CITB Temporary Works Coordinator (TWCTC) Online (Instructor-led)

What is the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Course?

The Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course (TWCTC) is the two-day CITB Site Safety Plus programme for the person appointed to coordinate temporary works on a project. Developed with the Temporary Works Forum, the HSE and Build UK, it explains how temporary works should be managed under BS 5975:2019 and BS 5975-1:2024, and centres on the four Cs – communication, coordination, cooperation and competence. It is a management and procedures course rather than a design course.

Who is the TWCTC Course Suitable For?

People on site with responsibility for managing all forms of temporary works, and those about to take on the temporary works coordinator role. A good standard of English and a valid form of photo ID are required. Attendance supports competence but does not by itself confer it – that is judged by the designated individual within the organisation.

What's Included in the TWCTC Course?

Two days of live instructor-led training over Zoom, course materials written by temporary works specialists, and the CITB mandatory publication for the course (BS 5975:2019, Section 2).

Delivery Method

Live online via Zoom, 08:30 to 17:00 on both days. Delegates need a laptop or PC with webcam, microphone and speakers, a stable connection and a quiet space for the whole course.
