LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT NEWS | Training Updates | 29th April 2026
This May, CIF Training is spotlighting four programmes designed to support construction professionals at every stage of responsibility, from site supervision and temporary works to sustainability leadership and regulatory compliance.
As the construction sector continues to evolve, so do the responsibilities placed on supervisors, managers, and project leaders. Regulatory change, sustainability expectations, and increased scrutiny around safety and temporary works mean that continuous professional development is no longer optional - it’s essential. Check out our selection of courses below.
CIF City and Guilds 10-day Building Regulations Training Programme
📆 Starting 11th May 🌐 Online 🎓 Programme certificate / 12 CPD points per module
Building regulations remain one of the most complex and high‑risk areas of project delivery. This course is designed to help construction professionals clearly understand their obligations under the Irish Building Regulations and associated guidance.
You’ll gain:
A practical understanding of Parts A–M of the Building Regulations
Clear guidance on compliance, certification, and inspections
Confidence in dealing with design teams, certifiers, and regulators
Ideal for site managers, engineers, contractors, and those involved in certification and compliance.
Health and safety performance on site starts with leadership. This programme equips construction managers with the knowledge and tools required to fulfil their legal duties while actively promoting a strong safety culture.
Key focus areas include:
Legal responsibilities of construction managers
Risk management and decision‑making
Leading safety performance, not just compliance

Participants will explore:
Core sustainability concepts relevant to construction
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations
How sustainability influences procurement, delivery, and reputation
A strong foundation for those beginning their sustainability journey or supporting organisational change.
Temporary works represent one of the highest‑risk elements on construction sites. This programme provides supervisors with a clear understanding of their role within the temporary works process and how it interfaces with the Temporary Works Coordinator (TWC).
Learners will benefit from:
A clear definition of the Temporary Works Supervisor role
Understanding risk, responsibility, and control measures
Practical examples and real‑world scenarios
Essential for those overseeing or interacting with temporary works on site.
