The requirements of an SMSTS tutor are attendance on a minimum 5 day instructional techniques course. National Construction College (part of CITB-ConstructionSkills) can provide this. You could also do a C&G one week course, C&G 7407 pt 1 for example, through a local college.

There are other criteria. e.g. Nebosh Construction cert (or NVQ4, NEBOSH Diploma, Degree in construction discipline), 6 years employment in the construction industry, 3 at management level and evidence of CPD. These criteria may change for next year.

After approval from SMSTS as a tutor, you then have to deliver through an approved SMSTS provider. If you wish to register as a provider there are more stringent criteria.

Sorry KB, I should have checked this before my first response. Look at the following web page.

It gives the requirement for instructional techniques as a two-day course, but I know that this is about to change to five days. The rest of the information is correct and is likely to remain correct
