The SSSCP membership is designed to cater to a wide range of trades and professions that need to demonstrate their competency. It is open to individuals at any level within their respective industries, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to provide verifiable evidence of their skills, knowledge, experience, and behaviours. Regardless of your field or expertise, if you require competency, verification, the SSSCP will provide the necessary documentation to support this.

No,  the SSSCP membership is a global scheme open to any company to join, regardless of location or industry.

Every SSSCP member begins their passport with an assessment — proof, not promise, of your Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours. It’s the first step in raising standards, building trust, and showing you can do the job today. Reviewed annually, it keeps you compliant, sharp, and ahead.

When you submit documents to SSSCP, you accept a disclaimer confirming their validity and accuracy. If any issue arises over authenticity, the responsibility is yours. This protects all parties, reinforces accountability, and promotes integrity — putting ownership of actions where it belongs.

The Profile Checker can authorise, verify, and validate many documents directly through linked registration schemes and federations, but not all. Where automated verification isn’t possible, your honesty is critical. If a client flags you and fraudulent uploads are proven, you must be prepared to face the consequences. This approach safeguards trust, supports compliance, and keeps the SSSCP framework credible for everyone.

SSSCP’s colour system keeps you ahead of compliance deadlines. Amber means action needed within three months. Red means expired. No colour means you’re fully up to date.

Both you and your employer see the same status in real time, with reminders sent at 3, 2, and 1 month before expiry — giving you plenty of time to book courses, update qualifications, and stay compliant.

The SSSCP membership belongs to the individual, not the company.

You can be assigned to a company if you take on a permanent role.

You can be removed from a company when you leave.

As a new member, whether representing a company or as an individual, you will gain immediate access to our extensive library of resources, including comprehensive video guides. We’ve dedicated time to clearly explain all the benefits available to you and provide insights on how to make the most of them. This ensures that you can fully leverage the resources at your disposal to enhance your experience and drive your professional development.

As a member, you will benefit from a dynamic, real-time membership document that allows you to upload and update your qualifications and work experience continuously. This live document ensures that your skills and experiences are always current, providing potential employers with an accurate representation of your capabilities.

It’s essential to take responsibility for keeping this document updated, as it reflects your commitment to professional development and accountability. By maintaining accurate and timely information, you present yourself in the best light possible, demonstrating your readiness for new opportunities.

In addition to qualifications, you can also update your work experience and skills, ensuring that your profile is comprehensive and showcases your ongoing growth in the industry.

Legislative changes don’t affect your SSS Compliance Passport — it’s a live record of your Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours, always ready for a profile check. SSSCP is the central platform for all competency evidence, showing your training, qualifications, and compliance in one place, and designed to always remain fit for purpose.

It’s the responsibility of course providers, awarding bodies, and other platforms to keep their training and qualification information up to date, so you can access the right learning to maintain your skills. Once you’ve completed any course or renewal, simply upload it to your SSSCP to keep your profile current. Clients, principal designers, principal contractors, and contractors can then review your records via the Profile Checker and make informed decisions about your on-site presence.

While we cannot enforce compliance with our codes of practice, it is essential for all members to actively commit to them to raise and maintain industry standards. This commitment is vital for driving culture change and working towards the gold standards outlined in the Hackitt Report. By adhering to these codes, members help create new behaviours and build safer, more accountable workplaces across every sector.

This collective effort not only strengthens individual reputations but also fosters trust among clients, partners, and colleagues — ensuring the highest levels of competency and ethical conduct. By making this commitment, you become part of the solution rather than an ongoing problem, helping to shape a safer, more responsible, and future-ready industry.
