Course Overview:
The Comprehensive Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course equips construction professionals across the Gulf region with the advanced skills required to plan, design, inspect, and control temporary works safely and effectively. Aligned with BS 5975, the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course (TWCTC), the HBF Temporary Works Guidance 2025, and the HSB Risk Management Framework, this course is localized for GCC construction standards, including UAE Trakhees EHS, Saudi Building Code, and Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS).
Participants gain hands-on expertise in Temporary Works Coordinator Training, Temporary Work Coordinator Course applications, and Temporary Works Coordinator Certification best practices. They will master the principles of the Temporary Works Coordinator BS 5975 process, from risk assessment to procedural control, developing the capability to coordinate contractors, supervise works, and ensure full compliance with safety and documentation standards.
Through practical exercises, group work, and Gulf-based case studies, learners will explore how to implement Temporary Works Training for Engineers in real-world settings. This course focuses on integrating Temporary Works Safety Course principles with on-site supervision and Temporary Works Coordination and Supervision strategies, ensuring participants achieve a robust Temporary Works Coordinator Qualification tailored to local construction challenges.

Training Methodology:
The course uses a mix of interactive lectures, group discussions, case studies, and workshops to ensure participants can apply each concept in real Gulf construction contexts. Participants work through practical exercises reflecting BS 5975 and local codes, focusing on Temporary Works Coordination and Supervision.
Each session includes peer collaboration, documentation exercises, and simulation activities replicating real coordination scenarios from Gulf projects. No physical tools are provided; instead, participants gain access to digital templates, checklists, and procedural samples from the CITB, HBF, and HSB guidelines.
Course Toolbox:
- Digital course manual referencing BS 5975 and GCC codes
- Sample Temporary Works Register templates
- Design brief, permit-to-load, and inspection forms
- Risk assessment (RAMS) templates
- Practical procedural checklists for TWC supervision
- Case studies and documentation samples from regional projects

FAQ:
What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?
Participants should have a background in construction, engineering, or safety management. It is recommended that participants currently hold or aim to hold a position as a Temporary Works Coordinator or Supervisor with prior site management experience.
How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?
Each day's session lasts approximately 4 to 5 hours, including interactive exercises and group work. The complete course runs for 5 days, totaling about 25 hours of guided instruction.
What is the difference between a TWC and a TWS in Gulf construction projects?
A TWC (Temporary Works Coordinator) manages and oversees all temporary works on behalf of the contractor or client, while a TWS (Temporary Works Supervisor) assists in daily supervision. The TWC is responsible for ensuring that all temporary works are properly designed, checked, and certified before use.
How This Course is Different from Other Temporary Works Coordinator Courses:
The Comprehensive Temporary Works Coordinator Training Course stands out for its Gulf-specific adaptation of BS 5975 principles, integrating international standards with regional codes such as the Saudi Building Code, Dubai Municipality’s safety regulations, and the Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS).
Drawing on materials from the CITB TWCTC, the HBF Temporary Works Guidance 2025, and the Temporary Works Procedural Control GPG, this program emphasizes both theory and applied field practices. It includes detailed modules on procedural control, documentation, and multi-contractor coordination, offering participants actionable strategies for managing real-world site challenges in the GCC.
This course is designed not only to teach compliance but also to build professional judgment, technical competence, and leadership in Temporary Works Coordination and Supervision within complex Gulf construction environments.
