What our wonderful Students say …

“This was an excellent course for anyone needing a solid awareness of Temporary Works in construction. It is very well suited to Health & Safety professionals, but equally relevant for contracts managers, QSs, procurement teams, or those intending to become a Temporary Works Coordinator or Designated Individual, prior to undertaking formal CITB (or other) accredited training.”
