As a fully accredited CITB training provider, Prime offers a range of approved construction training courses for all levels, from operatives through to supervisors and site managers.
All construction courses are delivered by our CITB-accredited and experienced trainers.
These courses are part of the CITB Site Safety Plus framework, which aims to give professionals the skills they need to progress in the construction and civil engineering industries.
Any construction professional who wishes to develop new skills and progress in the industry should attend the CITB training courses, starting with our CITB Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) training. This one-day course will give you the essential skills you need to understand health and safety regulations on construction sites. When you’re ready to progress, take the SSSTS or SMSTS courses to take on supervisory or management responsibilities.
Our CITB Construction courses are delivered at our training centre in Maidstone, Kent or at our venue at The Wharf, Dartford. We can also deliver private training sessions at your preferred location for groups of trainees. Please get in touch with our team to find out more.
If your company is a CITB Levy payer and employs less than 99 PAYE employees, you could apply for a CITB Skills & Training fund to cover part or all your planned CITB training. This grant can be used for all construction related training and qualifications delivered by Prime.

This one-day introductory course is for people who are considering or have just started working in the construction and civil engineering industries. Delegates must be competent in English at an operative level.
A natural progression from this course would be to attend the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS).
Great course!
Intended for those who have or are about to move into a supervisory role in the construction and civil engineering industries. The CITB SSSTS course aims to provide new and existing supervisors with a strong knowledge of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, and help them understand their legal responsibilities relevant to their work activities. The SSSTS course also highlights the requirement to promote Health & Safety and to supervise effectively.
This course is part of the nationally recognised CITB Site Safety Plus scheme and is mandatory for all persons with supervisory responsibilities on BuildUK sites.
For supervisors juggling multiple sites and tight deadlines, stepping away for long periods of training is not always realistic. Our SSSTS course is designed with that in mind, offering a focused and efficient way to strengthen site supervision without disrupting project progress.
Rather than being heavy on theory, the course concentrates on what actually matters on site. It gives supervisors practical, workable knowledge that can be applied immediately to improve supervision, communication and overall site control.
In many cases, issues on site do not start big. They develop gradually through small gaps in supervision or unclear expectations. This training helps address that by ensuring supervisors fully understand their responsibilities and apply standards consistently. The result is clearer communication, fewer avoidable issues, and stronger decision making across live projects.
Because the training is delivered in a structured and time-efficient format, it fits around busy workloads while still delivering real value. Supervisors who complete the course often notice
quick improvements in how their teams operate on site, particularly in maintaining safer, more controlled working environments.
Complete your SSSTS course with Prime Consultancy Group and gain practical supervision skills that help you reduce risk, improve performance, and manage site responsibilities with greater confidence.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
The CITB SSSTS Course runs over two days of six hours each (12h total), which can be completed over 2 consecutive days or 1 day per week over 2 weeks.
Weekday courses commence at 8.30am.
This course is designed for current supervisors or those looking to move into a supervisory role, including first line managers, foremen, gangers and team leaders. It is an ideal foundation for obtaining a basic understanding of Health & Safety duties and responsibilities for junior management.
Upon successful completion of this course, a renewable, five-year CITB Site Supervision Safety Training certificate will be awarded to delegates. To renew their certificate, trainees will be required to attend our SSSTS Refresher training before their certificate expires.

Designed for new and existing site managers and people who are responsible for planning, monitoring, controlling and administering staff on construction sites, the CITB SMSTS Course will provide delegates with an understanding of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues and help them develop the moral and social duties associated with being a site manager.
The CITB SMSTS training is industry-recognised and delivered by our CITB-accredited and experienced trainers. This certificate is required for all site managers working on BuildUK sites.
Picking where you do your SMSTS course matters more than you might think. It is not just about getting the certificate, it is about how confident you feel when you are back on site, making decisions and dealing with situations.
At Prime Consultancy Group, we deliver training in a clear way that keeps people engaged and does not feel like a slog to get through. Our trainers bring real industry experience into the room and explain things in a straightforward, no-nonsense way, so the content actually sticks.
A lot of our learners find us through word of mouth, which probably says more than anything else. Our many five-star Google reviews often mention the same things: relaxed delivery, approachable trainers, and an SMSTS course that feels easier to follow than expected. People also tell us they leave feeling more comfortable taking responsibility on site.
Whether you are stepping into a supervisory role for the first time or just need to renew your qualification, the programme here is built to give you practical application, not just theory on a slide or in a textbook.
Book with Prime Consultancy Group and enjoy a smooth, supportive learning experience from start to finish, with a team that is genuinely here to help you succeed and feel confident throughout the course.

Our CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course is for those that are designated as the site Temporary Work Coordinator.
This Temporary Works Coordinator course is designed to give confidence to senior management by providing delegates with thorough knowledge of what the role entails, the processes involved and the roles of others who design and supervise temporary works.
This course is suitable for those who have knowledge of temporary works or are an existing non-certified Temporary Works Coordinator.
A Temporary Works Coordinator is responsible for making sure temporary structures and systems are properly planned, checked, and coordinated before any work starts on site. This could be anything from scaffolding and excavations to formwork, supports, or other temporary setups needed during construction. The main focus is keeping everything organised so people are not relying on assumptions or last-minute decisions.
It’s not really about physically doing the work yourself. It’s more about staying on top of what is happening, making sure things line up properly, and stepping in when something doesn’t look quite right.
Our Temporary Works Coordinator course is usually for people who already have site experience and are stepping into more responsibility, such as supervisors, site managers, or engineers. It’s not an entry-level course. It’s more about organising and overseeing work that is already happening, rather than carrying it out yourself.
Many people in these roles already understand how sites operate, but this course helps formalise that experience into a recognised responsibility. It gives structure to what is often already being done informally, making expectations clearer for both individuals and site teams.
Enrol today and gain the training needed to take on Temporary Works Coordinator responsibilities.
