Many construction courses now run online with a live tutor, including SMSTS, SSSTS and the one-day HSA. The CITB HS&E test can also be taken online with remote invigilation. Practical training on plant, of course, still needs a real machine.
| Online (live) | Classroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | None | To a training centre |
| Interaction | Breakout rooms, chat, camera on | Face to face |
| Best for | Knowledge courses such as SMSTS and SSSTS | People who learn better in person |
| Not suitable for | Plant and practical skills | Nothing, but takes more time |
Online still means full attention Most online courses require your camera on and active participation. Treat it like a classroom day, not background listening.
The right format depends on the course, your work and how you learn.
Choose online if travel is hard, the course is theory based and you have a quiet space. Choose classroom if you learn best face to face, need practical work or prefer to switch off from work.
