FAQ – Temporary Works Coordinator Course
I’ve been dealing with temporary works for years – do I still need this course?
If you’re already doing it, this course just makes it official. It helps tie up what you know with the legal stuff – like BS 5975 and CDM – and shows clients you’re not just guessing your way through it. Makes things a bit easier when paperwork gets serious.
Is it just PowerPoints and rules, or will I actually learn something useful?
We’re not into death-by-slide. It’s a mix of real examples, stuff you’ve probably seen on site, and a bit of hands-on work. Most people say it flies by – and it actually sticks.
I’m not technical – can I still take part?
Definitely. You don’t need to be an engineer or designer. If you’re the one on site who makes sure things get done properly – or you’re stepping into that role – this course will suit you fine.
Do I get a certificate at the end?
Yep. Once you’ve done the course and passed the short test, you’ll get a CITB Temporary Works Coordinator certificate. It’s valid for five years and it’s accepted all over the UK.
Will this help with jobs or tenders?
It can, yeah. If you’re working with bigger firms or on public contracts, they often expect you to have this in place. It shows you’re serious about doing the job safely and by the book.
Can we get help with the cost through CITB?
If your company is registered with CITB, chances are you can claim some or all of the fee back. We’ll help you with the paperwork if you’re not sure how it works.
What’s the difference between the coordinator and the supervisor training?
The coordinator course is for the one planning and managing the whole temporary works setup. The supervisor course is more about keeping an eye on things day to day. If you’re approving the work, you’re in the right place.
How much are we talking?
Depends where and how you book it – face-to-face or online. We don’t do hidden fees. Give us a bell or drop a message and we’ll give you the full price straight.
Do you run this across the UK?
Yeah – we’ve got training centres across the country, and we can also run it online if that’s easier. Wherever you’re based, we’ll sort something out.
Do I need to bring anything?
No. We’ll give you everything you need on the day. Just show up with an open mind – and maybe a few site stories of your own.
Is the test difficult?
Honestly? If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll be fine. It’s multiple choice, open book, and not designed to catch you out. Most people pass no problem.
