Temporary structures on a building site carry just as much risk as permanent ones, often more, and this two day accredited CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator Course (Remote Learning) brings that essential training straight to your screen. Delivered remotely using instructor-led virtual learning, the course content remains the same as the classroom-based TWCTC training, though delegates attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom video conferencing rather than in person.
Designed to assist those on site with responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works, the CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Course (Remote Learning) also gives confidence to senior management and those engaging contractors that a recognised standard of knowledge and understanding is in place. Anyone weighing up remote against classroom delivery may also want to look at the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWCTC) Course, which covers identical content in person for those who prefer face-to-face learning.
Understanding the essentials of good safety risk management, as outlined in BS5975, is relevant to projects of all sizes, since complex temporary works can occur on small as well as larger sites. The course gives delegates thorough knowledge of the Temporary Works Co-ordinator role, though attendance alone doesn't confirm competency; that comes from a mixture of education, training and experience, with training considered an essential element. Delegates are asked to refer to the current British Standards BS5975 for Temporary Works (Code of Practice) prior to their training.
To take part, delegates need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker; tablets aren't supported for this course. It takes approximately two to three weeks for the CITB to issue an E-Cert following successful completion.
