CITB Accredited Temporary Works General Awareness Training Course

The Temporary Works General Awareness Training Course will be hosted at:

Studio 44
Battlefield Enterprise Park
Stafford Drive
Shrewsbury
SY1 3FE

Or Can be joined by Zoom.

This course is designed to provide training for those working in temporary works but who are not undertaking the roles of either temporary works coordinator (TWC) or temporary works supervisor (TWS), as defined in BS 5975:2019.


The rationale for the Temporary works general awareness training course (TWGATC) is to:

  • Raise awareness and impart knowledge of what temporary works are, how they are used, their safety-critical importance, common temporary works issues, and the temporary works management process.
  • Raise awareness of roles and responsibilities in the temporary works process.
  • Set a common standard for the awareness of temporary works across the industry that can be accepted with confidence
  • Allow a transferable knowledge base between employers, to avoid unnecessary supplementary training.
