Course Overview

The CITB Temporary Works Co-ordinator Training Course (TWCTC) is a two-day programme designed to build a clear understanding of the temporary works co-ordination process and its vital role in safe and efficient project delivery.

Developed in partnership with the Temporary Works Forum, the HSE, and Build UK, this course explains how temporary works should be managed in line with BS 5975:2019 and the updated BS 5975-1:2024 standards. It focuses on the principles of co-ordination, communication, co-operation, and competency — the “4Cs” essential to effective temporary works management.

Rather than teaching detailed engineering design, the TWCTC concentrates on the management and procedural aspects of temporary works, helping delegates understand their responsibilities, the importance of collaboration across teams, and how good practice reduces risk across all project scales.

Completion of the course demonstrates a strong understanding of the Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWC) role and supports ongoing professional competence within the industry. The qualification is recognised across the UK and remains valid for five years before renewal is required.

It was a good course to get an overall idea about TWC.

Michael Bash

I really enjoyed this course, it was very informative and useful for my role. Damien is very engaging, it is a lot of information to take on but it was conveyed in a way that makes it easier to digest with some very good real life examples to help us put it into context. Will recommend to others within my business.
