What is the Temporary Works Coordinator Open Course?

The Open Course is classroom-based training that is open to anyone to book either online or by phone. You will learn alongside other delegates face-to-face with a trainer. A Temporary Works Coordinator is a key person who is responsible for the coordination and management of temporary works on a construction site. Temporary works refer to temporary structures, supports and systems that are put into place to help building projects progress safely and efficiently. Temporary Works Coordinators have key responsibilities, which may include planning and designing coordination, risk assessment, inspection and monitoring and training and guidance.

The Temporary Works Coordinator course will give you the knowledge and skills to effectively coordinate and manage temporary works on construction sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about our CITB training courses.

Can I attend the virtual CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course on a smart phone?

As the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course is a 2-day course, we do not allow delegates to complete the course on a smart phone. The smaller screen size will make following the tutor difficult over 2 days, as well as getting involved in the interactive activities and completing the assessment. If you do not have access to any device other than a smart phone, then a classroom-based course might be a better option for you. Contact one of our team to discuss what your options are.
