What is the SSSTS Refresher mock test?
The SSSTS Refresher is for supervisors who already hold a valid Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme certificate and need to keep it current within five years. This mock test lets you gauge where you stand before the one-day refresher, focusing on the legislative and HSE guidance changes that have landed since your original course, plus the core supervisor duties you are expected to demonstrate on site.
Each attempt gives you 25 questions and a 30-minute window, the same shape as the real assessment. You need 80% — roughly 20 correct out of 25 — to pass. Work through it honestly, review the questions you slip on, and treat any weak areas as your revision list. It is a practice tool, not the certificate, but it is a reliable way to walk into the refresher prepared.
What the SSSTS Refresher mock test covers
Updated legislation & HSE guidance
The health and safety law, regulations and HSE guidance changes introduced since your last SSSTS, and what they mean for day-to-day supervision.
Supervisor duties under CDM 2015
Your refreshed responsibilities as a supervisor under health and safety law and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
Risk assessments & method statements
Reviewing, applying and communicating risk assessments and safe systems of work so the right controls are actually followed on site.
Monitoring & site inspections
Proactively checking work areas, spotting unsafe acts and conditions, and recording and escalating issues through the correct channels.
Toolbox talks & communication
Briefing your team clearly, delivering effective toolbox talks and keeping two-way communication open across the workforce.
Keeping your supervisor card valid
How the refresher and its assessment work, the five-year renewal window and what happens if your certificate is allowed to lapse.
Why practise with our SSSTS Refresher mock test?
Know the format before you sit it
Practise under the same 25-question, 30-minute conditions so the real refresher assessment holds no surprises on the day.
Catch what has changed
Test yourself on the legislation and guidance updates since your last course, rather than relying on memory alone.
Find your weak spots early
See which topics trip you up while there is still time to read up and close the gaps before renewal.
Practise with zero pressure
No fee, no sign-up and no limit on attempts, so you can rehearse until the answers feel second nature.
How to pass your SSSTS Refresher exam first time
- Read every question fully before answering — with 25 to cover in 30 minutes you have well over a minute each, so there is no need to rush.
- Pay close attention to questions on recent legislation and HSE guidance, as these are exactly the updates the refresher is designed to test.
- Aim comfortably above the 80% pass mark in practice; clearing around 22 of 25 gives you a margin for nerves on the real day.
- After each attempt, note the questions you got wrong and go back to that part of your course notes before you retry.
- Sit all five tests across different sessions — the questions do not overlap, so it is the best way to cover the full breadth of the syllabus.

Each SSSTS Refresher mock test has 25 questions, matching the number in the official refresher assessment so your practice reflects the real thing.
You need 80% to pass, which works out at roughly 20 correct answers out of 25. Anything below that counts as a fail, so aim to build a comfortable margin in practice.
You have 30 minutes to complete the 25 questions. That is a generous amount of time per question, but it is good practice to keep an eye on the clock so you stay used to working to a limit.
No. These questions are written to match the official SSSTS Refresher syllabus, style and difficulty. The live CITB questions cannot be published, so this is genuine practice rather than a copy of the actual paper.
No. This mock only tells you how prepared you are. To renew your certificate you must attend the official CITB SSSTS Refresher course and pass the assessment delivered by an approved training provider.
Treat it as a diagnostic. Sit a test under timed conditions, review every question you miss, revise those topics in your course materials, then come back and try another test to check your progress.
Yes, as often as you want. There are five separate tests with no overlapping questions, and the answer options are shuffled on each attempt, so you can keep practising without simply memorising the order.
