We can only deliver one type of course at a time (either the Temporary works coordinator (TWC – 2 days) or Temporary works supervisor (TWS – 1 day). If the supervisors complete the temporary works coordinator course this will also cover them undertaking the role of temporary works supervision.
The coordinator course is often undertaken by individuals responsible for both or either roles, and the course content across both courses is similar with the coordinator course being a more comprehensive look at the procedures and processes behind temporary works management and does cover the responsibilities of both the coordinator and the supervisor.
The supervisor’s course is a condensed version of the coordinator course in which they will also need to understand documentational processes, as the coordinator may not be required to be present on site all the times and the supervisor will assist the coordinator fulfil their duties in this eventuality.
From our Temporary Works Trainers experience, the supervisors would benefit more from the coordinator course by understanding the full process for temporary works management and the 2 days allows for greater learning on this topic.
