS refresher course is a great way to brush up on your skills.
Is there a grace period for renewing an SSSTS course?
This is a really common misconception, but there is no grace period when it comes to renewing your SSSTS course. Once it has expired, that’s it. You won’t be eligible to take the refresher course anymore, and if you want to remain SSSTS qualified, you’ll have to do the full course again. This will cost you more time and money, so it is really important that you take your refresher just before your SSSTS certificate expires. Don’t get caught out!
When should you book a refresher course?
You should always take your SSSTS refresher course before your certificate expires, but when? We recommend doing it three to six months before your certificate expires. This will ensure that there is no stress about securing your renewed qualification in time. If you have any worries or questions about the timing, just get in touch with us.
