CITB Temporary Works Supervisor (TWSTC) Course

CITB Temporary Works Supervisor (TWSTC) Course

1 Day CourseClassroom

Supervising temporary works on site calls for a solid understanding of both the legal duties involved and the practical teamwork needed to keep everyone safe, and the CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course builds exactly that foundation. Delivered over a single day, it gives delegates a clear grasp of BS5975 and the day-to-day responsibilities that come with the Temporary Works Supervisor role.


This course is often the natural next step for anyone who's already completed the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWCTC) Course and wants to progress further, while co-ordinators due for renewal should also keep the CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWCTC) Refresher Course in mind to keep their own certification current alongside their team's.


Because this role sits closely alongside general site supervision, many delegates pair this course with the CITB SSSTS Course to build a well-rounded supervisory skill set. Anyone whose temporary works involve scaffolding or shoring will also find the CISRS Basic Scaffold Inspection Course (SITS) a useful complement, and the Risk Assessment Online Course reinforces the risk management principles covered throughout the day.


A good standard of spoken and written English is necessary to get the most from the day and complete the end-of-course assessment successfully.

At the end of the CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course, successful candidates will understand:

 

  • The legal duties of a Temporary Works Supervisor
  • Risk management on site
  • The 4Cs: communication, cooperation, coordination and competency
  • The importance of teamwork on a temporary works site
  • BS5975 in respect of this role

The CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course will cover the following topics:

 

  • The role of the Temporary Works Supervisor
  • Types of temporary works
  • Legislation and codes of practice
  • Risk assessment and safety at work
  • BS5975
  • Policies and procedures
  • Case studies

Delegates are required to attend the full day's training on the CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course, during which they're assessed on their knowledge and understanding of each subject area. A multiple-choice test paper of 22 questions, three of which are free text, is sat at the end of the day, with a pass mark of 78% (21 out of 27). Successful candidates are awarded CITB certification, valid for five years.

The CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course is ideal for managers, supervisors and agents, as well as anyone wanting to progress on from the role of a Temporary Works Co-ordinator.

A good understanding of spoken and written English is necessary to attend and successfully complete the CITB Temporary Works Supervisor Course.
