CITB ONLINE Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning)

Keeping temporary works knowledge current matters just as much as gaining it in the first place, and this one-day accredited CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning) brings that update straight to your screen. Delivered remotely using instructor-led virtual learning, the training course content remains the same as the classroom-based training, though delegates attend a scheduled, interactive class via Zoom video conferencing rather than in person.

Covering temporary works on both small and large sites, the CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning) focuses on risk management, health and safety regulations and relevant legislation, ensuring co-ordinators understand the role and expectations of managing a temporary works site effectively. Anyone weighing up remote against classroom delivery may also want to look at the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWCTC) Course, which covers the original two day content in person for those who prefer face-to-face learning.

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. All Temporary Works Co-ordinator certificates are valid for five years from the date of issue, and candidates must show their original certificate prior to attending training. 

Any delegate who doesn't attend before their certificate's end date risks losing their right to attend a refresher course and will instead need to attend the full two day course again. It takes approximately two to three weeks for the CITB to issue an E-Cert following successful completion.

By the end of the CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning), delegates will have up-to-date knowledge of managing risks on temporary works sites, building on their prior understanding of:

• Adopting procedural controls as outlined in BS 5975:2019
• The essentials of good risk management (BS 5975:2019)
• Safety management for temporary works
• Managing temporary works on large and small sites
• The 4Cs: communication, co-ordination, co-operation and competence

The CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning) covers the following subject areas:

• The role and responsibilities of a Temporary Works Co-ordinator
• The management process as defined in BS 5975:2019
• The effect of BS 5975:2019 on the Temporary Works Co-ordinator role
• Understanding temporary works documentation
• Guidance and legislation relating to temporary works
• Health and safety
• Risk management

Please note that although there are technical elements to this course, it is not a temporary works technical awareness course.

Delegates on the CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning) are required to attend the full day's training, during which they're assessed on their knowledge and understanding of each subject area. A multiple-choice test paper of 22 questions, four of which are free text, is sat at the end of the day, with a pass mark of 78% (21 out of 27). The exam is scheduled at a convenient time and conducted via a 1-2-1 Zoom video call with your tutor, and no secondary devices, including mobile phones, are allowed during the exam. On successfully passing the end of course assessment, delegates are awarded CITB certification, valid for five years.

The CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning) is only for those who have previously completed the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator Course and been awarded a CITB certificate. Anyone acting as a Temporary Works Co-ordinator, or holding managerial responsibility for temporary works on site, needs to maintain their knowledge by attending a refresher every five years. This includes site managers, project managers, designers, supervisors, consultants and contractors.

Only delegates who have successfully passed the two day Temporary Works Co-ordinator course within the last five years, and can provide evidence of this, are eligible to attend the CITB Online Temporary Works Co-ordinator Refresher Course (Remote Learning). A good understanding of spoken and written English is also necessary to attend and successfully complete the course.
