About the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC) Refresher Course

The CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Refresher is a 1-day course that renews an existing Temporary Works Coordinator certificate. It is part of the CITB Site Safety Plus scheme and is taken by coordinators who already hold a valid Temporary Works Coordinator certificate and need to keep it current.

The original TWC certificate is valid for 5 years. To stay certified you complete the 1-day refresher before it expires. To attend you must have completed a 2-day Temporary Works Coordinator course, or a previous refresher, within the last 5 years and still hold a valid certificate. If your certificate has lapsed, you retake the full 2-day TWC course instead.

The refresher updates coordinators on any changes to BS 5975, legislation and industry best practice, and reinforces the temporary works management process and the four Cs: communication, coordination, cooperation and competency. Those who support the coordinator on the ground hold the Temporary Works Supervisor certificate.

The renewed certificate is valid for a further 5 years.

Who it's for
