CITB Temporary Works Online Virtual Classroom

This is an Online, Live Virtual Classroom 2-day CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course delivered using Zoom. This course is a direct replacement for the classroom course as it is trainer-led, which means the trainer will be teaching you in real time.

We have been running virtual online CITB Temporary Works Coordinator courses using Zoom Classroom since 2020, and we have put a lot of time and effort into the virtual course’s development to make it a real long-term alternative to classroom courses.

Your trainer will deliver the course online in real-time, so your experience of the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course is engaging and interesting. If you have any questions your trainer is there, live, to support your understanding every step of the way.

The CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course will provide you with essential knowledge and skills for individuals involved in the planning, coordination, and management of temporary works in construction, ensuring their safe and effective implementation throughout a project lifecycle. The course has been adapted to keep you actively involved in the group discussions and activities by using break-out rooms for small group work, online quizzes and polling and survey tools.

How Do Virtual Courses Work?

You will receive a Zoom link by email a few days before your course starts. On the day or first day of your course, use the link to join the group from anywhere using a laptop, computer or tablet. Our virtual courses are trainer-led, and your course is fully interactive. You will be involved in activities and discussions with the trainer and other delegates on Zoom. If you are unfamiliar with the Zoom platform, the training team are able to organise a call to test your equipment before the course date, get in contact with us to arrange a convenient time.

Benefits of a Virtual Online Course:

What will I need to attend a virtual course?

All you need to attend a virtual course is access to a computer, laptop or tablet with a microphone and webcam to use for the duration of the course. Most laptops have a webcam and microphone built-in; however, if you are unsure if your laptop, internet, microphone or anything else is suitable, we can arrange a short test meeting before you book or attend your course to check. This course cannot be attended on a mobile phone.

We will fully support you through the Virtual Temporary Works Coordinator course. You’ll join the course via Zoom using a link in your joining instructions. Zoom is free to use; you can download it, or you can open the meeting in your browser on the first day of the course using the link.

Certificate Icon
Assessment and Certification

You will be continually assessed throughout your course by the trainer that you understand the course material and that you are getting involved in activities and discussions. In addition, you will take a formal exam. The exam is 45 minutes long and consists of 18 multiple-choice questions and 4 written answer questions. The exam is open book, which means that you are allowed to use your course workbook (including any notes that you have written in it) for your exam. The exam is taken online with your trainer as the invigilator.

You will receive a digital certificate usually within 2 weeks of completing your course.

What happens if I fail the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator Assessment?

In the event that delegates fail a CITB assessment paper and they qualify to do a re-sit assessment, the assessment paper can ONLY be taken on the same day.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the questions we frequently get asked about our CITB training courses.

Can I attend the virtual CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course on a smart phone?

As the CITB Temporary Works Coordinator course is a 2-day course, we do not allow delegates to complete the course on a smart phone. The smaller screen size will make following the tutor difficult over 2 days, as well as getting involved in the interactive activities and completing the assessment. If you do not have access to any device other than a smart phone, then a classroom-based course might be a better option for you. Contact one of our team to discuss what your options are.

Is lunch included on virtual courses?

Lunch and refreshments are not included for your virtual course or on most classroom courses. You’ll have plenty of breaks to make yourself a tea or grab some snacks though.

What are online virtual courses?

Online virtual courses give you the same training as you would receive in a classroom course. The difference is that your trainer is on your screen instead of in front of you in a classroom. The training is live and in real-time with the trainer taking you through the course in the same way as a classroom course. The content and qualification awarded are also the same but the presentation is modified to make the online experience interesting and engaging.

What's is the difference if I take the virtual course rather than a classroom course?

The answer is simple no travelling, you will have:-
  • Exactly the same trainers
  • Same course content and learning hours
  • Gain the same qualification
You don't need to be worried about the technology we will support you with guidance, if you have difficulty with joining the course or at any other difficulty during the course.

What’s the difference between virtual and elearning?

Elearning courses are made up of course materials that you read, listen to and watch. Our virtual courses are more like classroom courses except you are viewing your tutor and the presentation on your screen. You learn alongside other delegates, take part in group activities and discussions, share stories and situations from your workplace and get advice from your tutor and classmates. Elearning you learn at your own pace, choosing to do it all at once, an hour at a time however you like, virtual courses have set times just like a classroom course.
