To further support delegates, CITB has created a Temporary works awareness eLearning which provides a foundation of the points that will be expanded on in this course.

It is strongly recommended that delegates with limited knowledge on Temporary works complete this eLearning prior to attending this course. This is free to access here: CITB Temporary Works General Awareness
