Sssts Mark Burgess

Recently sat the sssts course with Mark Burgess, I was very nervous but the way Mark ran the course was outstanding and I ended up smashing it with 100% !

Overall

Overall, I was satisfied with the training; however, I was somewhat disappointed with the syllabus. The role of the Principal Contractor was explained only in the context of CDM, with no reference to the Building Safety Act (BSA), which is a fundamental piece of legislation for the industry.

Given that the materials were last revised in 2024, I had expected greater emphasis on the BSA.
